Torsoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the look of the body by removing excess tissue and sagging skin. This surgery focuses on the torso and back. The abdomen and legs are included in this phrase. It remodels all of the places between the stomach and thighs, which is why it is sometimes called a “tummy tuck,”.

Torsoplasty surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and usually spans between 3 to 5 hours. Typically, there are two main types of Torsoplasty surgeries.

Vertical Torsoplasty: The incision usually runs from the armpit to below the bra line. It may, however, reach all the way to the top of the hipbone on rare occasions. The scar does not cross over your back, which is a benefit in this case. Another advantage is that Mr Ammar Allouni can create an hourglass figure (narrow waist).

Horizontal Torsoplasty: In this procedure after the fat is removed, the remaining skin on your abdomen is lifted from front to back. This means that the incision will go across your back and down towards your buttocks. The benefit of this technique is that more drooping skin can be removed.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend surgery only if it is the best option for you. You will also be encouraged to clarify any doubts regarding the recovery period, post-surgical care and the expected outcomes.

He will take your detailed medical history and conduct relevant clinical assessments, which might be followed by a 3D projection of the expected result – if surgery is indicated in your case. Additionally, he will inform you of the potential risks and complications of the surgery. 

Some of your medications might require adjustments prior to the surgery or additional drugs may be prescribed. You will be asked to discontinue drugs like aspirin and herbal medications (if any) for a few days before and after the procedure. 

Mr Ammar Allouni will also inform you about certain precautions to be taken before and after surgery. He will instruct you to quit smoking and to avoid consuming alcohol and recreational drugs for a few days before and after the surgery.

• Pre-Surgical Care: After your full body assessment and before your surgery day you get the list of precautionary measures – what all you should avoid and what all you should do for the best results.

• Day of Surgery: Mr Allouni follows the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) guidelines for all cosmetic procedures. On the day of surgery, your health status will be reassessed thoroughly and a qualified nurse will prepare you for the procedure. Mr Ammar Allouni and his team will ensure your well-being and comfort throughout the procedure.

• Post-Surgical Care: Mr Allouni and his team will be at your side while you are recovering. Once you are ready to go home you will be receiving a proper guideline of dos and don’ts that you need to follow and instructions on how often you need to be in touch with your surgeon to share your recovery status.

• Follow up Stage – FREE: You will be provided with a schedule about your follow up appointments. All your follow-ups with your surgeon will be completely free.

• Personalised Care: Once you have gone through your surgery, you can always directly contact with Mr Ammar Allouni and his team in case you face any issue or concern in future.

Blemishes might appear after Torsoplasty surgery and take approximately two weeks to go away. According to personal disposition, swelling is more or less apparent. Swelling subsides rapidly in the first few weeks following surgery, but it may linger for months. You are required to take off for a minimum 12 weeks from work. Lateral chest wall contouring procedures result in scars. In order to achieve the best results in terms of scar quality and hence visibility, it is advisable to apply paper tape to scars for three months, replacing them every ten days. In this way, skin tension, which may cause scar widening, is reduced. Afterwards, silicone gel should be applied for a few months, to facilitate optimal scarring.
