What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and restores weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This creates a flatter, tighter, and more toned appearance.
There are different types of tummy tucks available depending on your needs:
- Full abdominoplasty – For excess skin and muscle laxity across the entire abdomen
- Mini tummy tuck – For loose skin below the belly button only
- Lipoabdominoplasty – Combines traditional abdominoplasty with liposuction for contouring
The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic in a fully accredited private hospital. Incisions are placed low on the abdomen—usually hidden below the underwear line—to minimise visible scarring.
Benefits of Tummy
Tuck Surgery
Abdominoplasty offers both functional and aesthetic benefits. Patients often report a significant improvement not only in how they look, but in how they move, feel, and dress day to day.
Benefits include:
- Removal of loose, stretched, or overhanging skin
- Tightening of weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Improved core strength and posture
- Reduction in skin irritation or hygiene issues under the abdominal fold
- Flatter, firmer, and more balanced abdominal contour
- Enhanced comfort in clothing and swimwear
For many, a tummy tuck marks the final step in their body transformation after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Consultation
You’ll meet directly with Mr Manaf Khatib, who will take the time to understand your concerns, lifestyle, and goals. He’ll examine your abdomen, discuss treatment options, and recommend the most suitable technique. You’ll also be informed of expected outcomes, recovery, and risks.
The Procedure
Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anaesthetic in one of our accredited London or Hertfordshire hospitals. The length and extent of the procedure depend on your needs, but most surgeries take between two and three hours. The abdominal muscles are tightened, excess skin and fat are removed, and the skin is carefully re-draped for a natural contour.
Recovery
Most patients stay in hospital for one night, and we recommend at least two weeks off work. You’ll need to wear compression garments for support and avoid strenuous activity for around six weeks. Our team will provide full aftercare instructions and ongoing support during your recovery.
Results
You’ll start to see an improvement in shape and profile within a few weeks, with final results continuing to develop over several months. Scars will fade with time and are placed as discreetly as possible. Most patients report a noticeable improvement in abdominal contour and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be visible scarring after my tummy tuck?
While scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure, Mr Khatib, a highly-regarded plastic surgeon in London, uses meticulous techniques to position incisions as low as possible, usually hidden within the underwear line. Over time, scars fade and become much less noticeable. We also provide scar management advice as part of your follow-up care.
What’s the difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck?
A full tummy tuck addresses loose skin and muscle laxity across the entire abdomen, while a mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the belly button. Our plastic surgery clinic in London offers a detailed personal consults to recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals, ensuring your results look natural and proportional to your body.
Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction, known as a lipoabdominoplasty procedure, for enhanced contouring. Some also choose to combine it with breast lift or augmentation surgery as part of a “mummy makeover.” Mr Khatib will discuss safe combination options during your consultation to create a comprehensive, tailored surgical plan.
How soon after pregnancy or weight loss can I have a tummy tuck?
To prepare for a tummy tuck procedure, you should be at or near your goal weight and allow your body time to stabilise after major changes. Generally, six to twelve months post-pregnancy or significant weight loss is advised. At MK Plastic Surgery in London and Hertfordshire, we ensure your timing is right for the safest and best possible results. Book a plastic surgery consultation today.
