12 WeeksBenefits of a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about reclaiming control over your body, your posture, and your confidence. Patients from across London choose CREO Clinic for abdominoplasty because of its medical and cosmetic benefits:
- Improved Quality of Life – Feel more confident, more mobile, and more motivated to lead an active, healthy lifestyle. And you can have a tummy tuck even after the age of 50.
- Flatter, Firmer Stomach – Enjoy a smoother midsection that fits better in clothes — and feels better.
- Post-Pregnancy Restoration – Remove the excess skin and stretched belly caused by pregnancy or C-sections, restoring a youthful, pre-baby silhouette.
- Muscle Repair & Core Strength – Correct abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), often responsible for core weakness, back pain, and posture problems.
- Stretch Mark Reduction – Eliminate stretch marks on the lower abdomen by surgically removing affected skin during the procedure.
Our APEX Recovery System for Faster Healing
Every procedure our surgeons perform comes with Creo Clinic’s APEX Recovery System – a unique recovery protocol built and refined on years of specialised expertise.
This three-stage system combines pre-surgical optimisation, advanced anaesthetic techniques, and a post-operative strategy designed to eliminate the need for morphine.
These treatments are thoughtfully integrated into every step of your plan, ensuring your recovery is supported, refined, and medically guided. We don’t make any compromises when it comes to care … and you shouldn’t either.
A Tummy Tuck Could Be Right For You If..
During your consultation, we’ll assess your goals, health, and body to see if abdominoplasty is the right choice for you.
You’re likely a good candidate if you:
- Are finished having children, to maintain long-term results
- Are in good overall health
- Have a stable weight (ideally with a BMI under 30)
- Struggle with loose skin or weakened muscles from weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing
- Are a non-smoker (or willing to quit temporarily)
A tummy tuck can reshape your body — but it’s not a weight-loss procedure. For the best outcome, you should be close to your ideal weight before surgery.
Tummy Tuck Options Tailored to Your Body
We offer several types of tummy tucks at CREO Clinic, each designed to address different body shapes, skin laxity, and muscle concerns. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
- Full Tummy Tuck: Addresses excess skin and muscle separation across the upper and lower abdomen. Involves incisions along the bikini line and around the belly button for full contouring and core repair.
- Mini Tummy Tuck: Ideal for mild skin laxity below the belly button. This less invasive procedure uses a single incision along the bikini line and does not involve muscle tightening.
- Extended Abdominoplasty: Targets the abdomen and flanks (love handles) for a more dramatic reshaping. Includes longer incisions to remove more skin and repair abdominal muscles.
- Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck: Designed for patients with significant excess skin after major weight loss. Combines a horizontal and vertical incision to tighten the full midsection from all angles.
- Hourglass Tummy Tuck: Combines a traditional tummy tuck with fat transfer to the hips to enhance the curvature of the body and achieve a highly sought-after hourglass figure.
- Brazilian Tummy Tuck (Lipoabdominoplasty): Combines liposuction with a standard tummy tuck to remove fat and skin simultaneously, enhancing definition and sculpting the waistline.
You can also read about the procedure known as reverse tummy tuck here. However, whichever approach you choose, our goal is the same: safe, natural-looking results that restore both your shape and your confidence.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Tummy Tuck
Getting the best results starts with proper preparation. Here’s what to know:
Before Surgery:
✅ Maintain a healthy BMI (our in-house dietitian can help)
✅ Arrange home support for the first few days
✅ Practise sleeping on your back — you’ll need to do this post-op
Recovery Timeline:
- 1–2 weeks: Light daily activities, return to work
- 3–4 weeks: Gentle exercise, reduced swelling
- 12 weeks: Full recovery, including high-impact workouts
Healing & Results:
- Swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal in the early weeks
- Lymphatic drainage massages and scar care are included
- Final results become visible over 6–12 months, and are built to last
A little planning goes a long way. We’ll guide you through the midsection as well as excess skin. A Brazilian tummy tuck permanently removes these targeted pockets of fat, enhancing the definition of the abdomen.

Tummy Tuck FAQs
How long do tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) results last?
The results of a tummy tuck, or full abdominoplasty, are permanent in that patients won’t regain the skin laxity or excess fat that was surgically removed. However, patients must avoid further fluctuations in weight through a healthy diet and exercise routine in order to maintain results. Furthermore, patients will likely develop some skin laxity in the area due to the natural ageing process.
Can stomach fat come back after a tummy tuck surgery?
Although some small weight fluctuations (5-10kg) after tummy tuck surgery shouldn’t affect your final results, gaining a lot of weight can cause you to develop fat deposits in the abdomen as well as lax skin.Â
Many patients choose to combine their tummy tuck with liposuction to permanently remove fat cells from the treatment area. If you gain weight after surgery, you won’t redevelop fat cells in the area.
How much weight do you lose after a tummy tuck surgery?
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss surgery. However, you can lose a small amount of weight as the excess skin is removed from the body. Typically, this is up to 4.5kg.Â
What are the risks of a tummy tuck?
Like any cosmetic procedure, a tummy tuck comes with some degree of risk of complications, such as a visible abdominoplasty scar, wound breakdown and delayed healing. The possible risks and side effects of a tummy tuck will be discussed with you during your consultation at CREO Clinic.
Will I have visible scars?
The extent of your scarring from a tummy tuck will depend on the invasiveness of the surgical techniques required. Scarring around the pelvic area can range from 4 inches for a mini tummy tuck to hip to hip for an extended version. However, these scars can typically be covered by undergarments. In addition, scarring around the belly button is usually covered by the natural contours of the body.Â
The most important factor to minimise scarring is to find a qualified and skilled surgeon who is able to competently create the incisions, manipulate the skin and close the sutures. Finally, ensure you follow all aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and manage scarring during the recovery process.
How should I sleep after surgery?
After your tummy tuck in London, it is recommended that you sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated to avoid pressure on your incision. Use pillows for support and wear your compression garment as directed.
