Surgical tummy tuck at PANTEA® in Munich
Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the abdomen can have many causes: the natural ageing process, one or more pregnancies, or even severe weight loss can be the cause of sagging of the abdominal wall. For many people, a tummy tuck is an option, especially if there is an unpleasant sagging of the skin and fatty tissue combined with a genetic tendency to sagging connective tissue. It can also lead to the abdominal muscles becoming loose, a so-called "rectus diastasis", and even to an umbilical hernia.
The "too much" skin bothers many sufferers, as it can hardly be influenced by dietary changes and exercise. In tight clothing, in the swimming pool, in the sauna or simply in your own body perception, this can become a disturbing problem.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue to restore an attractive contour and waistline.

Why can a tummy tuck improve your quality of life?
Many women, but also more and more men, attach great importance to a harmonious body image.
There can be many reasons for dissatisfaction with the appearance of the abdomen: the natural ageing process, one or more pregnancies or even significant weight loss. A genetic tendency to sagging connective tissue can also play a role. The excess skin is disturbing, and sport and diet often do not help.
A surgical tummy tuck is then the method of choice to help the patient regain a smooth and youthful abdomen for a greater sense of well-being and self-confidence. During a tummy tuck, a transverse scar is created in the lower abdominal area, which can be completely concealed in the briefs. The extent of the skin and tissue tightening to be performed varies greatly from person to person, and a precise plan can only be drawn up on an individual basis.
We will be happy to advise you on this during our consultation hours at the PANTEA® practice in Munich.
Following a surgical tummy tuck, a non-invasive medical laser skin tightening procedure can be performed if required.
Treatment procedure for a tummy tuck at PANTEA® in Munich
Medical treatment comprises several steps: from diagnosis through to completion of treatment.
1.
The first step at PANTEA® is a detailed consultation. Our doctors will take time for you, answer your questions and carry out a photo documentation, ultrasound and physical examination.
2.
Depending on the findings, we will work with you to determine an individual treatment plan and discuss all the options for optimally implementing your desired treatment.
3.
Together with our patients, we decide on the most suitable surgical method for a tummy tuck during the consultation.
4.
The day before the operation you should drink enough fluids and get enough sleep so that you can have the operation in a healthy and rested state.
5.
On the day of the tummy tuck operation, you should arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach, i.e. you should not eat anything for at least 6 hours before the operation and not drink anything for at least 2 hours before the operation.
6.
After the operation, our patients receive a "post-op kit". This contains useful aids, as well as hints and tips for optimal behavior during the healing phase and afterwards, as well as high-quality nutritional supplements and nutriceuticals to support the healing phase and the sustainable transition to a healthy and balanced diet.
Of course, we are always available to answer our patients' questions after the operation.
7.
We recommend that you take approx. 1 to 2 weeks off after the operation. Aftercare includes wearing compression garments or the abdominal belt day and night for approx. 6 weeks. After 6 to 8 weeks, you may resume light sports activities.
8.
Follow-up appointments are made after the operation in consultation with the surgeon, depending on the healing process. In addition, follow-up appointments can of course be arranged at any time in the event of uncertainties or questions after the operation.
9.
We take a holistic approach at PANTEA® and are therefore not only there for you before and during the operation, but are of course also at your side after the tummy tuck.

Questions about surgical abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck can generally be performed on adults of any age. However, a stable desired weight should have been achieved beforehand.
Surgical procedures that have already been performed in the abdominal region may be contraindications. We will discuss all the options in a personal consultation.
For most patients, we perform a tummy tuck under general anesthesia. The patient usually stays 2-3 nights as an inpatient at our private partner clinic.
Depending on the degree of excess skin, various methods of abdominoplasty can be used:
- In the case of moderate excess skin on the lower abdomen, the surgeon can perform a "mini abdominoplasty", whereby only the affected small region is tightened.
- If there is a large amount of excess skin, a tightening of the entire abdominal region is performed, the classic "abdominoplasty".
- In addition, a tummy tuck can also be combined with liposuction if required and after consultation.
Patients who suffer from a so-called rectus diastasis, i.e. the divergence of the straight abdominal muscles, can have this corrected during the tummy tuck operation.
The team of doctors at the PANTEA® Private Practice for Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery will be happy to advise you in a detailed consultation on which option is suitable for your individual situation.
Our patients are closely monitored in our consultation hours after the procedure. A suture pull is not necessary as we work with self-dissolving sutures.
We recommend that you take at least 1-2 weeks off after the procedure to recover. Depending on your professional activity, you may need more time to recover.
In addition, compression garments/an abdominal belt should be worn day and night for at least six weeks after a tummy tuck. You should also refrain from sport for approx. 6 to 8 weeks.
Abdominoplasty results in a longer scar in the lower abdominal area. However, this can easily be hidden in the underwear. A classic tummy tuck also leaves a scar around the navel.
By using the most modern techniques, our ultimate goal is to keep scarring as small and invisible as possible.
All PANTEA® specialists follow our standardized holistic treatment approach and have learned it in a large number of joint operations. This ensures that the treatment results of all our PANTEA specialists always meet our highest possible quality standards.
