Abdominoplasty is a common procedure in the field of plastic surgery. Sagging abdominal skin can be caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss or even genetic factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muscle training only helps to a limited extent, as it has only a minimal effect on the weak connective tissue. An abdominal wall that is sagging in folds can still hang limply over an otherwise firm muscle layer, even with intensive exercise. The abdominal skin often has tears. This is a sign of irreversible slackening of the connective tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following you will learn more about the tummy tuck, the modern form of lipoabdominoplasty and possible alternatives such as liposuction<\/a>. You will also find useful complementary treatments or operations\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will receive objective and honest information about all the details regarding the effectiveness and duration of a possible tummy tuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Useful intervals for repetition are shown as well as prejudices and facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With every operation, patients take certain risks: possible complications are discussed honestly and options for avoiding them are presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common questions is about the cost of the operation. Beauty Concepts provides transparent information about reasonable budgets and costs of treatments and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n synonyms<\/strong>: Lipo-abdominoplasty (=tummy tuck with liposuction immediately preceding it), abdominoplasty, mini-abdominoplasty<\/p>\n principle<\/strong>: Mini-abdominoplasty=lower abdominal area \u2013 sometimes with loosening and lowering of the belly button<\/p>\n Abdominoplasty = area from the lower abdomen to the navel \u2013 the navel is cut or removed and reinserted\/reconstructed in the appropriate place<\/p>\n Lipo-abdominoplasty=same procedure is prepared and optimized by extensive liposuction, blood vessels and lymph vessels are better protected, more options in terms of body shaping<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n The excess skin on the abdomen is removed and the abdomen is thus made firmer<\/p>\n The excess volume is removed immediately (the maximum possible effect of liposuction per region is approximately 70-80%).<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n On average, a lipo-abdominoplasty takes 2-3 hours usually only after major weight changes<\/p>\n or even after pregnancy<\/p>\n or severe tissue deterioration for other reasons (e.g. aging)<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n abdomen, upper abdomen, hips, etc. Essentially, these are fundamental decisions<\/strong>that constitute a tummy tuck.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n Should I have a tummy tuck do it at all?<\/strong> \u2013 Sometimes it is better not to do something at all.<\/p>\n Good advice highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of an operation \u2013 and thus helps you make the right decision.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n Cut:<\/strong> an incision in the area and length of a normal Caesarean section scar is always necessary (mini abdominoplasty). This creates a tightening effect, especially in the lower abdomen. To improve the area around the navel, the navel can be detached at its base and pulled down to a certain extent (depending on the position of the existing navel, a few cm are possible here before the navel sits too low and looks unnatural)<\/p>\n If more tissue and excess skin is removed and an effect is to be created in the upper abdomen as well, the navel is cut around. The cut in the bikini area is then a few centimeters longer than a normal Caesarean section scar. The more the cut length is saved here, the more likely the transition at the end of the scar is to be disrupted and can bulge (plastic surgeons call this a "dog-ear"). As more tissue is removed and there is more tension on the scar, the scar can also be somewhat wider. To prevent this, a small cut is sometimes made vertically upwards from the bikini scar to capture the navel hole.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n Umbilical hernia? Rectus diastasis?<\/strong><\/p>\n Especially after pregnancy, excess skin can be accompanied by an umbilical hernia or rectus diastasis, which can be treated in the same operation. Therefore, the abdominal wall should always be examined carefully before the planned operation in order to discuss the possible sensible procedure, if possible before the operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n Navel and scar:<\/strong> Depending on the shape of the navel, there are different options for the navel. The classic procedure is to cut around the navel, move the abdominal (skin and fat) tissue downwards over the navel, and then fit the navel back into the abdominal tissue in its existing position. In some cases, however, it can be less conspicuous if the navel is completely removed and fitted into the abdominal tissue in an ideal position and reconstruct a depression. This eliminates the round scar around the navel.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n liposuction and tummy tuck (=lipoabdominoplasty)<\/strong>: definitely makes sense and is, in my opinion, the more modern version of the classic tummy tuck, where only a block of tissue is removed and the wound edges are sewn back together.<\/p>\n During lipoabdominoplasty, a large amount of fat is removed before the excess skin is removed (including from the lower abdomen, which is actually then removed). This may prolong the operation time somewhat, but has the following advantages:<\/p>\n Scar:<\/strong> Cut = scar \u2013 there are no \u201cinvisible scars\u201d. The more tension a scar is subjected to, the wider it can be. I usually try to keep the cut as low as possible so that it is covered as much as possible with normal underwear or even with a slightly wider bikini. That\u2019s why it makes sense for marking before surgery<\/strong> his bring your favorite underwear or bikini bottom<\/strong>Even if the scar moves upwards a little as the wound heals, there is a good chance that the scar will remain in an area that can be covered with normal underwear or a slightly wider bikini bottom.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n the scar after a tummy tuck is always \u201cinvisible\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n Incision = scar: even if you try everything to make it as inconspicuous as possible, the quality of the scar varies greatly from patient to patient. Of course, there are cases with very delicate and very inconspicuous scars. But then, with the same technique, there are also cases with wide, firm and noticeable scars, even to the point of scar overgrowth.<\/p>\n And of course there are ways to work on the quality of the scar after the operation (cutting it out again, injecting hyaluronic acid or cortisone, laser or similar, medical needling, and much more). The scar can also usually be covered with underwear or trousers - provided it is deep enough and actually stays there.<\/p>\n But if you expect an \u201cinvisible scar\u201d and don\u2019t want one, you should not opt for a tummy tuck.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n If necessary, you can also find out more about side effects and undesirable results online: more pictures can be found online, for example on U-tube series such as BOTCHED<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, with appropriate preparation, planning and execution, aesthetic operations are usually well-calculable operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n details<\/strong> Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents<\/p>\n In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, preliminary examinations, precise examination and analysis of the abdominal region, etc.), and the surgeon's experience are important factors for the success of lipoabdominoplasty (= tummy tuck with preparatory liposuction).<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n Possible anesthesia<\/strong>forms for lipoabdominoplasty<\/p>\n Deadlines must be met in Austria (surgical information and anesthesia information) \u2013 this means that once you decide to have a tummy tuck, you have to wait at least 3-4 weeks, but often longer.<\/p>\n adjusting compression garments<\/p>\n Do not take any blood-thinning medication 10 days before surgery<\/p>\n for smokers: 2 weeks before and after the operation, stop smoking (or at least limit it as much as possible) \u2013 otherwise the wound healing will suffer from the nicotine and the anesthesia will also be better tolerated after a smoking break<\/p>\n We will inform you if a psychological report<\/strong><\/a> may be necessary before your surgery.<\/p>\n THINKING POSITIVELY \u2013 helps.
