Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty) in Sydney
Sometimes, despite our best efforts with diet and exercise, the changes that our body experiences through pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or even ageing may leave their mark on our abdominal area. This could be due to loose or excess skin, weakened abdominal muscles or even stubborn fat deposits – all of these may not only affect your appearance, but also your physical comfort and core strength.
If this makes you feel self-conscious or if you are experiencing discomfort, a tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) can help restore a more contoured appearance. This isn’t simply a cosmetic procedure – it is a reconstructive surgery that focusses on restoring form and function. At BB Clinic, we understand that procedures like these go beyond the aesthetic component – they are about feeling good in your own body. We are here to provide expert guidance and honest advice, so that you can make an informed decision about your transformation.
Whether you wish to get back to your pre-pregnancy shape, improve your core strength or simply feel more confident about your body, a mini tummy tuck or tummy tuck could help.

What is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck surgery, or an abdominoplasty is surgical procedure that is designed to remove excess, stretched skin and fat pads from the lower abdomen, while also tightening the underlying muscles – to create a firmer and flatter abdomen. It is a very effective procedure for those who struggle with loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles or persistent fat that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise.
Among the most common effects of pregnancy are stretch marks, excess skin and an excess fat pad on the lower abdomen. With multiple pregnancies, the risk of front abdominal muscles drifting apart increases, known as diastasis recti. This could also result in the development of hernias – visible as a bulging through the midline of the abdomen. Moreover, it is possible that the stretched skin does not shrink back into place.
A tummy tuck can also repair umbilical hernias and realign the rectus muscles into their normal position at the same time. However, you should note that the results are not guaranteed and can vary depending on the patient, surgical techniques, and the skill of the surgeon.
This procedure can be helpful for:
- Post-pregnancy mothers looking to restore their abdominal tone after childbirth
- Individuals who have had significant weight loss and are left with sagging skin
- Ageing individuals who are experiencing skin laxity and muscle weakness
Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures
Full Tummy Tuck vs Mini Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on the amount of excess skin, muscle laxity, and fat distribution, patients may benefit from either a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck.
