Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, often referred to as tummy tuck surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure is ideal for clients with loose skin on the abdomen, weakened abdominal muscles, or excess fat, often resulting from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. At Estetika Plus, we offer professional abdominoplasty that helps you achieve a firmer and flatter abdomen and improve body contours.

What is abdominoplasty? Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and the tightening of weakened or stretched abdominal muscles. The procedure can significantly improve the appearance of the abdomen, especially in individuals who cannot achieve a flat abdomen through exercise or diet. This procedure is not a substitute for weight loss but is an effective solution for clients who maintain a stable weight and wish to get rid of excess skin or fat that does not respond to standard methods.

Who is Abdominoplasty Suitable For?

Clients with excess and loose skin in the abdominal area, for example after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Individuals with weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis), which can lead to a protruding appearance of the abdomen.

Those with localized fat deposits that cannot be reduced through diet or exercise.

How is Abdominoplasty Performed?

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone, where the scar can be easily hidden under underwear or swimsuits. The surgeon then removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles using sutures. If necessary, liposuction may be performed for further contour improvement. Finally, the skin is gently pulled down to ensure a smooth and flat appearance of the abdomen, and the incision is sutured.

Types of Abdominoplasty

Full Abdominoplasty: This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the entire abdomen, from the lower abdomen to the upper part, and tightening of the abdominal muscles. Full abdominoplasty is ideal for clients with significant loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles.

Mini Abdominoplasty: This procedure is less invasive and focuses on the lower part of the abdomen below the navel. It is suitable for clients with smaller amounts of excess skin who want to improve the appearance of the lower abdomen. During a mini abdominoplasty, it is not necessary to reposition the navel.

Benefits of Abdominoplasty

The procedure tightens weakened or stretched abdominal muscles and restores firmness, resulting in a flatter and firmer abdomen.

Abdominoplasty removes loose skin, significantly improving the appearance of the abdomen, especially after weight loss or pregnancy.

This procedure helps achieve harmonious and balanced body proportions.

Recovery After Abdominoplasty

After surgery, it is important to follow a resting regime, wear compression garments, and gradually increase physical activity. In the first few days post-surgery, it is common to experience swelling and pain, which can be controlled with pain medication. Clients are advised to stay home for 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure. Return to normal activities and light exercise is possible after 4 to 6 weeks, but heavy physical exertion should be limited for a longer period. Scars will gradually heal and fade over time.

Results and Long-Term Care

The results of abdominoplasty are typically long-lasting, especially if clients maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. The final appearance of the abdomen is visible after several months, once the swelling has completely subsided and the scars have healed. The scars are positioned to be as inconspicuous as possible and can be easily concealed under clothing.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, or scarring. At Estetika Plus, we emphasize safety and an individual approach to minimize risks and ensure the best possible results.
