Abdominoplasty

We all dream of a flat and firm stomach. Unfortunately, in some cases, even intense and regular exercise is not enough to achieve this. Excess loose skin on the stomach after pregnancy or weight loss unfortunately does not always shrink on its own. Some patients develop rectus diastasis after pregnancy, which also requires surgical treatment. In such cases, it is worth considering abdominoplasty, i.e., a procedure that reduces fat tissue and tightens the skin to improve the appearance of the abdomen and waist.

The next step to a perfect figure

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. The skin is incised from one hipbone to the other, below the underwear line. An additional incision is made in the navel area. Excess skin and fat are removed, and a new place for the navel is created. The rectus abdominis muscles are also usually sculpted to emphasize the waist. If there is only a small fold of skin, a mini-abdominoplasty can be performed, in which the navel remains in place.

For several days after the procedure, the patient must remain in a slightly bent position. The abdomen is swollen and painful. An extremely important element of abdominoplasty is our individual Comprehensive Perioperative Care program. Before the operation, patients are taught the optimal ways to move, rest, and use kinesitherapy. In addition, we recommend using the scar elimination program (PSM).

Abdominoplasty is a more invasive procedure than liposuction, but it allows for better tightening of sagging skin. The recovery time may vary depending on the patient's health and general predisposition. The hospital stay is 2-3 days. After about two weeks, you can return to work if it is not too physically demanding. The final aesthetic effect is visible after 6-12 months.

This is a less invasive surgical procedure to improve the appearance of flabby skin in the abdomen. This procedure is not suitable for those with a large excess of loose skin or for women planning subsequent pregnancies. The best results can be obtained in patients who have excess skin concentrated in the umbilical and lower abdominal areas, and the abdominal muscles do not require additional correction.

"On April 10th, I underwent an abdominoplasty performed by Professor Artur Pasternak, MD, PhD. From the very beginning, even during the preparation phase, I felt exceptionally well cared for. Every aspect of the procedure was explained to me in detail and with patience: what would be done, by whom, what the recovery would be like, and what to pay attention to after returning home. This approach gave me immense peace of mind and a sense of security. The entire staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere at the clinic was warm and welcoming, which, combined with the team's competence, made me feel like I was in the best hands. Although the healing process is still ongoing, I can already say one thing: the results are visible, and the difference between how I was before and what I see today is significant. The change affects not only my body but also my well-being and self-confidence. I am very pleased with my choice of Professor Artur Pasternak, MD, PhD, and with the care I received from Dr. Aleksandra Rymsza, MD, PhD, who was also involved in my treatment. They are exceptional specialists with vast experience, personal culture, and a human approach, which is of great importance to patients in medicine. I sincerely thank you for such a beautifully conducted process. I recommend it to anyone considering this procedure – it is worth entrusting yourself to specialists with such class, empathy, and the highest level of professionalism."

“I had a consultation with the doctor and I am impressed by his professionalism. Unfortunately, the doctor did not perform abdominoplasty due to current contraindications for the procedure, which I regret very much, but on the other hand, he did not close the door on the possibility of performing the procedure in the future. He explained the problem and possible solutions in great detail. I wholeheartedly recommend him.”

"You get to know the best doctor in a crisis. That's how I met Dr. Szczyt and his fantastic clinic. Something that wasn't supposed to happen sometimes does happen—without going into details, it happened to me after the tummy tuck I had been dreaming about for years. I will always remember how professionally I was treated, how Dr. Szczyt always had time for me and was in complete control of the turbulent situation, how he made sure that even though blood unexpectedly flooded my pants, I didn't feel a shred of stress because I felt that he knew what he was doing and that I was in the best hands. I have great respect for his experience, composure, and even his ability to defuse a difficult situation with a joke. By the way, no one else has ever asked me if someone had ever rubbed my belly “from the inside” :-) Well, in this regard, I can promise that you will be the only one, Doctor :-) Once again, many thanks to your entire team, Dr. Potocki, who replaced Dr. Szczyt for a part of my bumpy journey, Ms. Agnieszka from the treatment room, who is a true angel, and the lovely receptionists. You are all wonderful, hats off to you! My stomach is healing, the holidays are approaching, and I can't wait to go to the beach in a bikini for the first time in over a decade :-)"

"When deciding to undergo a tummy tuck, I spent a lot of time searching for the best doctor, and guess what? I succeeded. I found the best and most skilled hands in plastic surgery – the hands of Dr. Konrad Kochan. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. His personal manner, vast knowledge, and dedication to his work are of the highest standard. If you dream of regaining your self-confidence and a wonderful figure, you couldn't be in better hands. I am still recovering from the surgery and need to wait for the final result, but believe me, the effect is already stunning. A wonderful person, doctor, and artist in his field."

The results of this surgery have not only brought me physical benefits, but have also significantly improved my well-being and self-confidence. Dr. Szczyt and Dr. Pasternak, thank you very much for your excellent work as surgeons. Your professionalism and precision gave me peace of mind and complete confidence throughout the entire process. I would like to express my special appreciation to Dr. Ewa Blicharska, an outstanding anesthesiologist who not only quickly anesthetized me but also ensured my safety and comfort during the surgery. I cannot overlook the wonderful care I received from the nurses. Their dedication and concern made the entire recovery process smooth and comfortable. I am extremely satisfied with the results of the surgery. Thanks to it, not only has the aesthetic appearance of my body improved, but also the functioning of my body, especially my intestines. If I had to decide on another surgery, I would choose Dr. Szczyt Clinic without hesitation. Once again, thank you very much for your professional and caring care."

FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of treatments and procedures.

Is abdominal plastic surgery reimbursed by the nfz?

In some cases, such as after gastric surgery in pathological obesity, abdominal plasty can be performed under National Health Insurance. Our clinics perform abdominal plasty only on a commercial basis.

Is abdominal plastic surgery safe?

Yes. During the consultation, the doctor assesses the patient's health and examines him for this particular operation. Only those patients whose risks associated with the surgery are minimal undergo the operation.

Are there complications after abdominal plasty?

A hematoma, a pool of blood in the tissues, or seroma, a buildup of lymph, may occur. Both of these complications require surgical intervention. Blood supply to the tissues above the scar may also be affected - smokers are more prone to this complication, which is why it is important to give up smoking during the perioperative period.

Abdominal plastic surgery how long does it hurt?

Abdominal plasty is not associated with much pain. Pain medications work very well in this case and cause the patient to experience discomfort rather than pain. It lasts about 10 days.
