Tummy Tuck
Removal of loose or excess skin and fat, as well as stretch-marked skin from stomach area. It may involve repairing and tightening muscles. This surgery is done mostly after having children or losing significant weight.
Fast track to the desired silhouette
Loose and flabby skin on the abdomen part can be caused by rapid weight loss, pregnancy, or simply aging. At this stage, flat stomach cannot be achieved only by exercise since there is too much excess skin. The tummy tuck performed at ISCARE clinic in Prague removes excess skin, tightens the abdomen area and even makes the waist look smaller. It is a permanent help for people, where solely liposuction is not satisfying enough.
While having the tummy tuck performed, you can have the belly button placed in a different position which can help the overall visual effect. Tummy Tuck is also performed to patients after bariatric weight loss surgeries such as gastric band, gastric plication, or sleeve gastrectomy, where a rapid weight loss has taken place. Our qualified plastic surgeons with over 25 years of experience in this field will listen to your wants and needs and do their best to fulfil those. Tummy tuck is a permanent change of life so do not hesitate and contact us for more details or send us your pictures to receive a doctor's professional opinion over the email.
How to best choose the incisions depends on the type and size of your excess skin and is agreed prior to the surgery. Usually, it is performed in the so called “bikini line” just above the pubis area so that after healing, the scar is invisible under clothing, the second scar goes around the belly button.
- Prior to the surgery, there is a detailed discussion with the surgeon about which approach to take and what exactly you expect as an outcome.
- You will be informed about the surgery duration, possible risks and the postoperative care.
- Before the surgery, the doctor measures the excess skin and fat zones and markes these on the body.
- Before the surgery the patient undertakes an examination by our internist (blood test, ECG, evaluation of health status).
- The whole operation takes approximately 2-3 hours and is done under general anesthesia.
- After the surgery, an elastic compression bandage should be worn for 8 weeks.
- The hospitalization is normally 2 days, the first day
- Overall recovery takes approximately 8 weeks. No sport is allowed for 2 month.
- The scars should not be exposed to solar radiation (sun bathing or solarium) for 6 months.
- The overall result depends on the amount of excess skin taken away, age, and weight.
The length of inability to work depends on the patient's job and ranges from 2 to 8 weeks.
