Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty at Plastika Praha removes the apron of loose abdominal skin and tightens stretched abdominal-wall muscles that diet and exercise cannot fix after pregnancy or major weight loss. The clinic's published list prices a complete tummy tuck from 65,000 Kč, the combined abdominoplasty-with-liposuction from 74,000 Kč, and a mini version addressing only the lower abdominal fold from 49,000 Kč. MUDr. Tomáš Doležal operates personally under general anesthesia, with recovery starting on the clinic's inpatient ward in private single rooms under 24-hour medical supervision.

Pregnancy and significant weight loss permanently change the abdominal wall in ways exercise cannot reverse: skin stretched beyond its elastic limit stays loose, and the rectus abdominis muscles can separate at the midline (diastasis recti), leaving a bulge no number of crunches will flatten. Abdominoplasty addresses both — removing the redundant skin and fat between the navel and pubis and suturing the separated muscles back to the midline, restoring a flat, firm abdominal profile. **Complete abdominoplasty (from 65,000 Kč):** Through a low horizontal incision placed to hide under underwear, the skin and fat apron is removed, the muscle diastasis repaired with permanent sutures, the navel repositioned through the redraped skin, and the wound closed in layers. The operation takes around 2.5–3.5 hours under general anesthesia. **Abdominoplasty with liposuction (from 74,000 Kč):** Adds liposuction of the flanks or upper abdomen in the same session, sculpting the waistline so the result reads as a contoured torso rather than just a flatter front. **Mini-abdominoplasty (from 49,000 Kč):** For patients whose laxity is limited to the fold below the navel — a shorter incision, no navel repositioning, lighter recovery. **Hospitalization and recovery:** Patients recover on the clinic's ward (single rooms with private bathroom, 2,500 Kč/day) typically for 1–2 nights. You walk slightly bent forward the first days to protect the repair, straighten over 1–2 weeks, wear a compression garment 6 weeks, and return to desk work in 2–3 weeks; lifting and sport wait roughly 6–8 weeks. The scar is long but low, fading substantially over 12 months. **Candidacy:** Best results come at a stable weight, with future pregnancies completed (pregnancy after muscle repair can stretch it again). Dr. Doležal assesses skin, fat, and muscle separation at the 500 Kč consultation and advises whether the full, combined, or mini procedure — or liposuction alone — fits your anatomy.
