Popular Tummy Tuck Types At Our Private Hospital

Full Tummy Tuck

Addresses:

Excess skin and fat above and below the belly button, separated or weakened abdominal muscles, and significant contour issues affecting the entire abdomen.

Approach:
A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, typically from hip to hip, positioned low enough to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the belly button is repositioned to maintain a natural appearance.

Best For:

Patients with moderate to severe skin laxity across the entire abdomen, often following multiple pregnancies, significant weight loss, or ageing. This is the most comprehensive option and delivers the most dramatic contour improvement.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Addresses:

Excess skin and fat below the belly button only. Suitable for patients with good skin tone above the navel and minimal or no muscle separation.

Approach:

A shorter horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen. Skin and fat below the belly button are removed and the lower abdomen is tightened. The belly button typically doesn’t need repositioning, and there’s no incision around it.

Best For:

Patients with isolated lower abdominal concerns, often younger patients or those who’ve had one pregnancy and maintained good skin elasticity above the belly button.

Extended Tummy Tuck

Addresses:

Excess skin and fat that extends beyond the abdomen onto the flanks (sides) and lower back. This is common after massive weight loss.

Approach:

Similar to a full tummy tuck, but the incision extends further around the sides and possibly onto the back to remove excess tissue from a larger area. This provides more comprehensive body contouring.

Best For:

Patients who’ve lost significant weight and have excess skin that wraps around their sides and lower back, not just the front of the abdomen.

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

Addresses:

Significant excess skin both horizontally and vertically, typically after massive weight loss. This technique removes tissue in two directions for maximum contouring.

Approach:

Two incisions: one horizontal (like a standard tummy tuck) and one vertical (running up the midline of the abdomen). This allows removal of excess skin and fat in both directions.

Best For:

Patients with severe skin laxity following major weight loss (often [50kg+]), where a standard tummy tuck wouldn’t remove enough excess tissue.

How to Choose the Right Tummy Tuck Type For You?

Male Tummy Tuck FAQs

A tummy tuck for men is designed specifically around male body shape and aesthetic goals. While the surgical principles are similar, male abdominoplasty focuses on creating a flatter, firmer abdomen while preserving a masculine contour. Incisions, muscle repair, and skin removal are planned to suit male anatomy and avoid over-tightening or feminised contours.

Male tummy tuck surgery at Auralia start from €167/month.

Your custom price depends on the type of tummy tuck needed, the complexity and if you are having only a tummy tuck or combining other procedures with it.

We offer flexible plans to suit every budget. Our financing plans makes you able to spread your procedure cost over 36 monthly payments.

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.

Results from a male tummy tuck are generally long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While natural ageing continues, the improvements in abdominal contour and muscle repair are considered permanent.

Most men can return to desk jibs and light daily activities within one to two weeks. Swelling and tightness gradually improve over several weeks, with full recovery and final results continuing to develop over a few months.

Light walking is encouraged early in recovery, but strenuous exercise, weight training, and core workouts should be avoided for at least six weeks. Your surgeon will guide you on when it is safe to gradually return to full activity.

Tummy tuck surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced surgeon in a properly accredited medical facility. A thorough consultation and careful surgical planning help minimise risks and ensure safe outcomes.

As with any surgery, risks may include infection, bleeding, fluid build-up, delayed wound healing, scarring, or changes in sensation. These risks are uncommon and will be discussed in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

A tummy tuck does involve a scar, usually placed low on the abdomen so it can be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Over time, the scar typically fades and becomes less noticeable, especially with proper scar care as advised by your surgeon.

Yes. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles, creating a flatter and more defined midsection. When appropriate, it can be combined with liposuction or to enhance muscle definition and achieve a more athletic-looking result.

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.

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.

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.
