Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck Surgery)


Surgical correction of the abdomen or abdominoplasty is an exsection of adipo-dermal «apron», whereby the abdomen becomes flat and taut. The operation is carried out with equal success, both for men and women.

Indications for Abdominoplasty

The growth of the abdomen and of a skin-fat apron is caused by many factors, including: sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, hormonal disorders, carrying of pregnancy and age-related changes. 


The following categories of patients are usually seeking for a plastic surgeon help:

  • people who have lost weight dramatically (more than 7 kg);

  • postpartum women;

  • patients with fatty deposits in the abdomen caused by hormonal disorders.

Tummy tuck can carry not only an aesthetic function, but also a preventive one – diseases of the spine provoked by obesity and disorders of the internal organs are prevented.


The operation is not carried out in case  of diseases of the blood-making organs, hepatitis, renal insufficiency, diabetes and acute infections.

Types of Abdominoplasty

The extent of operation depends upon the size and volume of body fat. If a fat layer is not thick, then miniabdominoplasty is carried out (little surgical trauma). Moderate disproportion (folds in the abdomen, below the navel) requires an average abdominoplasty. 


If the disproportions in the abdominal area are significant-total abdominoplasty is performed, during which the doctor corrects not only the waist, but also the lower back, in some cases – the buttocks. In case of large amount of body fat, tummy tuck is successfully combined with surgical liposuction.

Abdominoplasty in Oxford Medical 

Before the operation, the surgeon lays on a marking line, according to which cuts will be made and subcutaneous fat will be removed along with excess skin. If necessary, during the operation certain measures are taken to strengthen the muscle tissues of the anterior abdominal wall.

For one and a half to two months, the patient wears compression garment, which is drawn on immediately after surgery.
