Of course from an ethical standpoint, we do not operate on those under 18 years of age. However, we do not have any restriction per se on an upper age limit. It is important to note that older patients may take longer to recover and heal after the procedure, and results may differ depending on the quality of skin in the first place. You will be consulted accordingly to distinguish the best treatment programme for you.
In a mini tummy tuck, excess fat and skin is removed from below the belly button. But a floating umbilicus – or floating belly button tummy tuck – often suits patients who only need moderate skin tightening but want a smooth and flat stomach.
In this method, the belly button is detached from the abdominal wall and moved down slightly and repositioned once the excess tissue and skin has been removed. With different options available, our expert body surgeons will explain each procedure fully to you in a personal consultation. They will discuss your expectations, your general health and then advise you on the very best procedure – either a single tummy tuck or one combined with liposuction.
Results of surgery are certainly long lasting and palpable instantly after the procedure is performed, the longevity and optimisation of results is dependent on following the aftercare instructions set out to you by one of our surgical members of staff, and also maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle. If you indulge and do not remain active post-surgery, this can undo some of the work.
With any incision, there runs the risk of scarring. However, our top surgeons will ensure the scar is placed strategically so that it heals well and avoids irritation by rubbing of clothes and so forth, but also so that it is minimally-visible and discrete. Your assigned surgeon will mark the area before the procedure and discuss the placement of the scar in your consultation.
We advise our patients to take 1-3 weeks off work to ensure a safe healing environment post surgically. Everything heals differently however most patients heal completely at 4-6 weeks post-surgery.
