Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty is an opportunity to solve the problem of a tightened tummy and correction of the waistline without exhausting diets and gym. In addition, the operation eliminates excess skin and fat, stretch marks, scars formed after childbirth, age-related changes, or improper nutrition. During the consultation, the surgeon examines the front wall of the abdomen and determines muscle tone, the thickness of fatty tissue, and the skin's elasticity. Then, the doctor clarifies the patient's wishes and gives the opportunity to "try on" a tightened tummy with the help of 3D modeling. Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours. First, the incision is made around the navel and over the groin area. Next, the surgeon peels off and removes the skin flap from the waistline to the bikini line. Then excess fatty tissue is removed, and an aesthetic belly is formed. Following this, the skin of the upper abdomen is gently redistributed down and tightened. Next, the rectus abdominis muscles are stitched together. Finally, a new hole is created for the navel, and it returns to its usual place. The postoperative seam is located along the bikini line and will not be visible. During rehabilitation, the swelling will completely disappear, and the scars will pale and become less noticeable.
