Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty (also referred to as a “tummy tuck”), is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from your lower abdomen. The procedure aims to improve the appearance, definition and firmness of your abdomen. In some instances, abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction where necessary.
The abdomen goes through a myriad of changes associated with weight gain and loss. Such weight loss is experienced by all genders and especially by women after pregnancy.
As a result, some people feel their abdomen is not as good as it once was. An abdominoplasty can help to address these concerns.
Abdominoplasty is available at our Bolton, Blackburn and West Yorkshire locations.

About Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. This is to ensure optimal patient comfort during the procedure. The surgery involves the removal of excess tissue (skin and fat) from the abdomen and reshaping to create a more youthful appearance.
In some instances, abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction where necessary.
There are many types of abdominoplasty surgery: Mini, full and fleur de lys.
