  1. What is it? – a tummy tuck is a major operation that removes a large amount of excess skin after weight loss or pregnancy, the operation also tightens the abdominal muscles.

 

  1. Invasive surgery – because of how intense and invasive the tummy tuck surgery is, your doctor will assess if you are physically fit and healthy enough to have the surgery. There is a much longer recovery time than other types of cosmetic surgery like liposuction.

 

  1. Advanced technique – with the advancements in medical technology a tummy tuck is much easier to undertake by surgeons, this means that the operation is much safer and much more reliable than it has been in the past.

 

  1. Must lead a healthy lifestyle – it is important that once you have recovered from your tummy tuck operation that you continue to lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle including regular exercise and a good diet, otherwise you will be back where you started before the operation.

 

  1. Be at ideal weight – a tummy tuck does not make you lose weight, it just removes the excess skin. Surgeons recommend that before having the operation you are within 30% of your ideal body weight.
