The procedure for abdominal plastic surgery

A tummy tuck, like a buttock lift, is an invasive surgical procedure carried out under general anaesthesia and usually takes between two and four hours, depending on the extent of the operation.

Before the procedure itself, you will have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon, who will assess the condition of your skin, the amount of excess skin, and any diastasis of the abdominal muscles, and will work with you to plan the optimal surgical technique.

The day before the operation, we will contact you to go through the final instructions. You should arrive at the clinic having fasted and wearing comfortable clothing. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by our team, and a final consultation will take place with the anaesthetist and the surgeon, who will mark the area to be operated on. You will then be taken to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will put you to sleep.

The operation itself begins with an incision, usually made in the area above the pubic bone, similar to a caesarean section. The surgeon will remove sagging skin and subcutaneous fat from the area between the navel and the lower abdomen. They will then tighten the loosened abdominal muscles by suturing the muscle fascia to create a firm and flat abdomen.

Finally, the skin is tightened, any excess skin is removed, and the wound is carefully closed with stitches or special surgical glue.

Once the operation is complete, we will transfer you to the post-operative ward, where our team will monitor you closely. After you wake up from the anaesthetic, you may feel some pressure and mild pain in your abdomen, which we will manage with painkillers.

You will remain at the clinic for the first day or two under the supervision of doctors to ensure your safety and to enable a swift response should any complications arise.

Recovery after the procedure

The first week after the operation is the most challenging. You will experience swelling; you may also develop bruises and feel mild pain, which can be relieved with the prescribed medication.

It is important to walk upright with a slight forward lean, as this reduces strain on the scar and speeds up healing. Short daily walks are recommended from the second day onwards to prevent blood clots.

You must wear compression garments continuously for four to six weeks. These garments support healing, reduce swelling and help the skin adapt to the new shape of your abdomen. We do not recommend taking baths for at least six weeks.

After the first week, you can return to light activities and undemanding office work, provided you feel well. After four weeks, you can gradually start moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking.

You may only resume intensive sport and abdominal exercises after two to three months, following consultation with your doctor.

The scar will initially be red and prominent, which is entirely normal. Over the course of the first year, it will gradually fade and become less noticeable.

We recommend applying special scar gels and ensuring thorough protection from the sun to prevent hyperpigmentation. See our article on how to get rid of scars quickly.

Inspections

Regular check-ups are an essential part of a successful recovery. The first check-up usually takes place on the second or third day after the operation, when the doctor checks how the wound is healing and removes any drains if necessary.

The next check-up takes place seven to ten days later, when the stitches are removed or the condition of the self-dissolving stitches is checked.

One month after the operation, the condition of the scar and the overall result are assessed. After three months, we evaluate the final result and approve a return to full physical activity.

In the long term, we recommend follow-up appointments at six months and one year to assess the long-term outcome.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty – we’d be happy to answer any further questions during a no-obligation consultation.

Can I have a tummy tuck if I’m planning to have a baby in the future?

Technically, it is possible to have a tummy tuck before a planned pregnancy, but we do not recommend it.

Pregnancy significantly stretches the abdominal muscles and skin and may negatively affect or completely compromise the results of the operation. Ideally, you should plan your abdominoplasty only once your family is complete and you are not planning any further pregnancies.

If you do become pregnant after a tummy tuck, the pregnancy itself is not at risk, but the results of the operation may be compromised and a revision procedure may be necessary.


How is abdominal muscle separation (diastasis) addressed during a tummy tuck?

Abdominal muscle diastasis is a common problem, particularly after pregnancy. It involves the separation of the vertical abdominal muscles, which causes the abdomen to bulge and weakens the abdominal wall.

During a tummy tuck, the surgeon sutures the separated muscles back together using stitches in the muscular fascia, thereby creating a firm and stable abdominal wall.

This is important not only for the aesthetic result of a flat tummy, but also for functionally strengthening the torso and improving posture.

Correcting diastasis can also help alleviate back pain associated with weakened muscles.


What are the risks and possible complications associated with abdominoplasty?

A tummy tuck is a safe procedure, but like any operation, it carries certain risks. Common complications include bleeding, infection, a haematoma or a seroma, which is a build-up of fluid under the skin.

We minimise the risk of thrombosis or pulmonary embolism through pre-operative examinations, early mobilisation and preventive medication.

Scars may be wider than expected or hypertrophic. Asymmetry or uneven healing is rare, but possible.

We minimise all these risks through careful pre-operative assessment, the expertise of our surgeons and proper post-operative care.


How long does it take for the results of the operation to become definitive?

You will see the first visible results immediately after the operation, but the final appearance will stabilise after six months to a year.

Significant swelling persists for the first six weeks, gradually subsiding. After three months, most of the results are visible, but subtle changes continue for up to twelve months.

The scar also changes over time, gradually lightening in colour and becoming less noticeable during the first year. After a year, the result is considered permanent.

If you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, the results of a tummy tuck are permanent.

Some of our patients go on to further enhance their appearance with procedures such as Vaser lipo or tumescent liposuction.


Can a tummy tuck affect sensitivity in the abdominal area?

Temporary changes in sensation in the abdominal area are a relatively common occurrence following a tummy tuck.

During the operation, the cutaneous nerves are cut or stretched, which can cause a reduction in sensation, tingling or a feeling of numbness, particularly in the area below the navel and above the scar.

In most patients, sensation gradually returns over a period of six to twelve months as the nerves regenerate. In some patients, a partial reduction in sensation may occasionally persist in certain areas.

However, this is usually a cosmetic issue with no functional impact. This effect is common and expected, and it gradually improves.
