Terms of Use

These terms set out the understanding between you and My Shape Back when you use this website. They are meant to be fair and readable rather than full of fine print, and they sit alongside our Privacy Policy.

Agreement to terms

By browsing myshapeback.com, you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If any part of them does not work for you, the right course is simply not to use the site.

A diary, not medical advice

Everything here is written for general education and support, to help you understand the tummy tuck from the decision through to recovery and life after. Much of it is a personal, week-by-week diary of one person’s experience. None of it is medical advice, and it cannot replace a conversation with your own surgeon or care team, who know your circumstances. Please read our Medical Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms, before you rely on anything you find here.

Ownership and use of content

Unless we say otherwise, the writing, structure, photographs, and design on this site belong to The Tummy Tuck Diary and are protected by copyright. The recovery and scar photographs in particular are personal and are published here as part of this diary only. You are welcome to read the site for your own non-commercial use, link to our pages, and quote a short passage with clear credit. Republishing, copying, or redistributing substantial parts, or reusing the photographs, without our written permission is not allowed.

Acceptable use

We ask that you use the site honestly and considerately. Please do not attempt to disrupt or overload it, access it through automated tools that place an unreasonable burden on it, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

External links

We sometimes point to other websites, such as professional bodies and research, for further reading. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion.

Warranties and liability

We work to keep the information here accurate and current, but we cannot warrant that it is complete, error-free, or suited to any particular situation, and it is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, My Shape Back is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows or the law changes. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version, and your continued use of the site means you accept it.
