Abdominoplasty, also known as abdominal plastic surgery or “tummy tuck”, is a surgical intervention requested mainly by women after a repeated childbirth and by people having experienced a dramatic weight loss. Our clinic performs abdominoplasty not only for the purpose of achieving a perfect appearance, but we also focus on preventing the process of further slackening of the abdominal wall.

PředFollowing a significant weight loss, and nearly always following pregnancy, the abdominal wall and skin remain slack. A consequence of such weight loss are often stretch marks, most frequently around the navel, occasionally also loose abdominal muscles. Abdominal plastic surgery provides an opportunity to correct these imperfections.
Abdominoplasty relives the patients of their overhanging abdominal skin and, at the same time, reduces the gap between their direct abdominal muscles. This type of intervention has a lasting effect and if no significant changes in weigh occur, it does not need to be repeated.
Abdominoplasty is not suitable for patients suffering from varicose veins.
The two or three hour intervention is performed under general anaesthesia. It consists in tightening the loose abdominal muscles by their suturing, and removing the excess skin and subcutaneous tissue from the abdominal area. A scar is not to be feared after abdominoplasty. The incision runs above the pubic hair in such a way that the resulting scar is hidden beneath underwear.
more informationExcess slackened skin is removed during the procedure. If diastasis, in other words separation of the direct abdominal muscles is identified in the patient, they are sutured together and retightened.
For the sake of an easier post-surgery care, a thorough bowel evacuation is recommended in the evening and morning before the procedure. From midnight before the surgery, the patient should not eat, drink and smoke. Prior to the intervention, the skin needs to be degreased, the navel cleaned and any hair shaven.
After abdominoplasty, the patient is hospitalized at our clinic, usually for 2 to 3 days. This always depends on the scope of the intervention. During the first day following surgery, the patients are served a light diet and they can gradually begin walking, with abrupt movements being undesirable.

During the initial days, the patients should avoid sitting up from their bed over their hip, i.e. they should first turn on their side and only then sit up.
Drains introduced into the wound during the course of intervention are removed before the end of hospitalization within 24 to 48 hours. Subcutaneous sutures are removed in 17 to 21 days from surgery.
Special tightening elastic underwear should be used for one or two months following the operation, which can be obtained at our clinic. During approximately 6 weeks following the surgery, scars should be protected by a strip of low allergy adhesive dressing.
If the intervention involves correcting the separation between direct abdominal muscles, bodybuilding and more intense physical exercise should be avoided during 2 months.
Potential complications include allergies, infections, bleeding, the thromboembolic disease, a complicated healing of wound, etc. A whole range of preventive measures are taken at the Esthé clinic in order to minimize these risks.
