Tummy Tuck Before and After: Results, Scars and Risks

Tummy tuck before-and-after photographs can illustrate possible changes in selected patients, but the result depends on anatomy, procedure, healing, timing, posture and photography. They are not a guarantee.

What abdominoplasty involves

A tummy tuck may remove selected excess abdominal skin and fat and repair muscle separation when indicated. Variants differ in incision length and treatment area. Liposuction may be considered separately or in combination after individual risk assessment.

Risks and recovery

Possible complications include bleeding, infection, wound breakdown, seroma, permanent scarring, altered sensation, asymmetry, skin loss, blood clots, anaesthetic complications and revision. Drain use, garments, mobility, work, driving and exercise instructions differ between patients.

“The tummy tuck was life-changing for me. I had struggled with excess skin and a protruding abdomen for years, and this surgery gave me the body I had always wanted. I feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin now.”
