Adominoplasty tummy tuck surgery

Best Tummy tuck cosmetic surgeon UK for 2019

February 20, 2020 by Rebecca Giffen Leave a Comment

A tummy tuck, medically referred to as an abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure performed to make the abdomen flatter and firmer. Excess fat and skin are removed from the abdomen area in order to tighten the muscles and tissues of the abdominal area. Tummy tuck procedures are popular with patients following childbirth and weight loss where they have more excess skin than fat which can only be removed surgically not via liposuction alone.

We have a team of some the best tummy tuck surgeons offering patients a full range of tummy tuck procedures including full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, fleur de lis tummy tuck and brazillian tummy tuck.

Mr William Van Nierkerk is an aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 20 years of medical experience. Mr William Van Nierkerk has pioneered the brazillian tummy tuck technique at The Private Clinic.

The brazillian tummy tuck is a combination of liposuction with a tummy tuck and is best suited for patients with more excess skin than fat. Liposuction is used to remove fat from the flanks and waist as well as the abdomen area to give you an overall more sculpted appearance. As the majority of the fat is removed via liposuction there is less risk of complications that are often associated with a full abdominoplasty and many patients do not require an overnight stay.

Mr William Van Nierkerk is available at our London Harley Street clinic.

Mr Fazel frequently performs brazillian tummy tuck procedures (lipoabdominoplasty) with liposuction of the flanks to create an aesthetically pleasing profile.

The Mummy Makeover

July 2, 2019 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

The Mummy Makeover is a popular procedure among women that combines a series of surgical procedures. However they are not always able to be combined in a day case procedure. The Mummy Makeover typically targets abdomen, legs and breast (breast augmentation or breast lift) to give a more defined and contoured figure.

What does a Mommy Makeover consist of?

The Mummy Makeover consists of a combination of a Brazilian Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty which is a surgical procedure that combines liposuction and a tummy tuck. This procedure provides more sculptured results and its ideal for patients who suffer from more excess fat than skin. The Brazilian Tummy Tuck provides faster recovery and healing and has less risk of complications compared to the full abdominoplasty. The Brazilian Tummy Tuck is performed under general anaesthetic and the length of the procedure would depend on the amount of fat and skin required to be removed.

At The Private Clinic, we work with the highly skilled consultant plastic surgeon Mr William Van Niekerk, who specialises in Brazilian Tummy Tuck procedure. You can see his video describing what happens during the procedure on our website.

what is brazilian tummy tuck abdominoplasty

The Mummy Makeover also offers the possibility to combine other popular breast surgery procedures however they do not take place on the same day. They include:

  • Breast augmentation: Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for women in the UK. Breast enlargement consists of the surgical addition of breast implants in order to enhance the size, shape and volume of the breasts. Many women feel they lose volume after breastfeeding and breast enlargement can give you back that feminine shape you feel you have lost.
  • Breast lift: Also known as Mastopexy surgery is a surgical procedure aimed to rejuvenate and uplift the breasts. This procedure provides a more lifted appearance retaining the volume and size of the breast.
  • Breast reduction: This procedure is to reduce the size and reposition the breasts. Breast reductions are recommended for patients who suffer from sagging, heavy or large breasts. The results are more lifted lighter and youthful looking breasts.
  • Vaser Liposuction is a surgical procedure for contouring and shaping of the body. It’s performed under local anaesthetic with sedation and is ideal to target stubborn fat around the hips, outer thighs, back and tummy. If you are interested in a Brazilian tummy tuck, liposuction around the torso can take place within the operation.

The Mummy Makeover is particularly popular among women who after their pregnancies want to re-shape their bodies. The Mummy Makeover is also popular for patients who are looking to reduce the sagging, excess skin and fat around the abdomen and achieve a more sculpted and contoured look.

At The Private Clinic, we tailor each procedure to every patient’s needs and goals. We work with a team of highly experienced doctors with years of experience in their field. If you are considering a Mummy Makeover, during your consultation our expert doctors will be able to assess and determine how many procedures you will require and can advise when is the best time to have the operation.

10 Facts about tummy tucks

December 13, 2018 by Julia Morgan Leave a Comment

After losing a lot of weight, after a pregnancy or due to genetics, the skin around the abdominal area can become loose and drop due to the loss of elasticity. As a result, this can cause confidence issues but can be resolved by undergoing a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty.

A tummy tuck also is known as abdominoplasty, is a procedure that consists of removing the excess skin from the abdominal area of the body to then flatten and tighten it.

In this blog post, we will be covering 10 facts about tummy tuck as well as the different types of tummy tucks available.

