Struggling with loose skin or stubborn belly fat that just won’t shift—no matter how hard you train or how much weight you lose? Want more than just a flat stomach? At Breast & Body UK, our tummy tuck with liposuction procedure is designed to smooth, sculpt, and define your midsection by combining two of the most powerful body contouring techniques into one transformative treatment.
What is a Hourglass Tummy Tuck with Liposuction?
An hourglass tummy tuck with liposuction is a powerful body contouring procedure that combines the muscle-tightening and skin-removal benefits of abdominoplasty with the fat-reducing power of liposuction. This combination allows for a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more sculpted waistline in a single surgical session.
The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) component removes excess skin and tightens separated abdominal muscles. Meanwhile, liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits—often around the flanks, hips, or upper abdomen—that don’t respond to diet and exercise. By combining both techniques (hourglass tummy tuck), patients experience more comprehensive and natural-looking results than either procedure can offer alone.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for an hourglass tummy tuck and liposuction if you:
- Have loose or sagging abdominal skin following pregnancy or weight loss
- Struggle with stubborn fat such as an apron belly in the abdomen, flanks, or hips
- Experience weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Are at a stable weight and not planning future pregnancies
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
This procedure is particularly effective for patients who want both fat removal and structural improvement in their core area. During your consultation, we’ll assess your anatomy, goals, and medical history to determine if this combination approach is right for you.
What are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction (Hourglass Tummy Tuck) in Manchester?
Combining a tummy tuck and liposuction allows for more sculpted, natural-looking outcomes in a single surgery, with the added benefit of a smoother recovery timeline. Some of the key benefits include:
More Defined Contours: Liposuction removes targeted fat pockets, enhancing the sculpting effects of a traditional tummy tuck.
Flatter Abdomen: Removing loose skin and tightening the muscles helps restore a firm and toned abdominal appearance.
Improved Waistline: The addition of lipo creates a more tapered waist, offering a more youthful silhouette.
Single Recovery Period: By combining both procedures, patients undergo only one surgery and one recovery phase, saving time and reducing overall downtime.
Long-Term Results: When paired with a healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting, helping patients feel more confident in their bodies for years to come.
Risks and Side Effects of an Hourglass Tummy Tuck
As with any surgical procedure, a tummy tuck with liposuction carries some risks, though complications are uncommon when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. At Breast & Body UK, we take every precaution to ensure your safety and a smooth recovery.
Scarring: You will have a low, horizontal scar across the lower abdomen and small incisions at the liposuction sites. These typically fade with time and are easy to conceal beneath underwear.
Bruising and Swelling: Common in the first few weeks, especially in areas treated with liposuction. Swelling may persist for several months as your body fully heals.
Numbness or Tightness: Temporary numbness or a feeling of tightness in the abdominal area is normal and gradually improves over time.
Healing Complications: Rarely, patients may experience delayed healing, especially if they smoke or have underlying health conditions.
Contour Irregularities: In rare cases, uneven fat removal may lead to slight irregularities, though these can often be corrected with touch-up procedures.

Hourglass Tummy Tuck Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a tummy tuck and liposuction typically takes 2–3 weeks for basic activity and up to 6 weeks for more strenuous tasks. Here’s what to expect:
Compression Garment: You’ll be provided with a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your new contours during healing.
Time Off Work: Most patients take 2–3 weeks off, depending on the nature of their job and how extensive their procedure was.
Mobility: Light walking is encouraged within a few days to support circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Pain Management: Discomfort is most intense in the first week but manageable with prescribed medication.
Scar Care: Following post-op care instructions will help minimise scarring and promote optimal healing.
We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your recovery is on track.
Hourglass Tummy Tuck Cost in Manchester
A tummy tuck with liposuction’s cost depends on several factors, including the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s expertise, and the patient’s individual goals.
Additional fees such as anaesthesia, hospital facility costs, compression garments, and both pre- and post-operative care may also influence the total cost. Because this procedure involves both skin removal and targeted fat reduction, the tummy tuck and liposuction cost can vary more than a standard tummy tuck.
If you’re considering a tummy tuck and liposuction, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced plastic surgeon, Mr. Siddiqui. During the consultation, he will assess your condition, discuss your desired outcomes for the procedure, and provide a personalised cost estimate tailored to your body and goals.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles, while liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits. When combined, they offer more complete body contouring. This creates a flatter stomach and a more defined waistline.
How long is recovery after an hourglass tummy tuck?
Most patients need 2–3 weeks off work and should avoid strenuous activity for six weeks. Swelling can last a few months, but results are visible earlier. Your surgeon will guide your return to normal activities.
Will I have visible scars from the procedure?
Yes, you’ll have a low abdominal scar and small marks at the liposuction sites. These are placed discreetly and usually fade over time. Proper scar care can help reduce their appearance.
How much does a tummy tuck and liposuction cost in Manchester?
Costs vary based on procedure complexity, use of liposuction, and aftercare needs. During your consultation, you’ll receive a personalised quote. This includes all surgical, hospital, and post-op fees.
Can I combine this with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine it with breast procedures or other contouring procedures. This can enhance overall results and reduce downtime. Your surgeon will help you decide what’s safe and suitable.
