is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area. The procedure can help to tighten and tone the abdominal muscles, giving the patient a more contoured and toned appearance.
There are different techniques that can be used during an abdominoplasty procedure. The most common technique involves making an incision in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. The surgeon will then separate the skin from the abdominal muscles and remove excess fat and skin. The abdominal muscles (six pack) may also be tightened during the procedure. Once the excess skin and fat have been removed, the surgeon will close the incision using sutures or special glue on the surface.
Additional liposuction to the flank and back can give a 360 degree rejuvenation.
There are several factors that can affect the results of an abdominoplasty procedure, including the patient's age, skin elasticity, and overall health. In general, patients who are in good physical health and have good skin elasticity tend to have the best results. It is important to discuss your goals and expectations with our German plastic surgeons before undergoing an abdominoplasty procedure.
The recovery process after an abdominoplasty can vary depending on the individual. Most patients will experience some swelling and discomfort in the abdominal area after the procedure, which can be managed with medication. It is important to follow the post-surgical instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
If you are considering a tummy tuck, it's recommended to schedule a consultation with our plastic surgeon Dr.Chris Reuter or with our plastic surgeon Dr.Timm Wolter who can provide you with personalized advice based on your individual needs and circumstances.
