Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

Visible excess skin and fat is not only distracting when doing sport or choosing clothes, but also generally does not match the body proportions.
The desire for correction is therefore understandable.

The excess and sagging skin and fatty tissue is precisely measured and surgically removed.
The necessary incisions are placed in such a way that they are well covered by briefs or a swimsuit.
In addition to the external tightening, an internal tightening is often required.
This involves tightening the inner abdominal muscles like an inner corset.
The tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and takes about two to three hours.

After the operation, you will remain under observation for at least 6 hours in our clinic, after which you may be collected. The first check takes place the next day.
After the tummy tuck, a special compression girdle is applied, which must be worn for the following six weeks, especially during the day and when standing.

In the first few weeks, you may feel a slight temporary tension in your abdomen and possibly muscle pain due to the additional muscle tightening. Expect to be unable to work for about two weeks. However, the abdominal muscles in particular still need to be protected (e.g. no lifting weights). After about six to eight weeks, scar healing is also complete.
