A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and sagging skin to create a flatter, more aesthetically pleasing abdomen. Also known as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is suitable for those who have deformities in the abdominal area as a result of significant weight loss, pregnancy or ageing.

An abdominoplasty is not considered a suitable procedure for those wishing to lose weight or become pregnant in the future, as the results of an abdominoplasty can become deformed with weight changes.

A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, but a procedure to correct abdominal deformities, which is associated with weight loss. Therefore, if you are planning to have bariatric surgery that involves losing a large amount of weight, or if you are planning to lose weight by other means, it is recommended that you have a tummy tuck turkey after you have completed your weight loss process.
