Frequently asked questions

Answers before your consultation

What is a tummy tuck?

Surgery that removes excess abdominal skin and fat and may include muscle repair.

Is it the same as liposuction?

No. Liposuction targets fat, while a tummy tuck primarily treats excess skin and may address the abdominal wall.

How long is recovery?

It depends on the extent of surgery and individual progress.

Will there be a scar?

Yes. Its length depends on the technique, and its appearance over time depends on skin characteristics and aftercare.
