About the procedure
The procedure is performed on both men and women, offering lasting results as long as weight gain is avoided afterward. A tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction of the abdomen, hips, waist, and back to achieve a balanced, symmetrical contour around the torso. During liposuction, a saline solution mixed with local anesthetic is injected into the fatty tissue, allowing the solution and fat to be removed smoothly with the help of cannulas.
The injected solution helps to shape the areas being treated more precisely, minimizing any unevenness while also reducing bleeding and swelling during recovery. At Victoriakliniken, we use various types of cannulas and equipment to ensure the best possible conditions for a smooth, even result.

Before the surgery
Based on each patient’s unique characteristics, we discuss the various methods available to achieve the best possible results. The plastic surgeon evaluates the amount of excess fat and assesses the patient’s skin quality. We provide detailed information about the procedure itself and the different techniques we use to optimize body contouring.
We recommend undergoing 2–4 endermology or LPG treatments before surgery, as these stimulate and open up the lymphatic channels. This helps create better healing conditions by allowing waste products from the surgery to be effectively transported away.
During surgery
The procedure typically begins with liposuction of the back, waist, and abdomen. Then, an incision is made in the bikini line and the abdominal tissue is released. The abdominal muscles, which are often stretched, are tightened and stitched together along the linea alba, before excess skin and fat are removed. The total volume removed depends on the body’s build and weight.
The incision is always placed as discreetly as possible, just above the hair-bearing area and in most cases continues under a high-cut bikini towards the hip bones. Victoriakliniken has developed a technique with very low incisions, and by taping the incision for six months, the scars usually become thin and fine.
The surgery is performed under anesthesia, which means you are asleep and free from pain during the entire procedure.
Efter operationen
After the procedure, you can expect some swelling and discomfort, typically peaking around the second or third day, then gradually subsiding. You will be provided with pain-relief medications to take home. A follow-up appointment for wound check is scheduled one to two weeks after surgery. We use dissolvable sutures that don’t need removal; this special type of suture, known as Quill, reduces the risk of widened or unsightly scars based on our experience.
To counteract swelling, it is important to wear a compression garment day and night for three weeks after the surgery, and thereafter for three weeks at night. Another way to reduce swelling is through so-called endermology/lymphatic drainage therapy before and three to four weeks after the operation.
Two treatments before and four treatments after the surgery are recommended.
Results
Bruising may occur but usually disappears within a couple of weeks. Massaging the skin, maintaining a good diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding nicotine products also accelerate the healing process and ensure the best possible final result. The results are generally long-lasting after the surgery.
