Mr William Van Niekerk – Tatler Top Body Surgeon

Who has a Brazilian Tummy Tuck?

Mr William Van Niekerk was the first surgeon in the UK to perform this procedure routinely as day-case surgery. The procedure is often popular with women after pregnancy with Mr Van Niekerk commenting:

“Following pregnancy, some women stop recognising themselves. They’re back to their normal weight, but they still look four months pregnant, because diastasis – where the abdominal muscles separate – enhances the appearance of a bulging tummy.”

A Brazilian tummy tuck is a great treatment for anyone unhappy with the appearance of their stomach due to diastasis recti. The procedure involves careful muscle reconstruction and excess skin removal followed by extensive liposuction.

This procedure is not just for women following pregnancy however, it is suitable for anyone who has a stubborn area of excess fat on their abdomen that they are struggling to reduce with diet and exercise.

What are the advantages of a Brazilian Tummy Tuck?

The procedure does take longer to perform than a typical tummy tuck procedure, but the benefits include reduced risk of complications and bleeding as well as more precise contouring.

When questioned about the results of a Brazilian tummy tuck Mr William Van Niekerk said “Former patients say they wished they’d done it sooner. I think of the years they missed feeling awkward on holiday; not being able to wear the clothes they wanted. Everybody deserves to feel confident in their skin”.
