Types and guides
Every tummy tuck, explained
Each guide says who it isn't for, the recovery, the risks and what results are realistic.
Mini or full
The difference is the skin above the belly button and the muscles. Most people asking for a mini are told why a full one suits better.

After pregnancy
Physiotherapy for the muscle gap comes first, then surgery once your family is complete. What the HSE advises.

Questions
What people ask us
How much is a tummy tuck in Dublin?
A full tummy tuck costs €8,000 to €12,000, a mini €5,600 to €7,900, and a full tummy tuck with liposuction €10,400 to €11,500.
Mini or full?
A mini treats loose skin below the belly button only. Skin or muscle separation above the navel needs a full tummy tuck.
Is a tummy tuck weight loss?
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss operation. Surgeons generally want you close to a healthy, stable weight first, and many look for a weight that has held steady for around six months.
How long off work?
About four to six weeks for most people, longer for physical work.
Should I wait until I've finished having children?
Yes: surgeons generally advise it, because a pregnancy can undo the repair.
Who will contact me?
One clinic, not five. We pass your enquiry to one clinic, and they contact you to arrange a consultation with a surgeon.
How do I check the surgeon?
Every doctor practising in Ireland must be registered with the Medical Council, and only a doctor with specialist registration can practise independently as a specialist. For a tummy tuck, check that the surgeon is on the Specialist Division in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, using the Medical Council's online register.
