Why Choose My Advanced Tummy Tuck Technique?
Tummy tuck is much more than removing excess skin. It is a comprehensive reconstruction that restores abdominal anatomy after pregnancies, significant weight loss or simply the passage of time.
My technique combines the elimination of excess skin with specialized muscle repair and liposculpture, creating an abdomen that is not only flat, but naturally toned and proportionate.
Main Benefits:
-
Complete muscle repair: Correction of rectus diastasis for firm and functional abdomen
-
Removal of excess skin: Removal of excess skin and stretch marks located in lower area
-
Comprehensive body contouring: Combination with liposculpture for harmonious silhouette

Optimized scar: Strategic location that allows use of underwear and swimsuits

Frequently Asked Questions about Tummy Tuck
Technically yes you can get pregnant, but it is not recommended. Tummy tuck should be performed when you have completed your family because:
Effects of pregnancy post-tummy tuck:
- Stretching of the performed muscle repair
- Possible new separation of abdominal muscles
- Stretching of already tightened skin
- Compromise of the obtained aesthetic result
Recommendation: Wait at least 12-18 months after surgery if you plan a pregnancy and, ideally, perform it when you have completed your family.
The scar is inevitable but is strategically located to be easily concealable:
Scar location:
- Horizontal in lower abdomen
- Completely hidden by underwear
- Allows use of bikinis and swimsuits
- Located in natural fold when possible
Scar evolution:
- First 3 months: reddish and raised
- 6-12 months: progressively pales and flattens
- 12-24 months: mature scar, faint and flat
Special care with creams and sun protection optimize the final result.
Tummy tuck is NOT a weight loss method but body remodeling:
What is removed:
- 2-5 kg of excess skin and fat
- Volume, not necessarily significant weight
- Abdominal contour, creating slimmer appearance
Main objective:
- Flat and firm abdomen
- Repair of separated muscles
- Removal of excess skin with stretch marks
- Improvement of total body contour
For weight loss: I recommend first reaching ideal weight through diet and exercise, then consider surgery.
Tummy tuck has a more demanding recovery than other procedures, but completely manageable with the appropriate protocol:
Level of discomfort:
- First 3 days: moderate, controlled with medication
- Week 1-2: mild discomfort, mainly when moving
- Week 3-4: minimal occasional discomfort
My protocol to minimize pain:
- Multimodal analgesia (different types of medications)
- Surgical techniques that reduce tissue trauma
- Long-lasting anesthetic blocks
- Continuous personalized follow-up
Most of my patients describe recovery as “more bearable than expected” thanks to comprehensive pain management.
Return to exercise must be very gradual to protect muscle repair:
Exercise schedule:
- Week 1-2: Only short walks
- Week 3-4: Longer walks, gentle leg exercise
- Week 6-8: Upper body exercise, avoid abdominals
- Month 3: Complete exercise including abdominals
Exercises prohibited first 8 weeks:
- Abdominals or crunches
- Heavy weight lifting
- Contact sports
- Exercises that tense the abdomen
Gradual exercise is key to maintain long-term results without compromising healing.
