Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery

The first step in the process is to book a free, no obligation consultation with one of our surgeons. During the consultation, your surgeon will examine your abdominal area, discuss your aims for the surgery, and advise whether a Mini Tummy Tuck is the most suitable procedure for you. It’s also your chance to ask our team any questions about the surgery.

Once you’ve had your initial consultation and booked your Mini Tummy Tuck, we’ll invite you to a pre-operative assessment. We will conduct some medical checks to make sure you’re fit and healthy enough to undergo surgery - this may include tests for MRSA and some blood and urine tests.

At this point, we’ll also take some photographs of your abdomen, so there’s a record of your progress and the results of your procedure.

Your Mini Tummy Tuck surgery will be performed at our CQC-registered private hospital in Newton-le-Willows. We will send you your admission time around 24-48 hours before your procedure - this is the time we ask you to arrive at the hospital, and not the time your surgery will take place.

At the hospital, we’ll ask for your final consent to proceed and you’ll then be sedated with a general anaesthetic for the procedure. Our team will be there to support you, answer any remaining questions, and ensure you’re comfortable throughout your stay.

You will usually be able to go home the day after your surgery. Your overnight stay and the meals we provide are all covered in the cost of the procedure.

You won’t be able to drive after your surgery, so you’ll need to ensure you’ve arranged alternative travel. Ideally, have someone else drive you home or take a taxi.

Following your surgery, you will be given a post-op instruction leaflet, which will have details of all the steps you need to take to ensure a smooth recovery. We will also give you pain relief, dressings, and a support garment for your abdomen.

Leading up to the day of the procedure, your surgeon will give you all the information you need about the recovery process and when you can expect to get back to your usual routine.

We will arrange two post-op appointments for one week and six weeks after your surgery. This will give us a chance to check how your recovery is going and also gives you the opportunity to express any concerns or ask any questions. If you feel you need further support outside of these appointments, you can contact our nursing team 24/7 and arrange further appointments if required.
