What is a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to reduce abdominal fat. The result is a slimmer and firmer abdomen.

How is a Tummy Tuck procedure done?

To perform a tummy tuck procedure, first general anaesthesia is administered. For patients with large tummies, the surgeon will cut the abdomen horizontally between the hip bones and contour the abdominal muscles, skin and tissues. The surgeon will place drainage tubes under the skin if required. Patients with fat deposits only below their navel will need a shorter and less complex procedure where the surgeon will make a smaller incision and perform key-hole surgery, inserting a small camera to see what needs to be done.

What are the alternatives to a Tummy Tuck?

Alternatives to a tummy tuck procedure are liposuction procedures, diet and exercise, and radiofrequency or laser assisted procedures to reduce abdominal fat.

What is the recovery time after a Tummy Tuck?

Patients recover from a mini or partial tummy tuck procedure within a month but full recovery after a full tummy tuck procedure will take about 6 months.

Tummy Tuck vs Mini Tummy Tuck

The full tummy tuck procedure is employed when patients require the contouring of the entire abdominal region. The procedure takes about four to five hours to complete. It takes about six months to completely recover from a tummy tuck procedure. A mini tummy tuck procedure is for patients who have excessive localized fat in their lower abdomen. The procedure is minimally invasive and takes about one hour. Patients recover from a mini tummy tuck procedure within a month.

How long does swelling last after Tummy Tuck?

Swelling after a tummy tuck procedure may last for about six months.

He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informedHennie, South Africa, 11 01 22

I have known Dr Meintjes since 1986. Over the years, he has performed various minor surgeries on myself, my wife and our youngest daughter. His service has always been excellent, nothing too small for him. He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informed. Always has time for the smallest of surgeries required. Hope that he will be around for a good number of years to come and wish him all of the best.

Tummy Tuck  
Liposuction  
The technique involves injection of fluid, including local anaesthetic, into the area to be refined prior to the actual procedure, the so-called tumescent technique. This is an outstanding procedure with low morbidity and predictable results if patient selection criteria are strict and technique is sound. Surface bruising will usually resolve in 10 to 14 days. Pleasing improvement is noticeable within 7 to 14 days. The final result will usually be evident after 8 to 10 weeks. Careful evaluation of the skin tone is required. The patient's age and the amount of fat to be removed from a particular area can and will influence the "tone" of the skin after the procedure and this is discussed prior to the procedure.

What amazes me most is the pain managementAndrei, South Africa, 16 01 26

Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: I recently returned to Dr. Clare Neser for a second major surgery, and I can now say with absolute certainty that she is simply brilliant. My journey started in August 2025 when I had an Extended/Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty with rectus muscle plication. That experience was an absolute breeze. At the time, I thought perhaps I just got lucky with how fantastic the recovery went. However, on January 12, 2026, I underwent a second procedure—a Posterior Body Lift under general anaesthetic—and the experience was just as incredible. What amazes me most is the pain management. For two such massive procedures, it almost sounds untrue, but I can assure you: in both instances, I woke up from the anaesthetic with absolutely NO pain. It takes a truly skilled surgeon and a brilliant anaesthetist to achieve that level of comfort for a patient. I have gotten to know Dr. Neser over this time, and her skill is undeniable. But it isn’t just her; the entire ecosystem she works in is world-class. The anaesthetist is excellent, and the compassion and care shown by the theatre staff speaks volumes ("spreek boekdele") about why my recovery has been so good. A huge thank you as well to her receptionist and the office staff, who are always helpful and professional. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, I recommend Dr. Neser without a shadow of a doubt.

My experience was truly amazing, every step of the way Dr. Deon took his time to explain every step of the process, and gave expert advice and the result was absolutely amazing, I am so happy with the results of the surgery! Dr. Deon has a wonderful, patient and kind demeanour. A special thanks to Wade and Natasha who were there any hour of the night or day in the weeks following my procedure to answer questions and guide me along on my recovery, the team is absolutely wonderful! Kind and supportive, they made my recovery so much easier! Also a quick thank you to Dr. Cavedon, my anaesthetist who took care to make sure I woke up from the 5-hour procedure without much pain and no nausea. You should absolutely consider Dr. Deon (the best there is) for your procedure.

The reception staff are friendly and very helpful with any questionsChantal, South Africa, 22 01 25

It's probably one of the best interactions I have ever had with any Doctor. I was referred to Dr Wittstock for a wider extraction for a Melonoma. He was so welcoming and before the procedure he explained everything so well and made sure I understood exactly what was going to happen. Explain the aftercare and make sure I understand exactly what needs to happen. The reception staff are friendly and very helpful with any questions. Would highly recommend 👌 Thank you.
