ABDOMINOPLASTY
Abdominoplasty, more commonly know as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the tummy or abdomen. The procedure is usually performed under a general anaesthetic. The operation itself takes about 2 to 3 hours to perform.
Tummy tuck is one of our most commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures. Mr Reza Nassab, lead surgeon at CLNQ, is well known for his mummy makeover procedures which combine breast and tummy surgery. The mummy makeover has been featured on the TV show Real Housewives of Cheshire.
