Tummy Tuck Surgery In Ireland

Tummy Tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is a surgical treatment to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen. During a belly tuck, excess skin and fat from the abdomen are removed. Sutures are also used to tighten connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia). To create a more toned look, the remaining skin is then repositioned.

Because only a certain amount of body fat is safe to remove, abdominoplasty should not be viewed as a method for weight loss.

Tummy tuck is for definition and getting rid of excess skin on your belly.

Tummy tuck only removes a limited amount of fat and skin.

The aim of tummy tuck is not weight loss, but rather it is for removing excess skin and improving stretch marks.

Liposuction is a surgery that targets stubborn areas of fat that are under the skin but above the muscles, it usually results in a more defined contour and requires multiple tiny incisions for the suction device to target those areas.

Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, on the other hand is a surgery where areas of the abdomen that are saggy or loose are tightened up via excision and the loose abdominal muscles, which are usually a result of pregnancy or excessive weight gain, are tightened up via threads.

Sometimes some liposuction is required before abdominoplasty, and sometimes, liposuction is required after abdominoplasty, in the case of love handles for example.

And depending on the shape of the tummy, the amount of fat, and skin elasticity, and most importantly, your desired outcomes, your Auralia surgeon can help inform you which surgery is best suited for you.

A partial abdominoplasty, or mini tummy tuck, is similar to an abdominoplasty, but involves shorter incisions and an overall less invasive procedure, which is ideal for patients with fat localised in the lower abdomen. Many patients choose this procedure to benefit from less scarring and shorter recovery times.

Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty)
Limited to fat deposits below the navel.
Less complex procedure (mini tummy tuck).
Usually takes 1 to 2 hours.
Shorter horizontal incision below the navel.
Navel may not be moved.

Complete Tummy Tuck (Complete Abdominoplasty)
Can address fat deposits above and below the navel.
More complex procedure.
Typically takes 2 to 5 hours.
Horizontal incision, above the pubic line, can be extensive.
Second incision made to free the navel.

Panniculectomy and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) are two surgical treatments aimed at removing excess lower belly skin. There are minor differences between them, but they serve pretty much the same purpose.

They may both be performed in cases of weight loss from natural or surgical causes.

During your tummy tuck surgery consultation, your full medical history is examined to make sure you’re an appropriate candidate.

Then you’ll have a body examination, which will allow your doctor to assess the characteristics of your body to decide with type of surgery is best for you and give your personalised recommendation.

During your consultation, you are in the driver’s seat. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. Your doctor will address any concerns you might have so you can be confident about the choice you’re making.

Your Auralia surgeon might also mark your body to identify the target area so you both have a better understanding of what will be done, and where the scars might be.

Usually, a tummy tuck surgery takes between 2 and 5 hours depending on its complexity.

Though tummy tuck surgery is generally very safe, there are always risks to any surgery. Choosing the right clinic and following all pre-and post-operative instructions will greatly reduce the risk of complications. Some potential risks may include:

Bleeding
Infection
Anesthesia complications
Damage to tissues
Poor wound healing
Rippling skin

A tummy tuck is a major procedure, so it’s normal to feel soreness, tightness, and discomfort in the first week, especially when standing upright or moving from sitting to standing. Pain is usually well controlled with medication, and most patients find it improves steadily over the first 7 to 14 days.

A tummy tuck does leave a scar, however, our surgeon will place it low on the abdomen, so it typically sits below underwear or bikini lines. The scar is more noticeable at first, then usually fades over time, although how it heals depends on your skin type and aftercare.

Usually, people can recover from a tummy tuck fairly quickly (1 week on average), but if it’s combined with another procedure it can vary depending on how many incisions were made and how extensive the surgery was.

Patients are encouraged to keep moving when they’ve had a tummy tuck, even if it’s sore. Mobility helps prevent blood clots and will help you recover speedily. Most patients are able to leave the house and return to work after 48 hours.

At Auralia, our aftercare plan is individually tailored to each patient’s procedure and requirements to give them the quickest possible recovery.

We are proud to offer fully comprehensive and inclusive aftercare to all our patients. Our Irish based surgeons are contactable 24 hours a day if you need them, and our professional and highly trained medical team are accessible at all times to assist you with any concerns you might have after your treatment. All patients receive three post-op consultations, but if you feel you need more support, we can facilitate you without any extra cost.
