This procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose or sagging abdominal skin due to significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. This requires general anesthesia.

What to expect before, during, and after the abdominoplasty surgery?
Before Surgery:
- You will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns.
- Pre-surgery instructions may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
During Surgery:
- The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.
- The surgeon will make incisions to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying muscles.
- The incisions will be closed with sutures, and drains may be placed to remove excess fluid.
After Surgery:
- You will have dressings and a compression garment to support your abdomen as it heals.
- Expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medication.
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort.
- Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with gradual improvements in the abdominal contour as swelling subsides.
Tummy Tuck Recovery and Travel Support
Your recovery happens in stages. Here’s what to expect:
First Week
You’ll spend 1-2 days in the clinic for monitoring. A compression garment will help control swelling, and drains will be in place. Expect some discomfort – this is normal. We’ll provide pain medication to keep you comfortable, and you’ll need to rest with your upper body slightly elevated when sleeping.
Weeks 2-3
Most people return to light daily activities during this time, but avoid strenuous movement. The major swelling starts decreasing, and you’ll have follow-up appointments for drain removal. You’ll continue wearing your compression garment as directed by your surgeon.
Months 1-3
Now you can start getting back to your regular routines, including returning to work if your job isn’t physically demanding. Exercise should still be limited – take it slow and follow your surgeon’s guidance. Most of the swelling will be gone, and you’ll begin to see your new abdominal contour more clearly.
Long-term Results
Your abdomen continues settling into its final shape for up to 6 months. The changes are subtle but continuous. You’ll see the final results once all swelling subsides, revealing a flatter, firmer abdominal profile that looks natural and proportionate with your body.
