Abdominoplasty is performed under anaesthesia. The operation involves tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin and fat. The duration and surgical technique may vary depending on individual anatomy and treatment goals.
Recovery times vary between individuals. Some swelling, bruising, or discomfort is normal for the first few weeks. You may need to wear compression garments and limit certain activities. Our team will provide pain management, wound care advice, and follow-up appointments to support healing.
All surgery carries risks. Potential risks include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, changes in sensation, and complications related to anaesthesia. We discuss these in detail during consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Most patients can engage in light activities within 2 weeks, but strenuous exercises and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6-8 weeks.
While there will be a scar, we place it in a location easily concealed by most underwear and swimwear. Over time, scars tend to fade.
Light activities are feasible in about 2 weeks, but intense exertion should be delayed for approximately 6-8 weeks.
Results from abdominoplasty can be long-lasting when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, outcomes vary between individuals and natural ageing or weight changes may alter results over time.
Your satisfaction is paramount. We are committed to addressing any concerns and exploring potential revisions if necessary.
Preparation might involve avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and ensuring good overall health. We'll provide detailed guidance.
