Statement: Dr. Sohail Akhtar is a General Medical Council certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years in practice. Specializing in plastic surgery for more than a decade, Dr. Akhtar performs a wide range of surgical procedures to improve the appearance of the breasts, body, and face. His greatest expertise lies in breast enhancement, tummy tucks, liposuction, and complete mommy makeovers.

Dr. Akhtar was first inspired to pursue a career in surgery while completing an elective placement in cardiac transplant surgery in London. After graduation from medical school at Liverpool University, he embarked on surgical training and was awarded membership into the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS).

He further honed his craft in cosmetic surgery with the National Health Service as a consultant plastic surgeon in Durham. He then became a consultant at the prestigious Wrightington Hospital in Lancashire, where he currently performs a wide range of plastic surgery procedures.

Beyond the NHS, Dr. Akhtar frequently performs cosmetic procedures in three CQC Certified hospitals: the BMI Highfield Hospital in Rochdale, North Manchester; the BMI Huddersfield Hospital in West Yorkshire; and the Wilmslow Hospital in Cheshire. He believes that the quality of the patient journey is as important as the result.

In addition to his plastic surgery practice, Dr. Akhtar is deeply involved with charitable medical aid. He provided emergency surgical relief in Pakistan after the devastating 2005 earthquake and he has gone on several charitable missions to Sierra Leone.

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Age 30, yo-yo diet. What kind of results can I expect from a tummy tuck?
You will be delighted with the improvement
May 18, 2021
Thanks for your question. There is no doubt that a tummy tuck will give you a much flatter and tighter tummy. I have a patient before and after, on my profile that was very similar to your case and you can judge for yourself regarding the result and potential pouches. Your rib flair is not too prominent so you shouldn't get too much in the way of residual loose skin in the upper abdomen.Liposuction is commonly performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck however this isn't always the case and...
How Long Should You Wear Your Binder/Garment for After a Tummy Tuck?
Compression is essential in order to achieve the best result!
Apr 7, 2021
This is a great question and something I think is variable from person to person. I spend a lot of time talking about compression in the post operative period and apply a regime that starts with a garment and binder day and night and then I gradually start reducing this at the 6 - 8 weeks post operative phase, dependant on how well the body swelling is responding to the compression. By four months most patients are just wearing the garment during the day but still advised to use both during...
How Long Does Tummy Tuck Surgery Swelling Last?
Can last between 3 to 6 months
Mar 14, 2021
This is a great question and one that I always draw my patients attention to before the operation.I tend you say that you look at your best in the first few hours after your operation. The swelling then begins to start and usually continues to get worse up until 6 weeks after the operation and then starts to get better and you will be back to your best by 3 - 6 months post op. Things to reduce the extent of the swelling is not overdoing things in the first 6 weeks.Wear you compression...
How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost?
Variable between hospitals
Mar 11, 2021
Thanks for your question. In my practice the price varies between hospitals even though there is no difference in treatment or follow up and support. The price for a full tummy tuck is between either £5997.50 or £7161.00 in the two hospitals from which I operate. With additional liposuction this will be either £7400.00 or £7880.00. The price includes follow up and two garments.
Am I a good candidate for a TT at this weight (170lbs)?
Best to get to a weight you can maintain easily.
Dec 27, 2020
If the photos represent how you are at the moment then a tummy tuck will do really well. If you lose weight further and have a tummy tuck, then you have to maintain that weight ( minus the weight of the tissue removed )to maintain the result. If you lost weight before the operation and then put weight back on, up to how you are at the moment, after the operation, then the result would probably look worse than if you had a tummy as you are at present.Conversely, you cant lose too much weight...
Is it possible I could go from a 34 DD to a C with regular exercise?
Diet will definitely help
Dec 19, 2020
Thanks for your question. There is no doubt that diet change - ( intermittent fasting or a keto diet) will get you down from a DD to C. the only issue may be sagging of the breast as you lose weight. Losing weight slowly will help reduce the amount of dropping but not a definite. A breast lift could be considered in the future if you don't like the amount of droop that you might get after weight loss.
Am I too slender and petite for a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck would make the world of difference
Dec 19, 2020
Thanks for your question. the main purpose of a tummy tuck is to remove excess skin. Usually the slimmer you are the better the result and the quicker the healing.Based on your photograph there is no doubt a tummy tuck will make a big difference and if the loose skin is above an below the belly button then you are best suited to having a full tummy tuck as apposed to a mini tummy tuck. The main compromise with surgery is the big scar but this does settle down with time but can take two years...
