Tummy Tuck in Manchester

Have you struggled with loose skin or stubborn fat around your stomach that just won’t shift — even with a healthy diet and regular exercise? At Manchester Private Hospital, we offer expertly performed tummy tuck surgery in Manchester to help you achieve a smoother, more sculpted midsection.

Our tummy tuck expert surgeon team is dedicated to delivering results that look natural and feel transformative, all within our modern and discreet clinic in the heart of Manchester.

A tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tighten weakened or separated muscles. This is a highly effective option for people who’ve experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging — all of which can affect the shape and firmness of the stomach.

At Manchester Private Hospital, we offer several types of tummy tucks to suit your unique needs, whether it’s a small pouch of excess skin or more dramatic sagging across the entire abdomen. Our approach to abdominoplasty in Manchester is tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring both physical comfort and aesthetic enhancement.

There are many reasons why people opt to have a tummy tuck. Sometimes it can be just one reason, and sometimes multiple.

If a person has recently lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise, it can often leave loose skin on or around the abdomen. This can leave people feeling unhappy and self conscious, especially when it comes to wearing particular items of clothing, such as bikini or sports bras.

Some of the reasons why patients opt for abdominoplasty include:

• To remove loose skin after weight loss / childbirth
• To tighten muscles / skin after pregnancy
• To correct abdominal scarring from injury, surgery or illness
• To remove stretch marks
• To flatten the abdomen
• To remove stubborn fat / skin that cannot be removed through diet or exercise
• To correct weak muscles and improve posture

A tummy tuck is not a procedure designed to replace weight loss treatments / programmes. It will also not stop you from putting weight on in the future.

It is important that you speak with your surgeon during a consultation and outline your desired goals. Your consultant will then be able to advise on what can realistically be achieved and tell you whether or not you are an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck.

At Manchester Private Hospital, we understand that no two bodies are the same — which is why we offer a variety of tummy tuck procedures tailored to meet different needs and goals. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or a more extensive transformation, our experienced surgeons will help you choose the right approach for your body.

• Full Tummy Tuck: This classic approach is best suited for individuals with significant loose skin and muscle laxity across the entire abdominal area. It provides a complete tightening and smoothing of the midsection.
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Ideal for those with minor skin laxity or bulging below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen with a shorter incision and quicker recovery.
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Often chosen by patients after major weight loss, this procedure removes excess skin from both the stomach and the sides (flanks), delivering more dramatic contouring results.
• Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck: For patients with a large amount of loose skin, particularly after bariatric surgery or substantial weight loss, the Fleur De Lis tummy tuck tightens the abdomen both vertically and horizontally — offering enhanced definition and shape.

No matter which procedure suits you best, our team is here to guide you through the decision with personalized advice and a focus on safety, comfort, and natural-looking results.

Once you’ve decided to go ahead, your tummy tuck procedure in Manchester begins with a detailed pre-operative consultation.
On the day of surgery:

• You’ll be under general anaesthetic
• Incisions are made carefully, typically hidden along the bikini line
• Excess skin and fat are removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened
• Skin is redraped for a smoother, firmer finish

The surgery usually takes 2–3 hours depending on the complexity, with many patients returning home the same day or after an overnight stay.

We take pride in the results we achieve. Our before and after photos speak volumes about the difference a tummy tuck can make — not just to your body, but to your confidence and quality of life.

When the body goes through a traumatic event or drastic change, such as pregnancy and weight loss, it can leave behind an undesired appearance.

This can have a knock on effect on self confidence and make people feel more self conscious towards what their stomach looks like.

A tummy tuck can help boost self confidence and eliminate the issues causing you to be self conscious, such as stretch marks, loose / baggy skin, sagging muscles / fat.

There are many advantages to having a tummy tuck either on its own as a single procedure or in combination with other procedures. These include:

• Flattening the abdomen
• Removing excess skin and fat
• Tightening abdominal muscles
• Removing large, deep or visible stretch marks
• Sometimes a tummy tuck is performed in combination with another procedure to achieve desired results. common procedures include:
• Breast surgery, including uplift, reduction, augmentation
• Liposuction and body contouring

When meeting with your consultant, is it important to outline and understand what you want from your surgery to ensure that you are opting for the correct procedure. There are some common misconceptions that some people think a tummy tuck alone can achieve, such as losing weight.

Following a tummy tuck, you will be given a tailored aftercare plan that you must follow in order to get the most out of your surgery and assist in the healing process.

The aftercare plan will depend on the type of tummy tuck you have any the extent of your surgery.

Patients usually stay in hospital after their surgery for up to two to four days.

Dressings and bandages are applied to the lower abdomen and very thin tubes (drains) may also be present in the wound. The tubes are to drain fluid and will be removed before you are discharged for home.

Some patients may also be on a drip to ensure you stay hydrated and to administer any medications that are needed. However, if you are able to drink adequate amounts of fluid then a drip may not be required. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during your consultation as they outline the extent of the operation.

Painkillers will be provided following your tummy tuck to help ease symptoms of pain and discomfort and to help aid recovery.

It is important that you rest and not do too much activity too soon. Doing so can cause swelling and slow down your recovery.

Patients should expect a recovery period of up to six weeks, observing the following recommendations:

• Rest in bed at home for the first 1-3 days
• Get up and walk around as soon as it is comfortable to do so
• Don’t be scared to get out of bed and go to the toilet
• Avoid strenuous activity and stretching
• Take up to 4 weeks off work depending on your job role
• Gradually increase activity levels from light walking around the home to going up and down the stairs
• Do not go walking outside of the house for longer than 10 minutes in the first few days/weeks
• Avoid sports and heavy lifting for up to 2 months
• Paracetamol and ibuprofen are fine to take to ease pain
• Wear support clothing if advised by your consultant

All medical procedures come with complications and side effects and a tummy tuck is no different.

Because every patient is different, side effects may be more common to some people more than others. Common side effects of a tummy tuck include:

• Numb feeling in the abdomen
• Skin sensitivity
• Swelling
• Scars
• Bruising
• Pain

These symptoms should ease and improve within the first few days of recovery. Some longer term swelling may be present in the following 1-3 weeks, but should ease completely within 2-3 months.4
