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
After surgery comes a 1–3 day hospital stay under medical supervision. Drains usually come out after two days, and stitches are removed after 7 days. The compression binder is worn for 1.5–2 months — it supports the abdominal wall and helps shape a smooth contour. Most swelling subsides within 30 days; office work resumes after 2–3 weeks. For 2–3 months there is no sport, sauna or heavy lifting; early on, sleep on your back with your knees bent. The scar is fully mature by 12 months, fading until it is 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, a scar is the unavoidable price of removing excess skin. In a classic tummy tuck it runs across the lower abdomen from hip to hip, below the underwear or swimsuit line; in a mini tummy tuck the incision is much shorter. With time, the scar fades and becomes thin.
This is exactly what the surgery is for — the sagging skin and fat apron are removed completely, and stretch marks below the navel go along with them. The surgeon pulls the upper abdominal skin down so the tummy ends up smooth, no extra lift required.
No, a tummy tuck is painless for the patient, because general anaesthesia means nothing is felt during the procedure. In the first days tightness and soreness appear, and painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve them; 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.
The minimum age is 18 and contraindications must be absent. There is no upper limit: every case at our clinic is considered individually, after an examination and health assessment.
The key difference is the scope. A mini tummy tuck handles a small excess of skin below the navel — the incision is shorter, the navel isn't moved and you recover faster. A classic tummy tuck takes away the skin-and-fat apron across the whole abdomen, repositions the navel and permits diastasis repair along the full muscle length.
There are three recovery milestones: back to office work after 2–3 weeks, swelling and tightness gone by 1.5–2 months, and the final result and scar assessed at 6–12 months when the tissues have fully adapted.
No regrowth of removed skin: that part of the result is permanent. The abdomen can stretch again only with significant weight gain, so a stable weight matters. Pregnancy after a tummy tuck is possible, although it stretches the repaired muscles; that's why surgery is 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.
The answer is the same for everyone: the first changes are visible 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. Then there are two checkpoints: 1.5–2 months — an interim result, 6–12 months — 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.
Everyone gets the same list before a tummy tuck: blood and urine tests, a coagulation panel, biochemistry, infection tests, an ECG, chest X-ray, leg vein ultrasound and a GP's report. At the consultation the surgeon gives the exact list; 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.
You can get pregnant after a tummy tuck, but the order matters: childbirth should come first, then surgery. Otherwise, the skin and muscles stretch again and you lose part of the result. Surgeons have one piece of advice: if you plan a child, wait at least a year after the procedure.
Yes, it's required; recovery without the garment is worse, since it supports the tissues and reduces swelling. For 3–4 weeks it is worn around the clock, and then during the day for about another month. The exact period is given by the operating surgeon.
