If you are exploring options for abdominoplasty or liposuction in Sydney, Dr Alaina Taylor delivers skilled surgical care tailored to your goals. As a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and FRACS member, we combine advanced techniques with a personalised approach to treat abdominal contour and muscle separation. Read on to understand what the procedure involves, recovery expectations and complementary treatments.
What Is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty in Sydney, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It is often sought after significant weight loss or pregnancy when the skin has stretched or sagged and the muscles have separated. The outcome will depend on your anatomy and surgical plan.
Who Can Benefit from the Procedure?
Candidates for abdominoplasty are generally healthy individuals who struggle with loose abdominal skin, separated muscles or stubborn fat unresponsive to diet and exercise. We assess each case individually to ensure the procedure aligns with your expectations and physical condition. A thorough consultation allows us to outline the most effective approach based on your anatomy and needs.
Procedure Overview and Recovery
During abdominoplasty, incisions are made to remove skin and tighten muscles. Recovery involves rest, compression garments and a gradual return to movement. Most patients resume light activities within two weeks and more vigorous routines after six weeks. We provide a detailed post-operative care plan and remain accessible throughout your healing process.
Liposuction as Part of Abdominoplasty
In some cases, liposuction may be performed as part of an abdominoplasty to address specific areas of fat. This approach is used based on individual anatomical considerations and surgical goals discussed during consultation. Dr Alaina Taylor will determine whether liposuction is appropriate as a component of your procedure.
Realistic Expectations and Personal Goals
Choosing abdominoplasty in Sydney may be considered for a range of personal or medical reasons, including addressing excess abdominal tissue following pregnancy or weight changes. Many people seek the procedure not just to change how they look but to feel more like themselves again after life changes such as pregnancy, weight loss or aging. We understand that each body tells a story and our approach respects your goals while providing clear, realistic expectations about results. We focus on delivering individualised surgical care based on your medical history, treatment plan, and reconstructive goals. Every case is approached with attention to clinical detail and multidisciplinary collaboration.
