Tummy tuck

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) involves the removal of sagging, loose abdominal skin, which is usually a residue from pregnancy or heavy weight loss. The cut is carried out at the border of pubic hair towards the iliac spines. Then the skin is stretched and excess is removed. Tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia. The duration of the procedure is 3-4 hours.

Please inform your doctor about all medications you are taking and complaints during your medical consultation. All required tests should be performed as prescribed by the physician prior to surgery. It is very important to stop smoking and drinking alcohol before surgery because these substances have a significant negative effect on wound healing. We recommend giving up alcohol and cigarettes for as long as possible before and after the procedure to avoid postoperative scars. You should stay on empty stomach for 6 hours before the procedure.

Swelling and redness gradually disappear after 2-3 weeks after the procedure. A suitable elastic corset should be worn day and night for six weeks. It will allow for proper healing of postoperative wounds. Physical exercises can be performed after 6 weeks.

During the first weeks after the surgery, avoid physical exertion or heavy lifting, as well as sauna visits, bathing and sunbathing. It is also worth giving up drinking and smoking nicotine-containing products as long as possible. This is important because of the proper healing of wounds after surgery and reducing the likelihood of scars.

People struggling with comorbidities or other health problems must inform their physician during the first qualification consultation. Before the procedure, perform all tests as prescribed by the doctor and follow all recommendations before and after the procedure.

What is the difference between plastic surgery of the abdominal wall and the extensive surgery of abdominal macros Fleur de Lis?
What makes the fleur de lis tummy tuck unique is the shape of the incision and the large amount of skin removed. In a fleur de lis tummy tuck solution, the tummy tuck design only uses an incision to the abdominal part. In this procedure, an eye-shaped flap is removed from the flabby skin of the lower abdomen. While the rest is pulled down for a slimmer and younger aesthetic effect.