  1. There are different types of tummy tucks.

There are different types of tummy tucks that can be performed depending on the amount of excess skin and fat that needs to be removed from the treatment area:

  • Full Abdominoplasty– This is the traditional tummy tuck ideal for patients who need a lot of skin and fat to be removed. This procedure not only removes the excess skin and fat but also can repair the torn muscles on the affected area.
  • Extended Abdominoplasty– This technique is recommended for patients who want to remove excess fat and skin from their lower back, flanks or upper hip areas. This technique can also repair the torn muscles if required.
  • Mini Abdominoplasty– This type of tummy tuck is indicated for patients who have a small amount of excess skin on the area between the belly button and the pubic region and the skin has a crinkly appearance. This procedure tightens the area and repairs the torn muscles when necessary.
  • Brazilian Tummy Tuck– This type of tummy tuck is for those patients whose primary concern is their excess skin rather than the fat. This procedure combines, tummy tuck and liposuction to remove the excess fat around the waist, flanks and abdomen to achieve a more contoured look. The benefit of including the liposuction is that the healing process and the complications are reduced compared to a full abdominoplasty.
  1. The scar will fade away.

Many patients are concerned about the scar after their tummy tuck.

The scar resulting from a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty fades away over time, usually takes around a year to fade. The first few months the redness will be apparent however this will reduced as the days go by. Your surgeon will also recommend you some creams to further reduce the visibility and redness of the scar.

You can see some images of one of our patient at The Private Clinic, Stella who underwent a tummy tuck and achieved fabulous results.

  1. The recovery from an Abdominoplasty procedure will take a few weeks.

The downtime required after a tummy tuck procedure is around three weeks.

After the surgery, you will be required to stay overnight at the hospital to ensure there are no complications.

Once you have been discharged from the hospital, to maintain the abdominal area straight, you will be required to wear for two weeks an abdominal support garment and will be advised to take painkillers to mitigate any pain.

  1. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure.

Tummy tucks are a procedure to remove the excess skin after losing a lot of weight, after pregnancy or due to ageing to achieve a flatter and firmer abdomen.

Before you undergo an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, at The Private Clinic, we recommend you achieving your ideal weight as any changes in weight can affect the results and will require additional surgery to rectify the results. If you are thinking about getting pregnant after a tummy tuck you need to be aware that the skin might stretch again and you will require a revision surgery to recover the lost results.

  1. Men undergo tummy tucks too.

Tummy tucks are a popular procedure among women due to pregnancies, however many men undergo this procedure too to remove the excess skin after losing a large amount of weight and repair the torn muscles.

  1. Tummy Tucks can be performed under local or general anaesthetic.

The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure is typically done under general anaesthetic. However, the procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic with sedation depending on the procedure and the patient. You can consult this with your surgeon.

  1. The C-Tuck.

The “C tuck” is a procedure where a tummy tuck is undergone after a C-section.

The “C-tuck” is a procedure that is not recommended to any patients as it’s preferred that the patient rests and heals before undergoing any other surgical procedure.

The muscles after a pregnancy are stretched and in order to achieve the best results from a tummy tuck, the muscles must be contracted back down. This is the reason why it is recommended waiting around a year before undergoing a tummy tuck and be at the best possible health condition before the procedure.

  1. Recovery from a tummy tuck procedure.

The recovery from a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty requires around 3 weeks.

You can expect the following aftercare after undergoing a tummy tuck procedure:

  • Wear an abdominal support garment for 2 weeks.
  • Take antibiotics and pain medication for 2 weeks after the procedure.
  • Swelling around the treated area. We recommend using a cold compress to reduce the swelling. Always consult your doctor before this to ensure there is no problem to do so.

Always follow your doctor’s recommendations for aftercare and ensure you attend the follow-up consultations.

  1. A tummy tuck can remove love handles.

Standard tummy tucks do not target the love handles; however, an extended tummy tuck can remove the fat around that area. If you are looking into just removing the fat and you do not have excess skin, VaserLipo or liposuction would be a better option.

The Tummy Tuck

October 1, 2018 by Steffanie Griffiths Leave a Comment

Tummy Tuck’s are a phenomenal procedure which can transform the look of your stomach. Excess, sagging skin and fat is removed to leave a firmer and flatter abdomen (stomach) and tighten and repair muscles if required. And when performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, you can achieve truly outstanding results.

Mini Tummy Tuck Before and After Pictures UK

As well as the standard tummy tuck, a highly reputable clinic should offer a spectrum of tummy tuck procedures, including the mini, extended and Brazilian Tummy Tuck. This means that you can be advised the best procedure for your particular needs. And each tummy tuck treatment should be tailored to you for best results.

To provide more detail on the Mini Tummy Tuck, the popular procedure is suited to patients with minimal excess skin between the stomach button and pubic area, rather than the whole stomach area (as is the case with the standard tummy tuck).

Please see some examples of the mini tummy tuck procedure below:

Tummy Tuck Reviews / Testimonials

As well as seeing before and after photos, patient reviews and testimonials can be highly useful to inform what you can expect with a tummy tuck procedure. See below the stories of our Tummy Tuck patients, Barbara, Marie and Stella and see our tummy tuck website for more patient stories and reviews:

Meet Barbara

“The initial feeling is unreal”

“I am now more comfortable of my own skin.”

Our tummy tuck patient, Barbara, had sagging abdominal skin, a C-section scar and substantial diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles) after pregnancy, leaving her with an unwanted abdominal bulge that she was unhappy with.

