Ampika Pickston

Former ‘The Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star Ampika Pickston has undergone a reverse tummy tuck after turning 40 and deciding to have no more children.

Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, a reverse tummy tuck does not impact the muscles and tissues of the lower abdomen. This technique is often best suited to people who want to lose excess skin in the upper abdomen.

“I’ve waited until I’ve decided to have no more children, and I’ve decided to go with Pall Mall Cosmetic Surgery to have a reversal tummy tuck,” she said. Explaining the procedure, she said: “Not many people do this actual technique. It’s where they pull and stretch the skin up, and the scar lies underneath the breast, so you don’t see any scarring whatsoever.”

The technique used means patients can expect a thin horizontal scar to remain after their surgery that is hidden well within the breast crease.

After surgery, patients will notice their upper abdomen is smoother and together, plus their breasts are also fuller immediately following a tummy tuck.

Ampika then shared a video 10 days after her tummy tuck, carried out by Pall Mall Cosmetic Surgery surgeon Dr Hussain, showing the scar underneath her breasts, which is expected to ‘virtually disappear’ after six or seven months. “I am pain free, I’m loving my new stomach. I can’t wait to hit the beach.”

Ampika stated that she did not understand, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” but now this has “transformed my self-esteem and self-worth. I’ve got my dream stomach that I’ve been covering for 17 years.”

This type of surgery is not something that is decided on until the time is right, but Ampika said that after waiting so long, she was “super excited”, especially as she had “been wanting to get rid of loose skin, a ‘yummy mummy’ belly, for over a decade”, and now that she had “put up with it for a long time and was not going to have any more children, now is the right time.”
