Affordable Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Prague - Safe & Affordable Surgery Abroad

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing loose skin, reducing excess fat, and tightening weakened abdominal muscles. It’s especially effective for people who struggle with sagging skin or bulges that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

There are several types of abdominoplasty, including:

• Full tummy tuck
• Mini tummy tuck
• Extended abdominoplasty: combined with Muscle repair and/or Liposuction

Our specialists in Prague will recommend the best approach based on your body type and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck Surgery

Choosing a tummy tuck abroad in Prague brings both medical and financial advantages:

• Flatter, more toned abdominal profile
• Removal of loose or sagging skin
• Correction of separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Boost in confidence and body image
• Often combined with liposuction for enhanced contouring
• Significant cost savings compared eg. to UK prices
• Safe, EU-regulated plastic surgery facilities

Who Is a Good Candidate for Tummy Tuck

You may be a suitable candidate for abdominoplasty in Prague if:

• You are in good general health
• You have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area
• You’ve had multiple pregnancies or significant weight loss
• You are at a stable weight
• You are a non-smoker (or willing to quit before and after surgery)
• You have realistic expectations about the results

A personal consultation will help determine if this procedure is right for you.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

To meet each patient’s specific needs and body goals, our surgeons offer several types of tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedures:

• Standard Abdominoplasty: This is the most common type, removing excess skin and fat from the entire abdominal area and tightening muscles if necessary. Ideal for patients with significant skin laxity and loose abdominal muscles.
• Mini Abdominoplasty: A less invasive option that targets only the lower abdomen below the belly button. It involves a smaller incision and shorter recovery time. Suitable for patients with a mild lower belly pouch and good skin elasticity.
• Abdominoplasty with Liposuction: Combines tummy tuck surgery with targeted liposuction to further sculpt the waistline and flanks, delivering a more refined contour. This is often chosen by patients seeking enhanced body shaping.
• Muscle Suturing (Diastasis Recti Repair): For patients with separated abdominal muscles, often due to pregnancy, muscle suturing is included to restore a tighter, firmer abdominal wall. This can significantly improve core strength and posture in addition to aesthetics.
• Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty: This advanced technique is designed for patients with excess skin in both vertical and horizontal directions, typically after massive weight loss. It involves a vertical and horizontal incision, allowing for more extensive tissue removal and dramatic reshaping of the abdomen and waistline.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty is a specialized tummy tuck procedure designed for patients with significant excess skin, often after massive weight loss. Unlike a standard abdominoplasty, which only removes excess skin and tightens muscles with a horizontal incision, the Fleur-de-Lis technique involves both a horizontal and a vertical incision, forming an inverted “T” shape.

The key differences compared to a regular abdominoplasty are:

1. Additional Vertical Incision – This allows for more extensive skin removal, especially in the midline, leading to a tighter and more sculpted waistline.
2. Better Contouring for Massive Weight Loss Patients – It is ideal for those with significant skin laxity in both vertical and horizontal directions.
3. More Visible Scarring – Due to the extra incision, scarring is more pronounced but is strategically placed for the best cosmetic outcome.

“I’ve come to favour the Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, especially for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with large amounts of excess skin. Using a special incision shaped like a lily (the French fleur de lis), we remove the excess abdominal skin and reshape the sides of the torso. While a standard tummy tuck focuses on removing loose skin and tightening abdominal muscles below the navel, the Fleur-de-Lis method also addresses the upper abdomen and sides, achieving a flatter, firmer midsection.”

— Dr. Radek Lhotský, certified plastic surgeon

This method provides superior contouring for individuals with extreme skin redundancy that a regular tummy tuck cannot fully address.

Each method has specific indications, benefits, and recovery profiles. Our expert plastic surgeons will guide you through your options based on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle, to ensure safe, natural-looking results.

The Tummy Tuck Surgery: What to Expect

Your tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically lasts 2–3 hours. The process includes:

1. Pre-surgery consultation and planning
2. Incision – usually made low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area
3. Removal of excess skin and fat
4. Muscle tightening (if needed)
5. Careful suturing for optimal healing and minimal scarring

Our English-speaking surgical team ensures clear communication and expert care throughout your stay.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from a tummy tuck abroad typically requires 7–10 days of rest in Prague. After that, you can return to the UK with post-operative instructions.

• Compression garment worn for 6–8 weeks
• Light movement encouraged within days
• Most patients resume work in 2–3 weeks
• Full healing and final results visible after 3–6 months

Our team provides follow-up guidance and is available for remote consultations after your return home.

Risks and Possible Complications

As with any surgery, there are risks involved. These include:

• Infection
• Scarring
• Fluid accumulation (seroma)
• Poor wound healing
• Blood clots
• Temporary numbness or tightness

Our highly qualified surgeons take every precaution to minimise risks, and all procedures follow EU standards of safety and hygiene.

How Long Does the Result of a Tummy Tuck Last?

With proper lifestyle habits, the results of a tummy tuck surgery in Prague are long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is key to preserving your flatter, firmer abdominal contour for many years.
