Tummy Tuck

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and — crucially — repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), the condition behind the stubborn “pouch” that no exercise fixes after pregnancy.

The result is a flatter, firmer abdomen with a low scar, hidden beneath underwear. A mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the navel when the problem is limited.

Are you a good candidate?

Good candidates are at a stable weight, finished with pregnancies, and bothered by loose skin, a muscle gap, or both. If most of your concern is fat with good skin tone, liposuction alone may serve you better — the surgeon will say so honestly.

Smoking must stop well before and after surgery; it directly threatens skin healing.

The process, step by step

After video consultation and quote, your in-person assessment in Agadir confirms the plan — full or mini, with or without liposuction of the flanks. Surgery takes two to four hours under general anaesthesia with one to two nights in the clinic.

Drains are typically removed within days, and you walk — slightly flexed at first — from day one to protect against blood clots.

Recovery

Plan 10–14 days in Agadir. Standing fully upright takes one to two weeks; desk work resumes around two to three weeks; heavy lifting and sport wait six weeks. The scar sits low and fades over twelve to eighteen months.

Agadir’s calm rhythm suits this recovery perfectly — rest, short promenade walks, good food, and your surgeon nearby.

Risks — honestly

A tummy tuck is a major operation. Risks include seroma (fluid collection), delayed wound healing, blood clots, numbness of the lower abdomen and scarring. These are managed with drains, compression, early walking and close follow-up — all part of the protocol.

Why Agadir?

€2,900–3,900 versus €6,000–10,000 at home, with a professor surgeon and two weeks of supervised recovery by the ocean. For an operation where aftercare matters this much, staying near your surgeon is a genuine advantage.
