The procedure

The procedure is performed in a modern, fully-equipped operation theatre with a qualified anaesthetist and trained surgical team. Markings are made with you standing, checked against pre-operative photographs and simulations. Tissue is handled with meticulous, layered technique, closure is tension-free, and dressings or garments are applied before you are shifted to recovery. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia so that you will be discharged home 1-2 days after surgery.

Anaesthesia

General or Spinal anaesthesia, decided after pre-anaesthetic assessment.

Duration

Around 3 – 4 hours, depending on the extent of liposuction and tummy tuck and additional touch-ups planned.

Risks and complications

All surgery carries risk. These may include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, altered sensation, asymmetry, unfavourable scarring, seroma or the need for revision. Anaesthetic and thromboembolic risks are minimised through screening and protocol-based care. Each risk relevant to you is explained in detail during informed consent.

Results

Early results are visible once swelling settles, with the final refined outcome typically at 3 to 6 months. Results are long-lasting when weight, skin care and general health remain stable.
