The conversation
Suitability, muscle repair, realistic expectations
A tummy tuck surgery consultation with Dr Nara in Adelaide is generally an hour, held at our rooms in Kent Town on selected dates. The structure is the same as at our other clinics: a private examination room, a chaperone present, the conversation paced by you. Dr Nara will examine the abdominal wall, assess the degree of skin laxity and any separation of the abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis, common after pregnancy), check your general health and BMI, and discuss whether a full or partial abdominoplasty — or a different procedure altogether — is the appropriate approach.
Abdominoplasty is a reshaping and repair procedure, not a weight-loss procedure. The discussion at consultation will be honest about the permanent scar it leaves and what the procedure can and cannot achieve. For some patients, liposuction alone or doing nothing is the better answer. That conversation is had openly.
Because Dr Nara visits Adelaide on selected dates rather than weekly, the two-consultation process is generally arranged around the visit cadence. A Zoom consultation can be the first appointment if you would prefer to begin remotely. A formal written cooling-off period applies in line with Medical Board of Australia guidelines, and a GP referral is required.
Getting to Kent Town
A practical note for Adelaide patients
The rooms are on King William Street in Kent Town, in Adelaide's inner east, just east of the city centre. Patients travel for a tummy tuck surgery consultation from across greater Adelaide (Norwood, Kensington, Burnside, Magill, Payneham, Walkerville, Prospect, Unley, the eastern and northern suburbs) and from regional South Australia.
Because consult dates in Adelaide are scheduled in blocks, reception will let you know the next available window when you enquire, and can hold a Zoom consultation in the interim if that suits your timing better.
The procedure itself is performed under general anaesthesia at an accredited Australian hospital or day-surgery facility. Depending on circumstances, this may be in Adelaide or in Melbourne. Because abdominoplasty commonly involves an overnight stay and a recovery period before travel, Dr Nara will discuss the practical arrangements at consultation.
The procedure, in brief
Skin removal, muscle repair, scar placement
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess lower-abdominal skin and, where present, repairs separated abdominal muscles, through an incision placed low on the abdomen so the resulting scar can usually sit below the underwear or swimwear line. Liposuction is sometimes combined with abdominoplasty to address adjacent areas; whether that is appropriate is decided at consultation, not in advance.
A full clinical overview, including the risks specific to abdominoplasty — scarring, wound-healing problems, fluid collections (seroma), changes in sensation, and the risks associated with any general-anaesthetic surgery — is on the tummy tuck surgery pillar page. Reading on the recovery timeline is in the recovery article.
Cosmetic surgery carries risks. These are discussed openly at consultation, in the context of your circumstances. The risks of surgery page gives a fuller factual overview.
