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 a tummy tuck
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, a tummy tuck is not for losing weight. It serves another goal — removing surplus stretched skin and the fat apron and restoring the abdominal muscle wall. Surgery requires a stable weight; if yours is still changing, first consult a dietitian or endocrinologist.
Yes, there will be a scar, since removing excess skin always has that price. A classic tummy tuck leaves an incision across the lower abdomen from hip to hip, below the underwear or swimsuit line; a mini tummy tuck leaves a much shorter one. Over time it fades and thins.
Removing sagging skin and the fat apron is exactly what the surgery does: they are removed entirely, and stretch marks below the navel go with them. The surgeon pulls the upper abdominal skin downward, so the tummy ends up smooth without an extra lift.
No, the procedure is painless: the tummy tuck is done under general anaesthesia, so the patient feels nothing. The first days bring tightness and soreness, eased with doctor-prescribed painkillers; the discomfort drops 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.
The minimum age is 18, only in the absence of contraindications. An upper limit doesn't exist at all — our clinic looks at each case individually, after examination and a health assessment.
It all comes down to the scope of surgery. A mini tummy tuck treats a small excess of skin below the navel, with a shorter incision, no navel repositioning and faster recovery. A classic tummy tuck removes the skin-and-fat apron over the entire abdomen, involves moving the navel and allows diastasis repair along the full length of the muscles.
Recovery has three milestones: office work becomes possible after 2–3 weeks, swelling and tightness are gone by 1.5–2 months, and at 6–12 months, when the tissues have fully adapted, the final result and scar are assessed.
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 have to prepare. 7–10 days before the tummy tuck, stop smoking, alcohol and any medicines affecting blood clotting. A pre-surgery check-up is needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound of the leg veins, GP and anaesthetist consultations. Do it well in advance, not the day before.
For everyone the answer is the same. The first changes appear 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides, followed by two checkpoints: the interim result at 1.5–2 months and the final contours at 6–12 months.
Yes, hospital stay is required — 1–3 days under medical supervision after a classic tummy tuck, while a mini tummy tuck usually needs only one day. You continue recovering at home, and the surgeon follows up 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, a repair is not always needed; it is performed only when the rectus abdominis muscles really are separated. The surgeon detects diastasis at the examination, and ultrasound confirms it if in doubt. Separated muscles are joined during the same surgery — no separate procedure.
Pregnancy after a tummy tuck is not forbidden, but the order matters: childbirth first, then surgery. Otherwise 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, you must wear it — without the garment recovery is worse, as it supports the tissues and reduces swelling. Around the clock for the first 3–4 weeks, then in the daytime for about one more month. The exact period is set by the operating surgeon.
