Tummy Tuck Daycase at The Karri Clinic
The vast majority of tummy tuck patients have their surgery at a hospital under general anaesthesia which means they are often required to stay overnight. For selected patients – such as the lady pictured - Mr Karri performs full tummy tucks under sedation anaesthesia as a daycase procedure at The Karri Clinic, meaning patients are able to go home the very same day.

Summary
- Most tummy tucks are done under general anaesthetic with an overnight stay.
- For selected patients, Mr Karri performs a full tummy tuck under sedation as a day case.
- The tummy muscles can still be tightened under sedation.
Many patients are unaware this is even a possibility, but Mr Karri’s innovative technique ensures patients make an excellent recovery with little discomfort – and as you can see from the images here, the muscles can still be easily tightened under sedation anaesthesia and the results can be spectacular.
You can see more before and after images from our patient’s tummy tuck in the tummy tuck case study.