Tired with carrying the excess skin, she decided to choose abdominoplasty to remove the skin as well as repair the muscles. Thrilled with the results, Barbara now feels so much more confident in her body, and that she no longer needs to hide her abdomen.

Meet Marie

“I am thoroughly enjoying my new flat-tummied life.”

With losing significant weight, Marie’s stomach had lost elasticity, and she was left with excess skin on her stomach. After deliberation, Marie eventually decided to choose a tummy tuck with big motivators being the ability to freely choose clothes she wanted and being able to ditch her support pants. Post-surgery, Marie is thrilled with her results. She is overwhelmed by how clothes are now fitting her, and excited to be able to now exercise ‘without being held back’ by her stomach.

Meet Stella

“The procedure was absolutely nowhere near as scary or painful than I imagined it would be; the surgery is so advanced, I had no drain fitted and certainly no complications.”

After loosing a significant amount of weight, Stella was still feeling unhappy with the appearance of her body. Loose skin was left around her stomach which is a very common problem for those who lose a dramatic amount of weight. Stella decided to have a tummy tuck to allow her to finally feel happy with what she had been able to achieve and finally wore a bikini for the first time in her life.

How to choose the best tummy tuck surgeon UK

August 25, 2018 by Steffanie Griffiths Leave a Comment

Choosing a tummy tuck/ abdominoplasty surgeon is not an easy task and a crucial decision to make. You want to find a surgeon who will recommend and deliver the best and most safest results for you. Choosing the right surgeon will allow you to have peace of mind and you should expect to be supported with excellent service, care and aftercare during your journey.

We’re here to give you some advice on choosing the best abdominoplasty /tummy tuck surgeon for you, including important areas to check and research.

1. Check Before and after photos: Before and after photos can give you an idea of the tummy tuck outcome you can expect with that surgeon or clinic. Take a look at scarring and the effectiveness of results. Although, every patient is different, it can be useful to see ‘before pictures’ similar to your own body and the outcome achieved. These may be available on the clinic website or online sources such as RealSelf. Your surgeon should also show you patient results during your consultation.

2. What range of tummy tuck surgeries are available? As well as the standard/ full tummy tuck procedure which is best for patients with significant excess skin there are also a variety of other techniques available too. Be sure to check that the clinic or surgeon offers a range of tummy tuck types, addressing different needs. It may be that you are more suited to a variation of the standard procedure, and this can be advised by and offered by surgeons with a range of abdominoplasty options.

Please see below examples of different tummy tuck options:

  • Mini Tummy Tuck: Best for patients with a small amount of tissue between the tummy button and the area above your pubic region.
  • Extended Tummy Tuck: Best for patients with excess skin and fat in the lower back, flank and upper hip regions.
  • Brazilian Tummy Tuck: Combines a tummy tuck with liposuction, best for those with more excess skin than fat.
  • Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck: This procedure targets excess skin from both the upper and the lower abdomen. The skin is pulled downward  and inwards towards the centre of your abdomen resulting in a smooth and flat tummy.

3. Tummy tuck experience: Tummy tuck surgery requires significant experience and training in order to ensure a successful and safe outcome. It is important for you to check the years of experience that surgeons have in performing tummy tuck procedures as well as how frequently they perform the surgery. It is also helpful to select a surgeon with experience to perform various different types of abdominoplasty as that way you will know that you are receiving the right type of procedure.

4. Surgeons certification and training: Check for board membership of leading professional bodies for reconstructive and plastic surgery such as The British Association of Plastic Reconstructive Surgeons (BAPRAS)and The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS). Board certification means your cosmetic surgeon has undergone formal relevant medical training.

5. Read patient testimonials and watch patient stories: Patient reviews provide a more realistic, first-hand insight of the experience you could expect with each clinic, and are an important part of your research. You may find patient reviews, testimonials and videos on the clinic website and sources such as TrustPilot and Google Reviews.

6. Care and Aftercare Provided:  The clinic’s approach to care and aftercare directly affects your safety, comfort and support throughout your surgical journey, so it is important to find out what is included. Would you be assigned a patient advisor who can support you throughout your journey? Is there is an emergency helpline you can contact? How many follow up sessions are provided post-procedure? Patient reviews can also give you a strong insight into the care and aftercare provided by surgeons and their clinics.

7. Are surgeon consultations compulsory?: All well respected surgeons and clinics should have a prerequisite of a minimum of one face-to-face consultation before your procedure. At least one consultation should be with the tummy tuck surgeon who will be performing your procedure, and not only a practitioner or patient advisor. A plastic surgeon is able to undertake a medical assessment, and issue a medical opinion of the best possible options for you.

8. Evaluate your surgeon consultation: Ultimately, you cannot make your final decision on your surgeon until you have had your consultation, after which you should ask yourself:

  • Did I develop a good rapport with the surgeon?
  • Would I be comfortable asking the surgical team any queries I have during the process?
  • Am I confident in the surgeon’s ability to perform my tummy tuck surgery?
  • Am I pleased with the recommendations suggested by the surgeon?
  • Is my surgical plan being tailored to my individual requirements?
