Frequently Asked Questions
Still weighing whether a tummy tuck is right for you? Our quick-read FAQs cut through the noise with straight answers on safety, recovery, scarring, costs, and candidacy—so you can make an informed decision with total confidence before booking your consultation.
Will I have a scar?
All tucks leave a low, bikini-line scar that fades over 12-18 months. We place it as low as possible and offer scar-care protocols to help it blend.
How long is recovery?
Most patients walk the same day, return to desk work in 10-14 days, and resume workouts at 4-6 weeks. Swelling keeps improving for several months.
Is a tummy tuck safe?
Yes—when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited operating room. We use hospital-grade monitoring and a drainless technique to lower complication risk.
How painful is the procedure?
Expect moderate soreness, similar to a tough core workout. Long-acting local anaesthetic and prescribed meds keep most patients comfortable.
What makes me a good candidate?
Good overall health, non-smoker, realistic expectations, and stable weight. We’ll review your medical history and goals at your consultation.
