Who can benefit from a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?

In general, anyone with excess skin in the abdominal region can benefit from a tummy tuck procedure. Ideal candidates for the surgery are those with loose skin, which can be pinched. Whatever your motivation for wanting a tummy tuck, this surgery can improve the shape of your abdominal region if you have any of the following:

• Excess skin and stretch marks, which will not go away after pregnancy
• Excess skin following weight loss
• Fat that fails to go away with exercise
• Excess fat around the waist
• Skin problems in the skin fold under the abdomen

Weight loss prior to a tummy tuck will guarantee a much better result. This can be achieved either through a healthy diet and exercise, or through bariatric surgery. At Plastica, we have both bariatric medicine doctors and bariatric surgery specialists who can help you lose weight before undergoing tummy tuck surgery. However, it is important to recognize that abdominoplasty surgery is not a weight-loss treatment. If your goal is weight loss, then our certified dieticians can recommend an individual diet and exercise regiment.

Are exercise and a healthy diet simply not eliminating the excess skin or fat around your stomach and waist? You can turn back the clock! A tummy tuck, performed by Dr. Martin Jugenburg, chief plastic surgeon of the Plastica Clinic, can dramatically improve the appearance and strength of your abdominal region, revitalizing your physique and giving you the flat belly you’ve always wanted. Dr. Jugenburg and his professional cosmetic surgery team offer patients the most advanced surgical techniques, technology and facilities, to create a beautiful new you.

Tummy Tuck Procedure (Abdominoplasty)

Using the most advanced surgical techniques and technology (Drain-Free Tummy Tuck), Dr. Jugenburg will flatten your abdomen by removing extra fat and skin, and tighten the muscles in your abdominal wall. After excess skin and fat have been removed, the remaining skin on the upper abdomen is released and pulled down (or redraped) over the open area leaving a firmer, flatter belly.

Abdominoplasty after pregnancy is the most common component of Mommy Makeovers, a group of surgical procedures designed to reverse the impact of childbearing on a woman’s body. In these situations, the tummy tuck removes the stretched skin that did not recover after your delivery. Dr. Jugenburg will eliminate any stretch marks and tighten loose abdominal muscles, leaving a more natural looking, youthful stomach and waistline.

Recovery after a tummy tuck

As with any cosmetic surgery procedure, there will be a period of recovery following a tummy tuck. You may not return to peak physical form for months after the surgery, however most patients are pleasantly surprised by the positive results of their surgery. It is important to recognize that your recovery will be a gradual process. You will need to follow a proper diet and exercise routine after abdominoplasty, to maintain your new look. Smoking is a major risk factor for wound healing and infection complications after a tummy tuck. All of these details will be clearly identified by Dr. Jugenburg and his staff prior to any surgery. In general, you can anticipate that you will experience some discomfort following surgery, but the final results will not disappoint you: a beautiful new tummy and waistline, a stronger abdominal region, and a revitalized, more youthful physique.
