Abdominoplasty

What is an abdominoplasty or a tummy tuck?

Abdominoplasty is the procedure that removes extra fat and skin from the abdomen, while also tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. The result is a flat and firm abdomen.

This major surgery should be performed when there is a visible excess of skin and fat on the abdomen or severe laxity of the abdominal wall. This problem commonly appears after several pregnancies or after massive weight variations. We recommend this procedure to both women and men, who have a good general health and who managed to maintain a stable weight.

Which are the steps of the procedure?

Being a complex surgery, general anaesthesia is required. The surgery takes about 2-3 hours. The scar will be longer or shorter, depending on the length of the excision. However, it will be hidden by underwear.

The excess of skin and fat are removed based on the drawing made before entering the operation room, the remaining tissues are arranged and the abdominal muscles are tightened. When we have to deal with a major fat excess on the abdomen, we perform a lipo-abdominoplasty, meaning we also make a liposuction in order to make the fatty layer thinner and to sculpt the waist.

The 4D Liposculpture technique is combined with abdominoplasty when there is a fat excess on the entire abdomen. Moreover, we can also do a mini lipo-abdominoplasty if the fat excess is located only in the lower part of the abdomen. The Body-Jet technology helps us in these cases of abdominoplasy in order to guarantee better results.

4D liposculpture is combined with abdominoplasty when fat excess is on the entire abdomen, or we can do a minilipoabdominoplasty when this excess is located only in the lower part of the abdomen.

The pain will be moderate during the post-operation period and the patient can return to his/her normal routine in one week – 10 days.

All the details about the procedure, recovery and final results can be discussed with Dr. Crenguta Coman during an appointment.
