What Is Tummy Tuck And Is It
The Same As Abdominoplasty?
A tummy tuck procedure is needed when the waistline expands excessively, when excess skin causes the back to droop severely, or when the skin can’t stretch over the muscles.
Abdominoplasty in Sydney is so popular because of its effectiveness in reducing excess fat, firming loose skin, and tightening the abdominal muscles to create that flatter, slimmer appearance in the abdominal area.
Also known as Abdominoplasty, this cosmetic surgery treats hernia, back pain, stretch marks, muscle separation, and urinary incontinence. Sydney patients with massive weight loss or BMI below 30 are ideal candidates.
Cosmetic technological advancements have created excellent body contouring procedures with the least scarring which patients can pair with other surgery procedures, like breast reduction and mummy makeover.
During the procedure, cosmetic surgeons make incisions below the bikini line (pubic area or abdominal region) or above the belly button, to hide the scars out of sight.
Health Benefits of a
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgeries have numerous benefits, exceeding just aesthetics, including enhanced body posture, reduced back pain, ventral hernia correction, strengthened abdominal muscles that support the abdominal walls, and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) alleviation.
Types of Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is comprised of two treatment types: mini-abdominoplasty and full abdominoplasty.
Partial Abdominoplasty
A mini tummy tuck or mini abdominoplasty concentrates primarily on the lower abdomen, below the midsection, removing extra abdominal skin from the region. It then tightens the lower abdominal muscles.
Full Abdominoplasty
This procedure centres on the entire abdominal area. It is also commonly referred to as the full tummy tuck. Its treatment areas include:
- Lower abdomen
- Upper abdomen
- Midsection (the umbilicus)
With this cosmetic surgery, you can tighten the once weakened rectus muscles and get rid of loose skin.
How Abdominoplasty Works
To commence treatment, a cosmetic surgeon administers general anaesthetic. The specialist then creates incisions in the abdominal region to access the loose skin and fatty tissues. This exposes the separated or stretched rectus muscle tissues.
The surgeon stitches them to increase firmness, remove the excess fat, and trim the loose skin. For a full tummy tuck, the surgeon repositions the navel before closing it with permanent or absorbable sutures (Vicryl, Monocryl, and PDS sutures).
For safe and effective treatment, ensure that the clinic is accredited and licensed, and surgery performed by a certified surgeon, with a registered anaesthetist available to treat potential negative reactions to the anaesthesia. A tummy tuck takes, at most, three hours.

FAQs
For all the unanswered questions, visit this section.
Is it possible to combine Abdominoplasty with Other Procedures in Sydney?
Yes, you can undergo other surgery procedures alongside abdominoplasty including liposuction, body lift, or breast augmentation (breast lift or breast reduction).
Will the Absorbable Sutures Dissolve?
Yes. Depending on the type used, the maximum time frame to expect is 238 days. Additionally, 98% of the biodegradable material is absorbed into the body.
Does Health Insurance Cover My Treatment?
A small medicare rebate from your private health insurance covers part of the fees. However, it has to be a medically based treatment.
The amount of health fund coverage depends on the type of health insurance policy you have. For costs not within the coverage, you would have to pay from your pockets.
Am I Guaranteed A New Belly Button During Treatment?
The answer depends on who performs the procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon may remove the skin around the navel, leaving its base, before replacing it with a new one.
What Should I Do Before and After Treatment?
Before undergoing treatment, avoid specific supplements, medications, and unhealthy substances (including nicotine); stick to healthy meals. Prepare a recovery area for the post-treatment phase as well.
After treatment, wear a compression garment for at least two weeks to prevent deep vein thrombosis and avoid any strenuous activity for a month. If side effects, like severe pain and bleeding, occur, contact your doctor. Follow all post-treatment instructions.
