Abdominoplasty Surgery (Tummy Tuck)

After greater weight loss or even after childbirth, the skin in the abdomen is loose, usually associated with weakening of the abdominal wall due to the separation of abdominal muscles. Excess skin often cannot be removed even by exercise and the solution can be plastic surgery of the abdomen – abdominoplasty. This is an extensive surgical procedure to remove excess fat and loose skin. The procedure can be combined with liposuction.

In general, both women and men undergo this surgery. If a woman is planning to become pregnant or intends to undergo, for example, a slimming treatment, it is advisable to wait with the surgery in order to achieve the greatest possible effect.

In case of postoperative pain, analgesics are prescribed. Postoperative pain can occur especially when changing positions or coughing. We recommend a semi-sitting position. For the first days after the operation, only light meals are served. Sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed. Compressive garments should be worn for 6-8 weeks. It is not removed during the first 7 days after the surgery. The first weeks after the surgery, complete rest is recommended. You can return to work after about 3 weeks. Hard work, lifting weights and sports activities after up to 2 months. The effect of the surgery is permanent if you follow the recommended diet with plenty of exercise. The so-called mini-abdominoplasty is a less demanding alternative, which affects the lower abdomen only and is sometimes sufficient to achieve the desired How long will I be out of work?results.

You should plan at least 3 weeks off to allow sufficient recovery time. However, if your work is physically demanding, count on a longer time to recover. Everything will be consulted with the surgeon.

The result will be visible immediately, although full recovery may take 2-6 months. Your scar may be red and swollen during this time. It will disappear eventually.

It can last for many years. Unless there is a large weight gain or a large change in body shape after pregnancy, the changes are permanent.

You can usually walk immediately after the intervention; in fact, it is recommended to walk several times a day. At first, you may not be able to stand up straight and you may walk with your back bent. The reason is that the skin of the abdomen will be firm after suturing. You will probably be instructed by your surgeon to try to bend slightly for the first 4-5 days after surgery.
