Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Indication for Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) abroad in Prague, Czech Republic:

The indication for the plastic modification of the abdominal wall (Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty) is given by an excessive dermal and adipose fold under the navel, or by the weakening of the abdominal wall caused by a partition of the abdominal muscles, often occurring after childbirth. Also a greater weight reduction causes the release of the dermal fold, which becomes more and more accentuated with further weight reduction, and it does not disappear even after intensive exercise.

Cosmetic surgery: Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) abroad in Prague, Czech Republic:

It lies in the strengthening of the parted abdominal muscles via suturation, and in the removal of excessive skin and subcutis from the incriminate parts of the abdomen. The incision leads above the pubic hair in such a way as to allow the resulting scar to be hidden below the underwear. The skin is released from the muscles and stretched by pulling down. We cut off the excessive tissue and put the navel into a new position. The appearance and the size of the scar after Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) depend on the type and the size of the abdomen. In the event that the skin after Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is looser, and there is enough tissue hung on the abdomen, then the horizontal scar is placed deep in the lower abdomen, hidden by the underwear. There also is a scar around the navel, which must be moved during the cosmetic surgery at the Tummy Tuck clinic to a different place in the abdominal wall. However, if there is not enough excessive skin and fat, or the other way round, if there is too much excessive skin and fat in the mid-abdomen and around the navel, the incision must be selected in such a way as to keep the first, horizontal scar deep in the lower abdomen, with the second, vertical scar upright.
