Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

The stomach can be treated with simple liposuction or with a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck helps improve the abdomen, even when relaxed, to regain a pleasing silhouette. Surgery involves removing excess skin and fat, but also tightening the muscle wall.

Operating procedure 

Several appointments may be required during the preoperative phase. The first consultation includes a detailed interview and a clinical examination, sometimes with the prescription for an ultrasound. Dr. Trevidic will provide details of the procedure and its technique. It is also advisable to lose any excess weight before the operation. 

The excess skin removed in the area between the umbilicus and the pubis will be determined by a tracing adapted for each patient. The skin is tightened downwards, and the umbilicus regains and retains its original position. 

Post operation 

The surgical procedure will leave a very discreet horizontal scar in the pubic area. It will be easily hidden by underwear or swimsuits. A second scar is located around the navel. 

The operation, carried out under general anaesthetic and on an outpatient basis, will last between 1–2.5 hours. The patient will be able to walk on the same day and will need to wear a girdle day and night for two weeks. There will be moderate pain. Sun, sea bathing and sport are allowed from the third week. The results will not be fully appreciated until after a year, when the scars will diminish.
