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.
Recovering after a tummy tuck
Immediately after surgery the patient stays in hospital for 1–3 days, supervised by doctors. Drains are usually removed after two days, stitches after 7 days. For 1.5–2 months you wear a compression binder that supports the abdominal wall and forms a smooth contour. Most of the swelling goes within 30 days; office work is possible after 2–3 weeks. No sports, sauna or heavy lifting for 2–3 months, and in the beginning it is best to sleep on your back with knees bent. At 12 months the scar is fully mature, faded and 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, a scar remains — the unavoidable price of excess skin removal. In the classic tummy tuck, the incision goes across the lower abdomen from hip to hip and lies below the underwear or swimsuit line; in the mini tummy tuck it's much shorter. The scar becomes thin and fades over time.
That is exactly the purpose of the surgery: sagging skin and the fat apron are removed entirely, along with stretch marks below the navel. The upper abdominal skin is pulled downward by the surgeon, leaving a smooth tummy with no extra lift needed.
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.
Everyone has the same restrictions after a tummy tuck: for the first 2–3 weeks, no physical exertion, heavy lifting or sudden movements, and for at least a month, no sauna, steam bath, pool, tanning beds, alcohol or smoking. Sport comes back gradually and only with the surgeon's approval. Compression garments are worn for another 4–8 weeks.
The lowest age is 18, provided there are no contraindications. There's no upper limit whatsoever: each case at our clinic is reviewed individually following an examination and health assessment.
The difference lies in how extensive the surgery is. A mini tummy tuck is done when there is a small excess of skin below the navel: shorter incision, no moving of the navel, faster recovery. The classic one removes the skin-and-fat apron over the whole abdomen, includes moving the navel and allows repair of diastasis 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.
The skin that was removed won't grow back — that part of the result is permanent. Only significant weight gain will stretch the abdomen again, so it's important to keep a stable weight. Pregnancy after a tummy tuck is possible but stretches the repaired muscles, so surgery is planned when your family is complete.
Yes, preparation is required: 7–10 days before a tummy tuck, stop smoking, alcohol and medicines that affect blood clotting, and have a pre-surgery check-up — blood tests, ECG, leg vein ultrasound, GP and anaesthetist consultations. Complete it in advance, not the day before.
It is the same for everyone. When the main swelling subsides, 2 weeks after surgery, the first changes are visible; then there are two checkpoints, 1.5–2 months for an interim result and 6–12 months for the final contours.
Yes, a hospital stay is necessary. After a classic tummy tuck you spend 1–3 days under medical supervision; after a mini tummy tuck one day is usually sufficient. Then recovery continues at home, and the surgeon monitors it at scheduled check-ups.
Before a tummy tuck all patients have the same list: blood and urine tests, a coagulation panel, biochemistry, infection testing, ECG, chest X-ray, leg vein ultrasound and a GP's report. The surgeon names the exact list at the consultation; tests are usually valid for 10–14 days.
No, not everyone needs a repair — it is done only when the rectus abdominis muscles are actually separated. The surgeon sees diastasis at the examination and, if in doubt, confirms it by ultrasound. The separated muscles are brought together during the same surgery, with no separate procedure needed.
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 is required. Without the garment recovery is worse; it supports the tissues and reduces swelling. For the first 3–4 weeks you wear it around the clock, and then during the day for about another month. The operating surgeon names the exact period.
