Important to know: A tummy tuck at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf is a weight loss treatment. Together with liposuction, it serves to reduce stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area and tighten the skin accordingly. Abdominal fat cells have more alpha receptors than fat cells in other areas of the body. As these receptors slow down the breakdown of fat, it is difficult to get rid of the fat deposits in this area using conventional measures. Liposuction in combination with a tummy tuck is often the method of choice to remove these fat deposits. Excess skin that remains after weight loss – often in the form of a fat apron on the abdomen – can also be removed and tightened during the procedure.
Pregnancy demands a lot from a woman’s body – and changes it. If a woman returns to her normal weight after giving birth, in many cases she is still left with a visibly bulging stomach and excess, sagging skin. A tummy tuck at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf can be part of a mommy makeover that not only reshapes the tummy, but also the breasts and other areas of the body.
At our clinic in Düsseldorf, abdominoplasty is one of the most frequently requested and performed procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery. We are aware that despite all routine procedures, every person has unique needs and physical requirements. For this reason, we take a lot of time for a personal consultation and precise, individualized surgical planning. We want to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking result that harmoniously emphasizes your silhouette and boosts your self-confidence in the long term.
A tummy tuck can not only remove excess skin and tissue, but also reduce stretch marks and correct minor asymmetries. The best time for the procedure is in the fall or winter months, as the cooler season makes the healing phase more pleasant. An additional advantage: you can start the next summer with more joie de vivre and a new body feeling.
Your first appointment at our clinic in Düsseldorf is an opportunity to get to know each other, for an examination and consultation. We will check the current condition of the fatty tissue and skin on your abdomen, ask about your wishes and advise you on possible surgical techniques. On the day of the tummy tuck, you will come to the clinic on an empty stomach – you should stop taking blood-thinning medication 14 days before the operation. You will be informed again about the procedure and put under general anesthesia by our experienced anesthetist. The tummy tuck is performed through a minimal incision and takes about four hours. After the procedure, you will usually remain in the clinic for one to two days for monitoring. Depending on the surgical technique, an outpatient procedure may also be an option.
Like any operation, a tummy tuck at our clinic in Düsseldorf does not come without an incision and therefore a possible scar. Our expert surgeons place the incision in the bikini line, at the pubic hairline, so that the scar is barely visible after the healing phase.
Immediately after a tummy tuck, you will notice a visibly slimmer silhouette. However, the tissue in the treated area will still be swollen at first, so the final result will only be fully visible after several weeks.
Following the tummy tuck and your stay at our clinic in Düsseldorf, you should take it easy for two to four weeks and avoid sport for at least six weeks. Depending on how physically demanding your work activity is, you will usually be able to return to work after around two weeks. The healing process is usually complete after a total of twelve weeks.
At Aesthetify in Düsseldorf, we perform tummy tucks on patients from the age of majority. The procedure can be suitable after pregnancy as well as after significant weight loss or to reduce stubborn fat deposits on the abdomen in order to achieve a significantly slimmer silhouette or greater visibility of the abdominal muscles.
Yes, you should wear a compression girdle for the first few weeks after your tummy tuck to support the healing process. The girdle will be provided for you by your attending physician at our clinic in Düsseldorf.
A tummy tuck at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf does not affect a subsequent pregnancy. Nevertheless, we advise that the procedure should only be carried out after family planning has been completed, as pregnancy changes the body and can affect the result.
A tummy tuck is often preceded by liposuction to reduce fatty tissue before the skin is tightened. It is also possible to combine a tummy tuck in women with a breast lift to shape not only the abdominal area but the entire upper body.
A tummy tuck performed by our experienced specialists in Düsseldorf leads to an aesthetic result that generally lasts – as long as your weight remains stable. Once the healing phase is complete, make sure you get enough exercise, play sport and eat a healthy, balanced diet to maintain your firm, beautiful tummy for a long time.
