What is Abdominoplasty 270?
Abdominoplasty 270 is a full tummy tuck with the waist and flanks liposuctioned in the same operation — the front of the abdomen and both sides, 270 degrees of the midsection. Excess skin is removed, the abdominal muscles that pregnancy or weight loss separated are repaired, and the navel is repositioned. It sits between the plain tummy tuck, which treats the front alone, and the 360, which continues around the lower back.
How Does Abdominoplasty 270 Work?
- 1A low incision is made along the bikini line, hip to hip
- 2Excess skin and fat are removed from the front of the abdomen
- 3Separated abdominal muscles are sutured back together
- 4The waist and flanks are liposuctioned to shape the sides
- 5The navel is repositioned into its natural place on the tightened skin
Who is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty 270?
- Loose abdominal skin at the front, with fullness at the waist and flanks
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise cannot close
- Within 10–15 kg of a stable target weight for at least six months
- Patients who want the waistline defined, not only the abdomen flattened
- Non-smokers, or willing to stop for the period the surgeon specifies

Frequently Asked Questions
It describes how far around the midsection the operation goes. A plain tummy tuck treats the front. The 270 adds the waist and both flanks. A 360 continues all the way round, including the lower back.
In practice it is that operation, priced as one line rather than two. The skin removal and muscle repair are the same; what the 270 adds is liposuction of the waist and flanks in the same session.
It depends on where your excess skin and fat sit. If they wrap around to your lower back, the 360 is the operation that reaches them. If your back is not the problem, the 270 treats what is, with a shorter operation. Your surgeon decides this from your photographs.
Low across the abdomen along the bikini line, from hip to hip, positioned so that underwear and swimwear cover it, plus a small scar around the navel. Liposuction leaves only a few millimetre-sized entry points at the sides.
The removed skin does not come back and the muscle repair is permanent. Fat cells removed by liposuction do not return either, though remaining fat can still grow — which is why surgeons ask for a stable weight beforehand and suggest waiting if you plan another pregnancy.
