01
Understanding the procedure
Abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin and fat. Where appropriate, the supporting abdominal wall is tightened as part of the plan.
02
Is it right for you?
Loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss may be assessed. Stable weight, smoking and future pregnancy plans influence timing.
03
Your consultation
Bring your questions and a list of medications, allergies and previous procedures. Discuss goals, alternatives, scars, costs and aftercare. An in-person assessment is essential before confirming a treatment plan.
04
Your treatment plan
A full or more limited operation may be considered. Scar position, the navel and muscle repair are discussed in advance.
05
What to expect
The aim is a smoother abdominal contour. A permanent scar remains; pregnancy or substantial weight change can affect the outcome.
06
Time for recovery
Plan for early assistance and restrictions on lifting and exercise. Movement and clot-prevention measures are individually prescribed.
07
An informed decision
Delayed healing, fluid collections, infection, altered sensation, scars and blood clots are possible.
Your individual risk profile and the full consent discussion are addressed during consultation.PATIENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Discuss comparable casesYOUR QUESTIONS
A little more clarity.
Will all stretch marks disappear?
Only marks on the removed skin may be eliminated. Other stretch marks remain.
When can I return to work?
Timing depends on the procedure, healing and your work. Agree on an individual plan with your surgeon.
How much will treatment cost?
A written estimate follows assessment and should clarify the procedure, facility, anaesthesia and follow-up costs where applicable.
