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, it will not help you lose weight. Its goal is different: to remove excess stretched skin and the fat apron and restore the abdominal muscle wall. Surgery is done at a stable weight; if your weight is still changing, first see a dietitian or endocrinologist.
Yes, there will be a scar: it's the unavoidable price of removing excess skin. For a classic tummy tuck the incision runs hip to hip across the lower abdomen, hidden below the underwear or swimsuit line, and for a mini tummy tuck it is much shorter. Over time the scar fades and grows thin.
Exactly this is what the surgery does: sagging skin and the fat apron are removed completely, and stretch marks below the navel disappear with them. The surgeon brings the upper abdominal skin downward, so the tummy is smooth without an extra lift.
No, the procedure itself doesn't hurt — a tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthesia, so you feel nothing. Tightness and soreness appear over the first days and are relieved with the painkillers your doctor prescribes; by the end of the first week the discomfort noticeably eases.
Everyone follows the same restrictions after a tummy tuck. The first 2–3 weeks — no exertion, heavy lifting or sudden movements. At least one month — no sauna, steam bath, pool, tanning beds, alcohol or smoking. Sport returns gradually and only if the surgeon approves. Compression garments — another 4–8 weeks.
The minimum age is 18, and only without contraindications. There is no upper limit at all: at our clinic each case is considered individually, after an examination and 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.
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.
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 a must. Stop smoking, drinking alcohol and taking medicines that affect blood clotting 7–10 days before a tummy tuck. The pre-surgery check-up covers blood tests, ECG, leg vein ultrasound and consultations with a GP and anaesthetist. Get it done in advance, not the day before.
The answer is identical for all: first changes can be seen 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. There are then two checkpoints — interim result at 1.5–2 months and final contours at 6–12 months.
Yes, a hospital stay is needed: after a classic tummy tuck, 1–3 days under medical supervision; after a mini tummy tuck, one day is usually enough. Recovery continues at home, and the surgeon monitors it at scheduled check-ups.
Everyone has the same tests before a tummy tuck: blood and urine tests, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray, leg vein ultrasound and a GP's report. The surgeon gives you the exact list at the consultation; results 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 is not prohibited, yet the sequence matters: childbirth first, surgery second. Otherwise skin and muscles stretch once more and part of the result is lost. Surgeons advise one thing: planning 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.
