Informations
Most women, due to natural events, hold excess fat in the underbelly region. Often you can also observe a weaker structure of muscles in this area.
Especially after giving birth, cracks may occur in this area, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes saggy and the navel may be deformed.
When the gained weight, at this particular part of the body, after a pregnancy is added, it causes concerns and discomfort amongst women. The baby slowly growing inside the body during pregnancy causes the abdominal wall to stretch, and before birth, this tension can loosen the ligaments between the muscles and causes them to tear. Although some recovery might be observed after giving birth, it cannot return to its original state.
Some recovery is achieved with regular diet and exercise and building muscles, but the cracked and saggy skin may not be completely healed and the slackness still remains.
Apart from aspects above, women and men who have sagging and excess skin problems in the abdomen as a result of intense weight loss are candidates for this surgery.
Mini Tummy Tuck
The mini tummy tuck is a less invasive option for patients with mild sagging and fat accumulation in the abdominal area. It targets only the excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen and requires a smaller incision. The belly button is not repositioned during this procedure, which shortens the recovery time.
The mini tummy tuck is typically suitable for younger patients with good skin elasticity and overall good health. The biggest advantage of this surgery is that the smaller incision leaves a less noticeable scar. The recovery period is also shorter compared to a full tummy tuck, with most patients returning to normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
However, a mini tummy tuck is not suitable for patients with issues across the entire abdominal area. Since it only addresses the lower abdomen, it may not provide sufficient results for those with concerns in the upper abdomen. For this reason, our partner surgeons will determine which surgery is best for you. After a detailed examination, they will recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck not only targets the abdominal area but also addresses excess skin and fat in the waist and hip regions. This surgery is typically suitable for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and have severe sagging around the abdomen. During the procedure, a wider incision is made around the waist in addition to the horizontal incision, and the excess skin in these areas is removed.
The biggest advantage of this method is that it tightens a larger area of the body. It is especially effective for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight following bariatric surgery.
The disadvantages of the extended tummy tuck include the need for a larger incision, which can result in more noticeable scars. Additionally, the recovery time may be longer than with other methods, and there may be some discomfort during the healing process. The decision on the most suitable tummy tuck method will be made by our partner surgeons after a thorough evaluation. Our partner surgeons will assess your needs and body structure to recommend the best approach.
360-Degree Tummy Tuck
The 360-degree tummy tuck is a comprehensive surgery that covers the abdomen, waist, and back. This method is suitable for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin not only in the abdomen but also in the waist and back areas. During the procedure, a large incision is made that completely encircles the abdomen, and excess skin and fat tissue are removed from these areas.
The most significant advantage of this method is that it provides tightening and contouring around the entire body. This results in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing appearance not only for the abdomen but also for the entire waistline.
The disadvantages of the surgery include the need for a wide incision, leading to a longer recovery period. Noticeable scars may also remain. Our partner surgeons will thoroughly evaluate your body structure and needs before deciding if this surgery is right for you. They will recommend the most suitable surgical method to achieve the best results.
Fleur de Lys Tummy Tuck
The Fleur de Lys tummy tuck is a more comprehensive technique that combines vertical and horizontal incisions. This method is especially suitable for patients with sagging both horizontally and vertically, and who have a large amount of excess skin. During the procedure, a vertical incision is made down the center of the abdomen, along with a horizontal incision, allowing for more skin to be removed and the abdominal area to be better contoured.
The biggest advantage of this method is that it tightens the body in both directions, providing a more symmetrical and balanced appearance.
The Fleur de Lys tummy tuck requires a larger incision, which can leave noticeable scars. Additionally, patients may experience pain, swelling, and discomfort after surgery. Our partner surgeons will conduct a thorough evaluation before deciding if this method is right for you. They will select the tummy tuck method that best suits your needs and help you achieve the best possible result.

Risks
As with every surgery and surgical procedure, tummy tuck operations also include some risks. First of all, various risks and complications may arise due to general anaesthesia during the surgical intervention. Therefore, please inform us about your diseases, allergies and any usage of medication. You may have swelling, stiffness and bruising in the area after the surgery, but these are only temporary and will disappear after a few weeks. Depending on the patient’s skin structure and healing process, the scars may remain in different forms and extents. The surgeon does his best to avoid visible scars in tummy tuck surgeries. However, despite all precautions, the wound healing process can be challenging, because alcohol consumption and smoking will increase the scar formation. For scar forming reasons it is not recommended to smoke or drink alcohol during the healing process. In general, pink and skin-coloured scars can get nearly unnoticeable from the outside, as they will remain under the bikini area. You will get detailed information about the risks of this particular surgery from your doctor before the surgery.
