Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is recommended in cases of significant sagging of the abdominal skin, often following significant weight loss. The procedure usually includes correction of the sides of the abdomen as well as the lower back to achieve a comprehensive result. This is achieved through a combination of power assisted liposuction and skin tightening techniques using Argon Plasma during the same surgical procedure.
This surgery also corrects the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles, which often occurs concurrently. The incision is horizontal and can be hidden low in the pelvis, while in a few cases with severe laxity, it is necessary to create a vertical (Fler de lis) incision or even extend it back to the lower back. The procedure lasts approximately 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia, with the patient mobilizing as early as the same day.
For recovery, the patient is required to wear a compression garment for 1 month. Pain is effectively managed with appropriate pain medication, and the patient can resume light daily activities within a few days.

Mommy Makeover
This term is used for women who wish to restore areas of the body that have undergone changes, such as after pregnancy. It is a combination of procedures according to the patient's needs in order to achieve a faster recovery in a single surgery. It is usually done when no further pregnancy is planned as there will be no new changes to the body.
The procedures most often combined in such a case are breast lift - breast augmentation along with abdominoplasty. These are the areas that have undergone the greatest changes during pregnancy and lactation.
The recovery is the same as for breast augmentation and abdominoplasty with the patient being able to mobilise even on the same day of the operation. Find out with a consultation in our office about the technique that is right for you and the cost of the procedure.
