Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

A full tummy tuck removes loose, excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles, which often separate after pregnancy or major weight loss. The result is a flatter, firmer abdominal contour. Performed by Dr Nawrocki under general anaesthesia, the published price for a complete abdominoplasty starts from 29,000 zł.

After pregnancy or significant weight loss the abdominal skin is often left stretched and lax, and the vertical muscles can separate (a condition called diastasis), producing a bulge that does not respond to diet or exercise. A full abdominoplasty at Klinika Chirurgii Plastycznej Dr Nawrocki addresses both problems: surplus skin and fat from the lower abdomen are removed, the separated muscles are repaired and tightened to rebuild core support, and the remaining skin is re-draped for a flatter, firmer contour. The navel is repositioned as part of the procedure. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia and generally takes around three hours. The main incision is placed low across the abdomen, where it can usually be concealed by underwear, and the resulting scar matures and fades over many months. Recovery is more involved than for smaller procedures: a compression garment is worn, patients move in a slightly bent posture for the first days while the repair settles, and strenuous activity and heavy lifting are avoided for several weeks. Many people take around two to three weeks away from work depending on their occupation. Dr Nawrocki, who has around 30 years of surgical experience, discusses suitability — including the value of being at a stable weight beforehand — together with the technique, anaesthetic, recovery and realistic outcomes at consultation. Results vary between individuals and the operation carries the usual surgical risks reviewed in advance. The published price for a complete abdominoplasty starts from 29,000 zł.
