Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal region.

This operation is most often recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or for women after childbirth.

Thanks to this procedure, the stomach becomes tighter, flatter, and more proportional to the rest of the body.

At Medical Time hospital, we use modern methods that ensure precision and minimal scarring.

A tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

The goal of the surgery is not weight loss, but rather body shaping and the improvement of abdominal contours.

The intervention is customized for each patient according to their anatomical characteristics and desires.

Who are the candidates for abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is recommended for people with loose skin and poor abdominal muscle tone after childbirth or weight loss.

Ideal candidates are those who have achieved a stable body weight and do not plan any significant future weight fluctuations.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their abdomen and cannot achieve results with diet and exercise are also good candidates.

The procedure is often functional as it can improve the position of the abdominal muscles and posture.

Our hospital provides a comprehensive examination and consultation before making a decision on the intervention.

With the expert advice of a surgeon, the patient gains realistic expectations and a clear recovery plan.

What does the tummy tuck procedure look like?

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 2 and 3 hours.

The surgeon makes a horizontal incision above the pubic region through which excess skin and fatty tissue are removed.

If necessary, separated abdominal muscles are also tightened, which further defines the shape of the abdomen.

The skin is then carefully tightened, and the navel is often reconstructed for a natural look.

The incision is closed with aesthetically thin sutures, and a compression garment is placed to support the tissues.

The patient remains under supervision at the hospital for the first 24–48 hours to monitor the postoperative course.

All steps are meticulously planned to ensure safety and an optimal aesthetic result.

Recovery after abdominoplasty

The recovery period lasts for several weeks, and the full result is seen within a few months.

In the first few days, swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility may be present.

Wearing an elastic compression garment and avoiding strenuous activities are mandatory during recovery.

Sutures are removed gradually, in accordance with the surgeon's instructions and the healing pace.

The patient usually returns to daily activities within 10 to 14 days.

Regular check-ups and following the doctor's advice ensure a fast and safe recovery.

The scar is discreet, located below the underwear line, and becomes almost unnoticeable over time.

Benefits of abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty significantly improves the appearance of the abdomen and the overall body contour.

It boosts the self-confidence of patients who previously had an aesthetic or functional problem in that area.

A tummy tuck often leads to an improvement in the position of the abdominal muscles and posture.

The result is long-lasting, especially if the patient adheres to a healthy diet and physical activity.

The intervention can be combined with liposuction and other aesthetic procedures.

The operation can also have a positive impact on the digestive system and reduce lower back pain.
