Abdominoplasty: Everything You Need to Know | Surgery Spotlight

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about having an abdominoplasty/ tummy tuck — including a few things you probably didn’t realise you should ask.

In the first episode of our new Surgery Spotlight series, plastic surgeons Dr Richard Bloom and Dr Kim Taylor take the abdominoplasty back to basics.

What actually happens during surgery? Does everyone need a muscle repair? Can you fix loose skin in the gym? Where does the scar sit? And what is recovery really like?

Then we get into the questions that don’t always make the standard FAQ list: why your stomach can still look rounded after surgery, what makes a good belly button, why some scars end up too high, what happens to the mons pubis, and some of the unexpected things surgeons have discovered once they’ve started operating.

Plus, after thousands of abdominoplasties between them, Richard and Kim share what they know and where other surgeons go wrong.
