Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A flat and well-contoured abdomen is appealing for both women and men. Abdominoplasty is the ideal solution for those who have successfully lost weight but still struggle with loose, sagging abdominal skin.
In a single procedure, we remove excess skin and fat, narrow the waistline, lift and enhance the appearance of the external genital area, and most importantly, create a firmer and more attractive abdominal contour.

About the Procedure
- Weak abdominal wall, excess skin, and fat deposits in the abdominal area are most commonly the result of pregnancyor fluctuations in body weight.
- With abdominoplasty, we tighten weakened abdominal muscles or close the gap between them (diastasis recti), remove loose and excess skin and stretch marks, and eliminate stubborn fat deposits.
- Depending on your condition, we’ll recommend either a mini abdominoplasty or a full (classical) abdominoplastyduring the preoperative consultation. Full abdominoplasty allows complete correction of the abdominal area and waist. Liposuction often plays an important role. The scar is slightly longer but fully hidden below underwear.
- "Mini abdominoplasty removes or tightens skin below the navel. It’s performed with the help of liposuction and leaves a shorter scar, often placed where a C-section scar already exists. The scar fades significantly within a few months.
- If the skin is elastic enough, we may opt for VASER ultrasound liposuction combined with Renuvion® skin tightening instead of surgery, which avoids scars and significantly shortens recovery time.
- After surgery, you’ll recover in a modern, fully equipped apartment at our clinic under the care of our expert team. Then, you’ll return home for continued recovery.
- At home, you’ll wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks — that’s about all you need to think about, as no stitches need to be removed.
- Expect to rest for about a week after surgery. You can usually return to work within 7–14 days, and resume sports activities in 3–6 weeks. Keep in mind: Recovery from a mini tummy tuck is much faster than from the full version.
