Tummy tuck surgery at an affordable price, arranged by Beautiful Beings.

Abdominal cosmetic surgery, also known as a tummy tuck, flattens slack skin and tightens the muscles of the relaxed abdominal wall, which can occur after pregnancy or a considerable weight loss.

Excess subcutaneous fatty tissue can be removed through liposuction in conjunction with a tummy tuck. Although scars are an inevitable result of the removal of excessive skin, they will fade after time and differ from person to person.

A tummy tuck is not just an aesthetic cosmetic surgery procedure but also a solution to functional deficiencies of the abdominal wall, for instance inferior rectus muscle diastases. A tummy tuck not only brings with it a better appearance and function, but also stops the slackening process of the abdominal wall.

Do your research

It's important not to rush into having cosmetic surgery. Do your research and don't be afraid to ask questions. At Beautiful Beings we can put you in contact with previous clients who have undergone a tummy tuck themselves. This can be both reasurring and informative.

The crucial first step before any decision is made regarding a tummy tuck is a consultation with an experienced and licensed cosmetic surgeon. A good state of health is a natural prerequisite before any surgery and tummy tuck is no exception.

A tummy tuck is not recommended if a pregnancy is planned.


What are the alternatives?

In some cases where the skin is not too stretched or has retained its elasticity, Liposuction can be a viable alternative to tummy tuck surgery.

Preparing for your tummy tuck

Before a tummy tuck operation you may be advised to;

Lose weight

Give up or reduce your cigarette intake. Smoking increases your risk of infection during any surgery, and slows your recovery.

About having a tummy tuck operation

There are different methods of tummy tuck. Your surgeon will advise which type is most suitable for you, depending on your individual situation. Your tummy tuck may be combined with liposuction for the best result.

Tummy tuck cosmetic surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. The incision and resulting scar runs closely above the pubic hair between the hipbones. Consequently, the tummy tuck scar is situated where it is easily covered with underwear. In addition to removing excess skin slack, a tummy tuck also includes the transfer of the navel to a new position, reinforcement of the abdominal wall by tightening loose muscles.

What to expect after a tummy tuck

Tummy tuck patients stay overnight in the cosmetic surgery clinic and usually stay for 2 to 3 days afterwards. All tummy tuck patients must rest for about a week after tummy tuck surgery. The bandage should be changed one week after the tummy tuck . It is recommended to rest for about 14 days after a tummy tuck. The patient may return to a full workload after about 6 weeks of gradual recovery post tummy tuck.

The sensation of skin pulling and altered tenderness in the affected areas are common side effects after tummy tuck surgey, but will disappear in a couple of weeks after the tummy tuck.

Recovering from a tummy tuck

You can take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if required. Deeper wounds will take longer to heal. Sometimes dressings are needed for several weeks. Most people can return to work after two to four weeks, but vigorous activity is not advised for at least six weeks after a tummy tuck.
