Abdominoplasty at Brandeis Clinic removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening the underlying rectus abdominis muscle wall — restoring a flat, toned abdominal contour that diet and exercise cannot achieve when skin is genuinely stretched. The clinic offers three versions: a mini abdominoplasty targeting only the lower abdomen (below the navel), a full abdominoplasty with navel repositioning for more extensive skin and muscle correction, and a combined abdominoplasty with liposuction for simultaneous flank and waist shaping. The procedure takes approximately 2 hours under general anaesthesia, followed by 2 days inpatient care. Drainage tubes are placed during surgery and managed in the post-operative period. This procedure is commonly performed as part of post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss body restoration.
About this treatment
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at Brandeis Clinic addresses a combination of problems that frequently co-exist and cannot be treated individually: excess lower abdominal skin, subcutaneous fat excess in the lower and mid-abdomen, and diastasis recti — the vertical separation of the paired rectus abdominis muscles that results from pregnancy or significant weight gain.
Why exercise cannot fix it
Abdominal skin excess and diastasis recti are structural problems. No amount of core exercise will retract stretched skin or close a wide diastasis. Liposuction alone cannot correct skin excess. Abdominoplasty is the only reliable correction for the combination of these three tissue problems.

Who is this for?
Post-pregnancy women with lower-abdominal skin excess and diastasis recti; individuals who have had significant weight loss and are left with excess abdominal skin; those for whom liposuction alone is insufficient
Preparation required
Complete the GP-arranged pre-operative tests and bring results to the clinic. Fast from the night before surgery. Cease smoking well before surgery — this is a firm clinical requirement for wound healing safety. Plan for 2–4 weeks off work and 2 months away from sport.
