Abdominoplasty

The aging process leads to changes in the abdominal wall, which manifests itself mainly in the form of a “hanging belly” and the formation of cracks in the skin of the abdomen. These changes affect both upper and lower abdomen and can be triggered by major changes in weight or pregnancy. In the relevant areas of the skin, the elastic limit is exceeded, so the withdrawal is limited ability of the skin or soft tissue removed. In these cases, a diet or exercise training of the abdominal wall does not lead to a more aesthetic restitution.
Plastic surgery can help here.

At a plastic surgery tummy tuck for loose skin of the soft tissue between the navel and pubic bone is removed and replaced the rest of the skin to the ribs and tightened down. In order to create a shapely waist inner Raffnähte in the muscle can be created. The scars on the pubic hair line course can be planned variable, so that he, in appropriate clothing (eg bikini) can be hidden. The navel is finally repositioned and sutured to the abdominal wall. It is often performed as part of the tummy tuck at the transition to the flank on both sides, liposuction, in the “new” lower abdominal skin a fat depletion.

If only the skin of the abdomen is affected, or not enough excess skin in the upper abdomen exists, a standard abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to make, so we recommend a lower abdominoplasty. For special indications (eg after previous surgery) techniques exist to further tightening of the abdominal skin.
The surgery requires general anesthesia, each carrying one and a hospital stay with us in the Elisées Clinic Bonn from 3-4 days. The lower abdominoplasty may exceptionally be performed under local anesthesia with conscious sedation (twilight sleep). Here is the hospital stay 1-2 days. A compression bandage (abdominal bandage bodice) is worn for 4 weeks.
