A Full Tummy Tuck is a comprehensive, transformative surgical procedure designed to completely reshape the midsection. By removing large amounts of loose, overhanging skin, eliminating stubborn fat, and repairing separated abdominal muscles, this surgery restores a firm, flat, and beautifully contoured stomach that is impossible to achieve through diet and exercise alone.
Treatment
At Shumaila’s London, we ensure you never walk the path of your surgical journey alone. From your initial consultation through to your final transformational result, our dedicated medical experts will be by your side, providing compassionate and continuous support.
The Procedure
Significant weight loss, multiple pregnancies, and the natural aging process can severely damage the elasticity of the abdominal skin and cause the underlying core muscles to permanently separate (a condition called diastasis recti). A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdominal wall—from the pubic bone all the way up to the ribcage.
The surgeon pulls the sagging skin downward like a window shade, excises the excess, and rigorously tightens the internal muscular corset for a profoundly flat result. At Shumaila’s London, we tailor every aspect of this treatment to your unique anatomy and aspirations, ensuring a premium experience that is synonymous with our brand.

Frequent Asked Questions
Yes, but doctors highly recommend waiting until you are finished having children before undergoing a tummy tuck, as a new pregnancy can stretch the muscles and skin out again.
The scar is long (usually hip to hip) but is strategically placed very low on the pelvis so it is completely hidden by standard underwear or swimsuit bottoms.
It is the permanent vertical separation of the abdominal muscles, typically caused by the pressure of a growing baby during pregnancy. Only surgery can sew them back together.
The first few days are uncomfortable, primarily due to the muscle tightening. You will need to walk slightly bent over for about a week to reduce tension on the incision.
It will permanently remove any stretch marks that are located on the skin being excised (the area between your belly button and pubic bone).
You must sleep on your back with your upper body elevated and pillows under your knees for about 2 weeks. This “V” position reduces tension on your abdominal incision.
Liposuction only removes fat. A tummy tuck removes excess, sagging skin and physically repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles for a comprehensively firm core.
Most traditional abdominoplasty procedures use 1 or 2 small drains to prevent fluid accumulation. They are typically removed at your follow-up appointment within 4 to 10 days.
By repairing diastasis recti (separated muscles), a tummy tuck dramatically strengthens your deep core. For many women, this newly restored internal support significantly alleviates chronic lower back pain.
Your native belly button remains attached to the abdominal wall. The skin is pulled down over it, and a new opening is meticulously created for the belly button to show through naturally.
You will need to wear a firm abdominal binder or compression garment day and night for 4 to 6 weeks. This minimizes swelling and supports your newly repaired muscles as you heal.
