Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Bali

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen, tightens separated muscles, and repositions the navel. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the navel only and involves a smaller incision. Your surgeon will recommend the appropriate option based on your anatomy and goals.

Plan for at least 3 to 4 weeks in Bali. The first 2 weeks involve the most intensive recovery, with drains typically removed after 5 to 7 days. Most surgeons require a follow-up appointment before clearing patients to fly.

A full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in Bali costs IDR 35,000,000 to IDR 80,000,000 (AUD $3,500 to $8,000). In Australia, the same procedure costs AUD $10,000 to $20,000. Mini tummy tucks (below the navel only) start from IDR 25,000,000.

Plan 14 to 21 days minimum. Drains are removed at 5 to 7 days, sutures at 10 to 14 days. You should not fly until your surgeon confirms healing is progressing well, typically at 14 to 18 days. Walking upright may be limited for the first week.

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen with muscle tightening and navel repositioning. A mini tummy tuck targets only the area below the belly button without moving the navel. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on the degree of skin laxity and muscle separation.

Yes, tummy tucks include diastasis recti repair (suturing separated abdominal muscles back together). This is one of the primary reasons women choose abdominoplasty after pregnancy. The muscle repair restores core strength and a flatter abdominal profile.

Tummy tucks involve significant post-operative discomfort for the first 5 to 7 days, managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe it as intense tightness. Pain decreases substantially by week 2. Walking is encouraged from day 1 but bending and lifting are restricted for 4 to 6 weeks.

Yes, this is one of the most common surgical combinations. Liposuction of the flanks and back combined with a tummy tuck creates a comprehensive body contour result. Your surgeon will assess whether the combination is safe based on the total treatment area.

Yes, a tummy tuck leaves a horizontal scar from hip to hip, positioned low enough to be hidden by underwear or a bikini. The scar fades significantly over 6 to 12 months. Scar management treatments (silicone sheets, laser) can further improve appearance.

Yes, most surgeons recommend completing your family before a tummy tuck. Pregnancy after abdominoplasty can separate the repaired muscles and stretch the skin, potentially reversing results. If you plan future pregnancies, discuss timing with your surgeon.

Reach a stable weight before surgery (results are best when close to your goal weight). Stop smoking 6 weeks before. Prepare your accommodation with pillows for elevated sleeping, easy-to-reach essentials, and meal preparation. Arrange help for the first 3 to 5 days.

Week 1: limited mobility, sleeping on back with knees elevated, light walking. Week 2: increased movement, most drains and sutures removed. Weeks 3 to 4: resumed light activities. Compression garment worn for 6 to 8 weeks. Full exercise at 8 to 12 weeks. Plan quiet accommodation near the clinic.
