TUMMY TUCK HEALING & SCAR PROGRESSION

Scars are a natural part of the healing process. The goal is to make your scar as small and discreet as possible. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery scars and healing progression can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual's healing process.

How do we ensure you get the results you deserve?

Tummy tuck recovery Week by Week timeline

Immediate Post-Op (1 Week)

1 Week Post-Tummy Tuck

Immediately following the surgery, the abdomen and incision site will be swollen, bruised, and may ooze a small amount of blood or fluid. It is important to keep the area clean and dry, and follow any instructions given by your surgeon for wound care. You may also experience some pain and discomfort, which can be managed with medication.

Mid-Term Healing (8 Months)

14610_TTScar_8M

Swelling in the abdominal area would have significantly subsided compared to the earlier stages of healing, the scar would have also matured considerably by being thinner and lighter in colour, and less raised, your scar can still improve further over time.

Long-Term Healing (18 Months)

18 Months Post-Tummy Tuck

Patients are enjoying a flatter and firmer abdomen with the final scar appearance varying by individual but generally reaching its mature state, resembling a thin, pale line. While still visible, these scars are significantly less conspicuous. Continued sun protection and scar care contribute to long-term scar improvement.

It is important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible healing and cosmetic results.

Step 2. Meet your surgeon

You will be offered a further appointment with your consultant before progressing to surgery to discuss the Tummy Tuck procedure in more detail, as well as details of preparation and recovery.

3

Step 3. Preparation for Tummy Tuck surgery

The staff at Bella Vou will advise you on any pre-operative preparations to reduce your risk of infection and help your recovery.

You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory medication, which can increase the risk of bleeding. It’s important to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes, which can impede the healing process.

You should continue to shower daily, as usual. 

You will be advised about the time to start fasting in preparation for your general anaesthetic.

On the day of your surgery, you’ll be welcomed to Bella Vou and checked into one of our beautifully appointed recovery suites before being escorted to the state-of-the-art operating theatre.

Step 4. What happens during Tummy Tuck surgery?

Tummy Tuck surgery is performed under general anaesthetic. The surgeon cleans the skin then makes incisions from hip to hip and around the belly button. The surgeon will place the scars carefully so that they are hidden in the skin's natural folds and creases.

Your consultant will separate the skin from the tissues below, then realign and repair the abdominal muscles. They’ll cut away all the excess fat and skin, create a new hole for the belly button and then stitch this in place.

Finally, the surgeon will pull the skin so that it is smooth and tight, then stitch the wound closed using sutures that are absorbable and do not need to be removed.

Step 5. Recovery from a Tummy Tuck

After Tummy Tuck surgery, you will stay on the ward overnight and go home the following day. A friend or family member will need to pick you up and escort you home. You will be given pain-relief and a supportive compression garment to reduce pain, bleeding, and swelling.

Recovery from surger  can take up to six weeks, but you may feel ready to return to work after two. From four to six weeks, you can start to slowly increase your activity level as you regain your strength and confidence.

You'll wear the pressure garments day and night during your recovery. These support the scar, reduce swelling and bruising, and help you stay comfortable.

Bella Vou staff will closely monitor your recovery. A week after surgery, the wound care specialist and nurse will check your scar. Your surgeon will check it again around six weeks after surgery.
