After significant weight loss or pregnancy, the skin can lose elasticity and no longer fully recover. This often leads to overstretched, sagging skin. Many of those affected find the excess skin unaesthetic, which can significantly affect their self-esteem. During a tummy tuck, the excess skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The result is a flatter and firmer abdomen, leading to a slimmer silhouette.
There are fat cells in the abdominal area that make it difficult to burn fat due to special receptors. Abdominal fat is therefore often resistant to fat loss and can persist to some extent despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Certain factors such as genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, chronic stress or a slower metabolism with increasing age often make it even more difficult to get rid of stubborn belly fat. Liposuction in combination with a tummy tuck can help to effectively remove this fat from the abdomen.
If you find yourself in one of the situations described, we invite you to arrange an initial consultation with us in Düsseldorf. Here we can discuss together whether a tummy tuck makes sense in your individual case. It is important that your weight is stable and that you are not planning a future pregnancy. Please note that this treatment is not an alternative to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Results of a tummy tuck:
– a defined waist
– Tight and firm abdominal muscles
– a flat stomach with few or no stretch marks

The healing process normally takes 12 weeks. As the abdomen is strained with almost every movement, recovery can take a little longer. Most patients can return to work after about 2 weeks. It is important to disinfect the bandages regularly during this time and to wear the compression garment consistently.

As with all surgical procedures, a tummy tuck also leaves a scar. However, our experienced surgeons place the incision in such a way that the scar is hardly noticeable later on. It is located in the bikini line, directly at the pubic hairline, and is therefore very inconspicuous.

The slimmer and more contoured waistline is visible immediately after the operation. However, it takes several weeks to a few months for the swelling to completely subside. As a rule, the final result of a tummy tuck is fully visible after around 6 to 12 months. In order to optimize the healing process, careful aftercare and compliance with the recommendations of the attending physician are essential.

You will not feel any pain during the operation thanks to the general anesthetic. After the procedure, pain is normal, but we will provide you with painkillers to relieve it. Many patients report that the pain is less severe than expected.

1.
No, a tummy tuck is not for weight loss. It removes excess fat and loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles. However, a tummy tuck can be considered after significant weight loss to improve the body contour.
2.
A tummy tuck is not primarily intended to remove stretch marks. However, it can reduce stretch marks if they are located on the excess skin to be removed. However, stretch marks outside the area cannot be corrected.
3.
How long does the result last? Is it permanent?
The result can last a lifetime. The prerequisite for this is that you refrain from gaining weight and becoming pregnant and that you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Nevertheless, your body will change over time as the skin loses elasticity with age.
4.
As a rule, a tummy tuck is an inpatient procedure that requires you to stay in our clinic for 1-2 days. Depending on the surgical method, an outpatient procedure is possible, during which you will spend 5-6 hours in the clinic. This will be clarified individually in a personal consultation.
5.
You should initially take it easy after the tummy tuck. Light exercises without abdominal muscle training are possible about 6 weeks after the procedure. You can resume your full sports program, including intensive exercises and strength training, after about 3 months.
