Tummy Tuck Service

Excess fat and skin in the abdominal area, a sagging and bulging belly is a problem that affects even slim people and only becomes more painful with age. When it is not possible to beautify body shapes with the help of sports and diets, abdominoplasty (abdominoplasty) is performed, during which excess fat is reduced, abdominal muscles are stretched, and an attractive body contour is restored.

Who can have a tummy tuck?

Patients who are not satisfied with their body, feel discomfort and self-doubt, especially when wearing revealing clothes, choose abdominoplasty surgery.

The main reasons for sagging skin and a protruding belly are:

Large excess of hanging skin after childbirth or rapid weight loss . Abdominoplasty can be performed on patients who are no longer overweight or who are close to their optimal body weight.

During childbirth, the rectus abdominis muscles split (diastasis ) and, for this reason, the abdomen protrudes. In this case, it is not only an aesthetic problem, because the stretched abdominal muscles and weakened abdominal wall do not perform the protective function of the internal organs.

How to prepare for abdominal wall plastic surgery?

As before any plastic surgery, it is necessary to undergo examinations prescribed by the doctor before abdominoplasty, and to give up smoking for several weeks, as this may increase the risk of complications. It is also recommended not to follow exhausting diets, not to take contraceptive pills and blood thinners for at least a month before the operation.

How is abdominoplasty performed?

Depending on the patient's fat tissue and skin excess, one of the types of abdominoplasty can be chosen - classic abdominoplasty, tummy tuck combined with other plastic surgeries and smaller volume (mini abdominoplasty). Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-4 hours, depending on the patient's case.

Classic abdominoplasty

During abdominoplasty, a crescent-shaped incision is made in the lower abdomen (bikini area). During plastic surgery, the skin and subcutaneous tissue are separated from the abdominal wall, the separated rectus abdominis muscles are sutured and the abdominal wall is strengthened. Unwanted excess loose skin is then removed, and a new, aesthetically pleasing navel is formed.

Mini abdominoplasty

If the problem is only split abdominal muscles, there is no excess abdominal skin, and skin elasticity is preserved, plastic surgery of part of the abdominal wall is performed.

Abdominoplasty and other plastic operations

Abdominoplasty is very often performed together with liposuction. During liposuction, fat from the upper, middle part of the abdominal wall and hips are usually removed. Also, after giving birth, the patient often decides to correct the breast along with the plastic surgery of the abdominal wall. In this case, the operation "Mommy Makeover", which is rapidly becoming popular in the world, is performed, during which not only the tummy is corrected, but also breast lifting is performed, often combined with breast augmentation with implants.
