About Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles to create a flatter, firmer stomach.
This procedure is ideal for individuals who have lost significant weight, experienced pregnancy, or have loose skin and muscle laxity around their midsection. A tummy tuck can dramatically enhance the appearance of the abdomen, restoring a more toned figure.
It is also suitable for those with diastasis recti, where abdominal muscles have become separated. Candidates should be in good health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes, and be close to or at their ideal weight for the best results.
At Signature Clinic, abdominoplasty is performed by GMC-registered surgeons who will evaluate your goals and recommend a treatment plan during your free consultation.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) In Detail
Benefits of Abdominoplasty

- Restores a smoother abdominal contour
- Boosts confidence in clothing and swimwear
- Results can be long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle
The Procedure
Full abdominoplasty A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. Excess skin and fat are removed above and below the navel, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smoother, firmer abdomen. The belly button is repositioned for a natural look.
Mini tummy tuck A smaller incision targets the lower abdomen, typically below the belly button. Suitable for those with minimal skin laxity in the lower abdominal region. No navel repositioning is required.
Extended tummy tuck Addresses the flanks as well as the abdomen, making it ideal for those with more extensive excess skin or fat around the sides and lower back.
Depending on your goals, liposuction may also be performed alongside abdominoplasty to target stubborn fat in adjacent areas such as the hips, thighs, or flanks. Your surgeon will discuss whether a combined approach is suitable based on your goals and recovery considerations.
