Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Personalised surgery. Natural-looking results. Consultant-led care.
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Whether following pregnancy, significant weight loss or the natural ageing process, a tummy tuck can restore a firmer, flatter and more defined abdominal profile.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced consultant plastic surgeons provide personalised tummy tuck procedures tailored to your body shape and goals, helping you achieve natural-looking results with the highest standards of surgical care.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance and contour of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles.
Many people find that diet and exercise alone cannot correct loose skin or weakened muscles caused by pregnancy, ageing or significant weight loss. During a tummy tuck, the abdominal muscles are repaired if necessary, excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is carefully repositioned to create a smoother, firmer contour.
Depending on your anatomy and treatment goals, your consultant surgeon may recommend a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck or an extended tummy tuck to achieve the most appropriate result.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure but is designed to improve body shape once you are close to your ideal, stable weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What does a tummy tuck treat?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer appearance.
Is a tummy tuck the same as liposuction?
No. Liposuction removes excess fat, whereas a tummy tuck also removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles. The two procedures are often combined to achieve optimal body contouring results.
Will my muscles be tightened?
If you have stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), these can often be repaired during the procedure to restore strength and improve abdominal contour.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to desk-based work within two to three weeks. Full recovery varies, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should generally be avoided for six to eight weeks.
Will I have a scar?
Yes. A tummy tuck leaves a scar positioned low on the abdomen, typically below the bikini line where it can usually be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Your surgeon will aim to place the incision as discreetly as possible.
Will the results be permanent?
The results are long-lasting, particularly if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies may affect the outcome.
Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A tummy tuck is commonly combined with liposuction, breast surgery or labiaplasty as part of a personalised Mummy Makeover.
When will I see my final results?
You'll notice an immediate improvement in your abdominal contour after surgery, although swelling is normal. As healing progresses, your final results will typically become visible within three to six months.
