Comparison
Tummy tuck techniques
A tummy tuck is done as a full (classic) or mini operation, or combined with liposuction as lipoabdominoplasty. Compare the scope of surgery, the indications and the expected results to choose the right technique together with your surgeon.
Tummy tuck
Removal of excess skin, abdominal muscle tightening
- Main goal
- Removal of excess skin, diastasis repair
- When it is done
- Excess skin after childbirth or weight loss
- Anaesthesia and stay
- General anaesthesia, up to 3 days in hospital
Lipoabdominoplasty
Tummy tuck with added liposuction
- Main goal
- Tummy tightening and waist contouring
- When it is done
- For fat deposits on the flanks and waist
- Anaesthesia and stay
- General anaesthesia, up to 3 days in hospital
The benefits and recovery times shown are averaged for each technique and given for guidance: the scope of correction and rehabilitation depend on your anatomy and individual features, and the surgeon confirms them at the consultation.
At the consultation the surgeon draws up a plan for your case and explains how your tummy tuck will go.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

How it works
Three days at the clinic —
from preparation to discharge
An agreed correction plan, inpatient observation and post-op check-ups.
1Consultation
and the surgical plan
The surgeon assesses your abdominal skin and muscles and checks for diastasis, listens to your wishes and chooses the right correction technique.
2Booking the date
of surgery
We reserve a surgery date for you: the deposit can be paid by card at the clinic or online by bank transfer. The terms are fixed in the contract for medical services
3Check-up before
surgery
Before surgery you complete a full lab check-up: blood tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and reports from the required specialists.
4Surgery
The surgeon performs the tummy tuck with the chosen technique, repairs diastasis if needed and shapes a firmer abdominal contour.
5Inpatient stay
After surgery the patient stays for 1–3 days in a comfortable hospital ward with meals, under medical supervision.
6Recovery
After surgery you get a recovery programme. Check-ups at 7 days, 3 and 6 months help track your recovery.
Recovery after abdominoplasty
For 1–3 days right after surgery the patient stays in hospital under medical supervision. Drains are usually removed after two days, stitches after 7 days. You wear a compression binder for 1.5–2 months; it supports the abdominal wall and shapes a smooth contour. Office work resumes after 2–3 weeks, and most swelling goes within 30 days. Sports, sauna and heavy lifting are off-limits for 2–3 months, and at first sleeping on your back with knees bent is advised. By 12 months the scar is fully mature and fades to barely noticeable.
Post-op check-ups
After 7 days, at 3 months and at 6 months. Until the end of the year, get a post-surgery consultation with your surgeon to review results and get more information, at the clinic's expense

FAQ
We answer what
people ask before booking
Yes, combining is allowed and is very common in practice. Liposuction of the flanks and waist is added to a tummy tuck, and after childbirth — repair of rectus diastasis. You go through one anaesthesia and one recovery period, and the surgeon will tell you at the consultation how extensive the procedure will be.
No, it will not help with weight loss. The goal is another: to remove excess stretched skin and the fat apron and restore the muscle wall of the abdomen. Surgery is done when weight is stable; if it is still changing, see a dietitian or endocrinologist first.
Yes, there will be a scar — the unavoidable cost of removing excess skin. In a classic tummy tuck the incision runs across the lower abdomen from hip to hip, below the underwear or swimsuit line; in a mini tummy tuck it is much shorter. Over time the scar fades and becomes thin.
Removing sagging skin and the fat apron is the very job of this surgery: both are removed fully, taking the stretch marks below the navel with them. The upper abdominal skin is pulled downward, so the tummy is smooth without an additional lift.
No, there's no pain in the procedure: with general anaesthesia for a tummy tuck, nothing is felt. The first days bring tightness and soreness that painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve, and the discomfort eases noticeably by the end of the first week.
After a tummy tuck the restrictions are the same for all patients. In the first 2–3 weeks, physical exertion, heavy lifting and sudden movements are not allowed. For at least a month, avoid sauna, steam bath, pool, tanning beds, alcohol and smoking. Sport resumes gradually and only with the surgeon's approval. Another 4–8 weeks in compression garments.
Minimum age — 18, and only with no contraindications. There is no upper limit; each case at our clinic is considered individually after an examination and assessment of health.
The scope of surgery is what differs. A mini tummy tuck deals with a small excess of skin below the navel, so the incision is shorter, the navel stays put and recovery is faster. A classic tummy tuck removes the skin-and-fat apron across the whole abdomen, moves the navel and lets the surgeon repair diastasis along the full length of the muscles.
There are three stages in recovery: you can return to office work after 2–3 weeks, swelling and tightness pass by 1.5–2 months, and at 6–12 months the final result and scar are assessed as the tissues fully adapt.
Skin that has been removed doesn't regrow, which makes that part of the result permanent. The abdomen will only stretch again with significant weight gain, so maintain a stable weight. A pregnancy after a tummy tuck is possible, but it stretches the repaired muscles — surgery is therefore planned once your family is complete.
Yes, you need to prepare. Smoking, alcohol and medicines affecting blood clotting are stopped 7–10 days before a tummy tuck. A pre-surgery check-up is needed — blood tests, ECG, leg vein ultrasound, GP and anaesthetist consultations — and should be done in advance, not the day before.
The answer is the same for everyone: first changes are visible 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides. Then come two checkpoints: 1.5–2 months for an interim result and 6–12 months for the final contours.
Yes, a stay in hospital is needed. A classic tummy tuck means 1–3 days under medical supervision; for a mini tummy tuck, one day is usually enough. At home recovery continues, and the surgeon monitors it at scheduled check-ups.
For a tummy tuck, everyone needs the same list: blood and urine tests, coagulation panel, biochemistry, tests for infections, ECG, chest X-ray, leg vein ultrasound and a report from a GP. The surgeon gives the precise list at the consultation, and tests are usually valid for 10–14 days.
No, repair isn't for everyone: it is done only if the rectus abdominis muscles are truly separated. Diastasis is seen by the surgeon during the examination and, where there is doubt, confirmed with ultrasound. The muscles are brought together in the same surgery, without a separate procedure.
Pregnancy after a tummy tuck isn't forbidden, but the order matters: childbirth first, then surgery. Otherwise the skin and muscles stretch again and part of the result is lost. Surgeons give one piece of advice: if you plan a child, wait at least a year after the procedure.
Yes, it's required — the garment supports tissues and reduces swelling, and without it recovery is worse. The first 3–4 weeks it is worn around the clock, after that during the day for about another month. The operating surgeon will tell you the exact period.
