An abdominoplasty, also commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck”, is a cosmetic operation that helps to rejuvenate the entire abdominal area if the patient is unhappy with excess skin and/or fat. This is a popular procedure, particularly following significant weight loss or child birth. Abdominoplasty surgery can be combined with breast rejuvenation and the combination of these two procedures is often known as a mummy makeover. Abdominoplasty surgery, or tummy tuck surgery, is different to liposuction, in that liposuction only removes excess fat. However, when you opt for an abdominoplasty, excess skin can also be removed. Following your initial consultation in Manchester, a tummy tuck surgeon will be able to advise on the best procedures depending on your needs and expectations.
