Tummy Tuck
Firm, flatten, and redefine the abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing the muscle beneath it.
Abdominoplasty at N1 Plastic Surgery
A tummy tuck does what exercise cannot: it removes surplus skin and repairs separated abdominal muscle.
After pregnancy or significant weight change, the abdominal wall can stretch and the muscles can separate. Training tightens what is left but cannot close a gap or shrink loose skin. Abdominoplasty removes the excess, repairs the muscle layer, and repositions what remains for a flatter, stronger core — with the scar placed low and hidden.

Flatter, Firmer Profile: Excess skin is removed and the remaining tissue redraped smoothly.
Muscle Repair: Separated muscle (diastasis) is closed, which often improves core strength and posture.

Improved Comfort: Many patients report relief from skin irritation and better fit in clothing.
Long-Lasting Result: With a stable weight, the improvement in contour is durable.
What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Journey
01
Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Simulation
We start by listening. Your surgeon assesses your anatomy and goals, then uses Adoreal’s 3D technology to simulate your tummy tuck result before any commitment is made.
02
Tailored Surgical Plan
We decide between a full and a mini abdominoplasty, whether muscle repair is needed, and where the scar will sit under your usual underwear.
03
Your Procedure Day
A full tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthetic and usually involves one or two nights with us.
04
Recovery & Ongoing Support
Plan two weeks off work and six weeks before returning to full training. Support garments and our aftercare team guide each stage.
Recovery After Tummy Tuck
Initial Recovery: Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following surgery. You’ll wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support your abdomen as it heals.
Return to Activity: Most patients can return to light activities, such as walking, within the first 1–2 weeks. You’ll need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least six to eight weeks.
Long-Term Results: Full results become visible over the course of several months as swelling subsides and the tissues heal. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your new contours can last for many years.
Minimized Scarring: Our surgeons carefully place incisions low on the abdomen, making them easy to conceal under clothing or swimwear. Scars typically fade over time, and we offer guidance on scar management.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tummy Tucks
Should I wait until after having children?
Generally yes. Pregnancy after a tummy tuck can undo the muscle repair, so we usually advise completing your family first.
Full or mini tummy tuck?
A mini suits limited laxity below the navel; a full tuck addresses the whole abdominal wall. Your surgeon will recommend based on examination.
How visible is the scar?
It is a long scar, but placed low and horizontally so clothing covers it. It fades considerably over the first year.
Can it be combined with liposuction?
Very often, yes — liposuction of the flanks refines the waist and improves the overall result.
A Stronger, Flatter Core
Abdominoplasty is a significant procedure with a significant reward. We will be candid about what it can and cannot do, and we will support you the whole way through.
