About
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing, which often lead to sagging skin, weakened abdominal muscles and a less toned appearance. The result is a smoother, flatter stomach and a more defined waistline.
At Leeds Private Hospital, we offer customised tummy tuck procedures to meet your unique needs. Depending on your specific concerns and the degree of correction required, your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate technique during your consultation.
We understand the importance of feeling confident in your body.
Our expert surgeons are committed to providing personalised care with exceptional results. Whether you’re looking to regain a toned appearance or improve body contouring, we’ll guide you through every step with the highest standards of care.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures
We provide different types of tummy tuck surgeries to address your individual needs. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable procedure based on your goals and the extent of the changes you want to achieve.
Full Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
The full tummy tuck is the most comprehensive approach. It involves an incision that runs along the lower abdomen, usually from hip to hip, which allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat. The abdominal muscles are also tightened, and the belly button is repositioned. This procedure is ideal for those with significant skin laxity and muscle separation.
Mini Tummy Tuck (Partial Abdominoplasty)
A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen and is suitable for patients with minimal excess skin or fat. The incision is smaller, and only the lower part of the abdomen is treated. There’s no need for the repositioning of the belly button, and the recovery time is often quicker compared to a full tummy tuck.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck is designed for patients who have significant excess skin, particularly after weight loss. This procedure addresses the entire abdominal area, including the flanks and back, by extending the incision to remove more skin.
The procedure provides a more extensive body contour and can be ideal for those who need a larger area of correction.
Tummy Tuck with Liposuction
Sometimes, tummy tuck surgery is combined with liposuction to remove additional fat from the abdominal area or surrounding regions like the flanks and thighs.
This combination can result in a more sculpted, toned appearance and enhance the results of your tummy tuck.

What to Expect
Consultation and Planning
During your initial consultation, your surgeon will assess your abdominal area, discuss your goals, and decide on the most suitable surgical approach. You will be fully informed about the procedure, recovery, and any potential risks.
Anaesthesia
Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure that you are completely comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Sedation may be offered in certain cases.
Incision and Skin Removal
The surgeon will make a carefully planned incision along the lower abdomen (usually just above the pubic area). The incision length depends on the extent of the surgery, and excess skin and fat will be removed. The abdominal muscles will also be tightened.
Muscle Repair and Skin Tightening
If necessary, the surgeon will repair and tighten the abdominal muscles to restore a flatter, more toned appearance. The remaining skin will then be stretched and repositioned to smooth out any imperfections. In some cases, the belly button will be repositioned to create a more natural look.
Closure
After the procedure is complete, the incision is closed using fine sutures. Drains may be inserted temporarily to assist with fluid drainage and promote a smooth recovery process.
Recovery
You will be monitored in our recovery area and can typically go home the same day or the following day. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, and follow-up appointments will be scheduled to ensure a smooth healing process.
