When the mirror no longer shows what you feel inside
After childbirth, significant weight loss, or the passage of time, the skin of the abdomen may sag, and the abdominal wall may lose its support. The changing body image is not always aesthetic, and many patients experience insecurity and tension because of it.
Despite regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, loose skin and stretched muscles can often only be restored through surgery.

Process
Learn about the personalized process of abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is always a personalized process, guided by our experienced surgeon. The goal is for you to know exactly what is happening and feel safe and prepared throughout the process.
01 / Consultation and planning
During the first meeting, our surgeon will conduct a detailed assessment of the condition of the skin, abdominal wall, and muscles. The patient's goals, proposed surgical solutions, and expected results will be discussed. Financing issues will be discussed with the patient coordinator. If the patient decides to undergo the procedure, detailed planning and simulation before the surgery will help to reach a joint decision and ensure accurate execution.
02 / Preparation and medical examinations
Before the surgery, a complete examination is performed, which includes laboratory, ECG and internal medicine checks. It is recommended to avoid smoking, blood thinning medications and alcohol. We will discuss all the details in advance so that everything goes smoothly on the day of the surgery.
03 / Intervention with our experienced surgeons
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of two to three hours. In addition to removing excess skin and fatty tissue, the stretched abdominal muscles are also strengthened, so the result will be more aesthetically pleasing and functionally stable. After the surgery, our patient will be placed in their own, premium room, where they can rest in comfortable conditions and under constant medical supervision.
04 / Healing, control, aftercare
After the surgery, you will be observed for a few days at the clinic, where regeneration takes place in a comfortable and safe environment. In the first weeks, it is recommended to wear compression clothing, avoid physical exertion and gradually introduce movement. During the check-ups, our doctors will monitor the healing process to ensure that the result is long-lasting and harmonious.

Feedback from our patients
After a significant weight loss, not only the body but also the self-image changes. For many of our patients, abdominoplasty is not just an aesthetic decision, but the end of a long journey and a symbol of a new beginning.
"I lost over 20 kilos, it was a lot of work, but the loose skin always reminded me of where I started from. After the surgery, that period is finally over. For the first time, I feel that my appearance reflects what I feel deep down: I am stronger, healthier and more confident."
Myths and realities about abdominoplasty
There are many misconceptions about abdominoplasty. Our clinic's goal is to ensure that every patient understands exactly what to expect and does not make decisions based on misconceptions.
“Abdominoplasty should only be performed for aesthetic reasons.”
The procedure not only has aesthetic but also functional benefits. The strengthened abdominal wall improves posture and can reduce low back pain and abdominal wall weakness.
“A large, noticeable scar remains after the surgery.”
The incision line runs in the lower abdomen, below the bikini line, so the scar remains discreetly hidden. It gradually fades as it heals and becomes barely noticeable with proper care.
“Abdominoplasty is a very painful procedure.”
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and effective pain relief is provided in the postoperative period. Most people are able to move independently after a few days and return to their daily lives within a few weeks.
“Liposuction is the same as a tummy tuck.”
The two procedures serve different purposes. Liposuction is used to reduce fat deposits, while abdominoplasty is used to restore stretched skin and muscle. If necessary, the two procedures can be combined for the best results.
“The results of a tummy tuck are not permanent.”
With proper lifestyle and weight maintenance, the results will last for many years. A tighter abdominal wall and stronger muscles provide not only aesthetic but also lasting functional improvements.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a serious decision, so it is important for all of our patients to receive accurate information in advance. The following questions will help you understand the procedure and recovery process.
What types of abdominoplasty are there?
There are mini, partial and full abdominoplasty. The appropriate type of procedure is determined by the amount of excess skin, the condition of the abdominal wall and the patient's goals.
How long do I have to stay in hospital after surgery?
Usually, 1–2 days of clinical observation are required, after which home recovery is recommended under medical supervision.
How painful is the procedure?

When will the final result be visible?
The swelling gradually decreases, the scars fade, and the final shape is usually visible after 4–6 months.
