What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the stomach area, tightening the abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer tummy. It’s ideal for:
- Loose, sagging skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Weakened abdominal muscles that cause a ‘pouch’ or bulging
- Stubborn belly fat that won’t shift with diet or exercise
- Boosting confidence by restoring a smoother waistline
The procedure reshapes the stomach for a toned and defined midsection.
How the Surgery Works
A tummy tuck is done under general anaesthetic and involves:
- Marking the treatment area to plan the best incision placement.
- Making a low incision along the bikini line for minimal visibility.
- Removing excess skin and fat to sculpt a smoother contour.
- Tightening the abdominal muscles to improve core strength.
- Repositioning the belly button (if needed) for a natural look.
- Closing the incisions with sutures, ensuring minimal scarring.
Liposuction can also be combined with a tummy tuck for even better results.

Potential Risks & Considerations
Like any surgery, there are some risks, including:
- Swelling and bruising, which fade over time.
- Mild discomfort during healing, managed with pain relief.
- Scarring, but the incision is placed low for discreet healing.
Your surgeon will discuss all the details with you before making a decision.
Patient Reviews
I had my recent Fleur de Lis (tummy tuck) on 13th November 2023 at The Pines ,Manchester and I cant fault anything about my surgery, right from the 1st phone call I felt very safe and in excellent hands,Mr Bhatty preformed my surgery and he explained everything the 1st time I saw him and I felt that my body was safe in his hands, very knowledgeable man with a great sense of humour,
Every member of staff was fantastic, any questions were answered straight away, The Pines was extremely clean, staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
From arriving for my surgery I was impressed with everything, food was very nice, tea/coffee came in a pot with jug of milk, cup and saucer, biscuits, if I pressed my buzzer someone came straight away, pain relief was readily available, meds came right on time, I’m so so impressed with my before care, surgery and now my aftercare, everything faultless and if I decided to have another surgery then Transform at The Pines, Manchester is where I would go again, I can’t recommend them enough as I’m overwhelmed at the care and treatment I received and so impressed with the results of my surgery
