Tummy tuck before and after: what to expect

After a tummy tuck the lower tummy is flatter and firmer, the overhang and the stretch marks below the belly button are gone, and a low scar replaces them. Swelling hides the final shape for months.

Seven honest questions

Answer as you are today. You'll see the likely fit, our price range and what a surgeon would want to check. Nothing is sent unless you choose to.

Is there loose skin on your tummy?

Why there are no photos here

We're not a clinic and have no patients. Stock photos sold as results aren't results. The photos that matter are a surgeon's own, of their own patients, shown with consent at your consultation.

What changes

  • a flatter, firmer profile, and clothes fit differently

What doesn't

  • stretch marks above the belly button
  • fat inside the abdomen
  • your weight: it isn't weight loss

Judging photos

  • same pose, lighting and distance
  • taken at least six months after surgery
  • bodies like yours
  • the surgeon's own patients, with consent

Questions people ask

When will I see the final result?

Most of it by about six weeks; the last swelling and the scar take months.

Is the result permanent?

Removed skin doesn't come back. The result holds if your weight stays steady and you don't have another pregnancy.
