Abdominoplasty in Manchester
Removing excess fat and sagging skin, a tummy tuck is a form of body contouring which is ideal for people following extreme weight loss or pregnancy. Tummy tuck surgery can also be part of other surgeries, such as a mummy makeover.
Abdominoplasty surgery can transform your stomach area and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Case Studies
Tummy Tuck Consultation
We offer both in-person consultations in our Manchester clinic or via video call, depending on our surgeons’ availability and patients’ needs.
Our consultation process includes a detailed explanation of the surgery and our surgeon finding out more about why you want the surgery and your expectations. We will show you our case studies, as well as discuss recovery, preparation requirements and potential complications. Once we have a better understanding of your medical history and expectations, we can recommend which procedure will be best suited to you.
We ensure our patients have all the information before they make the choice to undergo abdominoplasty surgery.

Abdominoplasty Surgical Procedures
Your UK Aesthetic surgeon will discuss the different surgical procedures in more detail if they are suitable for you.
Full Abdominoplasty
The most common form of tummy tuck involves making an incision across the stomach and around the belly button, with the excess fat and skin being removed.
Fleur De Lis Abdominoplasty
A fleur de lis abdominoplasty surgery is a preferred technique for cases that require more excess skin removal using a specific incision, which gives FDL its name.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck surgery is suitable for those who require less fat and excess skin removal. This surgery is usually well-suited to patients post-pregnancy.
Abdominal Reconstruction
Abdominal Reconstruction uses a combination of techniques, including body lifting, fat removal, and abdominoplasty with abdominal wall tightening.

Abdominoplasty Surgery Preparations & Potential Side Effects
We ask patients to stop taking any medication a week or more before surgery, including herbal supplements, unless approved by us. We also need you to keep us informed on your wellness leading up to your surgery. As tummy tucks include fat removal as well as excess skin removal, we may ask patients to lose and maintain a weight goal before surgery.
Side effects associated with a tummy tuck include swelling, bruising, tenderness, scarring and numbness in the surgical areas. These are common and typically fade with time. Your chosen UK Aesthetic surgeon will go into further detail about potential risks both during your consultation and after surgery.
