Feel Balanced, Sculpted and Free
At MK Plastic Surgery Limited, we understand that after major weight loss or pregnancy, the effects on your body can be far-reaching. A standard tummy tuck might not be enough. That’s where a 360 tummy tuck — also known as a circumferential abdominoplasty — can make all the difference. This advanced procedure restores shape, balance and comfort to your entire midsection.
Led by consultant plastic surgeon Mr Manaf Khatib, we perform 360 tummy tucks in London and Hertfordshire, offering highly personalised care and natural results from a surgeon who values ethics, precision and truly devoted support.
What is a 360 Tummy Tuck?
A 360 tummy tuck is an extended version of a standard abdominoplasty. It removes excess skin and fat not just from the front of the abdomen, but all the way around the body — including the sides, lower back, flanks and buttocks. In doing so, it redefines the waistline and reshapes the lower body, particularly for those who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy or skin laxity.
The procedure is also referred to as a circumferential abdominoplasty, belt lipectomy or full tummy tuck. It involves a continuous incision around the lower torso, which allows Mr Khatib to lift and tighten:
- The abdomen
- The flanks and love handles
- The lower back
- The buttocks and outer thighs
This treatment is particularly suited to patients who have lost a large amount of weight and are left with loose, heavy folds of skin that affect comfort, movement and clothing fit. We prioritise minimal scarring by carefully planning incisions along natural skin folds and using advanced surgical techniques to promote discreet, well-healed results.
Benefits of a 360 Abdominoplasty
The results from a circumferential tummy tuck are often life-changing. Benefits include:
- A tighter, smoother torso from front to back
- Improved waistline definition and more balanced proportions
- Removal of uncomfortable skin folds and overhang
- Better mobility and ease of daily movement
- Enhanced posture and core strength if muscle repair is included
- Long-term results when combined with a stable weight
For many patients, this procedure is the final step after major body transformation — restoring both function and confidence.

This is a significant surgical procedure, so it’s important to be both physically and mentally prepared. During your consultation, Mr Khatib will thoroughly assess your needs and medical history to confirm if you’re a good candidate.

Our Process: Personalised Consultation
to Exceptional Results
Consultation
Every journey begins with a personal consultation with Mr Manaf Khatib. He will take the time to understand your concerns, examine your abdominal area and back, and determine whether a 360 procedure is right for you. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and view 360 tummy tuck before-and-after photos from previous patients.
The procedure
Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and typically takes between four and six hours. A circumferential incision is made around the lower torso, through which excess skin and fat are removed, and the lower body is lifted and recontoured. The abdominal muscles can also be repaired if needed, and liposuction may be used to enhance results. Incisions are placed low and strategically along natural contours to heal discreetly, helping you enjoy smoother results with minimal visible marking.
Recovery
Most patients stay in hospital for two to three nights. You’ll wear a compression garment for several weeks to aid healing, minimise swelling and support your new shape. You can expect some discomfort and tightness in the early days, which gradually eases with time. Most people return to light work in two to three weeks, but vigorous activity should be avoided for six weeks.
We provide detailed aftercare advice and ongoing support during your recovery, with regular follow-ups to ensure you’re healing well.
Results
Results are visible immediately but continue to improve as swelling subsides over several months. Scars are placed as low as possible and usually fade well over time. Many patients report a dramatic improvement in body confidence, movement, and the way clothes fit — especially after years of living with loose skin. Scars typically fade well over time and are discreetly placed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a 360 tummy tuck and a standard tummy tuck?
A standard tummy tuck surgery focuses on removing excess skin and tightening muscles at the front of the abdomen only. A 360 tummy tuck, also known as a circumferential abdominoplasty, goes a step further — with our London plastic surgeon removing excess skin and fat from the front, sides, back, and buttocks. It reshapes the entire lower torso and is particularly beneficial for patients who have lost a large amount of weight or have skin laxity around their whole midsection.
How long does recovery take after a 360 tummy tuck?
Recovery takes time, and it’s important to listen to your body. Most patients need 2–3 weeks off work for initial healing, with light walking encouraged soon after surgery. Strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and exercise should be avoided for at least 6 weeks. Full results may take several months to settle. You’ll be provided with a support garment, detailed aftercare instructions, and regular follow-up appointments at our plastic surgery clinic locations in the UK with Mr Khatib to monitor your progress and support your healing journey.
Will I have visible scars after the procedure?
Yes, a scar will run around the lower body, but we take great care to position it as low as possible — typically below underwear or swimwear lines. Over time, the scar usually fades and becomes much less noticeable. Mr Khatib, a leading plastic surgeon in the UK, uses meticulous techniques to encourage optimal healing and discreet results. Scarring also improves with proper aftercare, sun protection, and if needed, topical treatments. For most patients, the physical and emotional benefits far outweigh concerns about scarring.
How long do the results of a 360 tummy tuck last?
The results of a circumferential abdominoplasty are long-lasting, particularly if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Skin and tissues have been physically removed and reshaped, so the improvements are permanent — but they can be affected by future pregnancies or weight changes. Scarring will continue to fade for up to 12–18 months, and regular follow-ups at your plastic surgery clinic in London will ensure your results are settling well. Most patients find the surgery significantly improves their comfort, appearance, and the way clothes fit for years to come.
Can I have a 360 tummy tuck after weight loss surgery (e.g. gastric sleeve or bypass)?
Yes, many patients who undergo a 360 tummy tuck have previously had bariatric surgery. It’s important that your weight has stabilised — ideally for 6–12 months — before considering surgery. This allows your body to adjust and ensures the most accurate and lasting results. Mr Khatib has extensive experience working with post-bariatric patients and will assess your skin condition, overall health and goals to recommend a safe, effective treatment plan that suits your needs.
