Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Renomé Clinic performs the full range of abdominoplasty techniques: mini-abdominoplasty for limited lower-abdominal skin excess, standard abdominoplasty with muscle repair for post-pregnancy laxity and diastasis recti, Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty for massive-weight-loss patients needing both vertical and horizontal skin removal, and 360° circumferential abdominoplasty that addresses the abdomen, flanks, and lower back in one operation. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia by board-certified plastic surgeons, usually combined with flank liposuction for a harmonious contour, with one to two nights' stay and a structured follow-up schedule.

Abdominoplasty corrects what exercise cannot: stretched abdominal skin, a lax or separated rectus muscle wall (diastasis recti), and the overhanging skin apron that commonly follows pregnancy or major weight loss. **Techniques at Renomé Clinic:** *Mini-abdominoplasty (from 54,000 Kč):* For patients with good upper-abdominal tone but loose skin and mild bulging below the navel. A shorter, low incision removes the infra-umbilical skin excess; the navel itself is not repositioned. Fastest recovery of the abdominoplasty family. *Standard abdominoplasty (from 69,000 Kč):* The full procedure — a hip-to-hip incision placed low enough to hide under underwear, plication (suture-tightening) of the separated rectus muscles along their full length, removal of excess skin between the navel and pubis, and re-siting of the navel. Typically combined with flank liposuction to define the waist. *Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty (from 69,000 Kč):* Adds a vertical midline excision to the horizontal one, removing skin excess in both dimensions. Indicated after massive weight loss (commonly post-bariatric), where circumferential horizontal laxity alone cannot be corrected with a standard pattern. *360° abdominoplasty (from 174,000 Kč):* A circumferential lower body lift extending the incision around the flanks and lower back — removing the rolling skin excess of the entire trunk and lifting the lateral thighs and buttocks. The clinic also offers a separate body lift (from 70,000 Kč) and full body-contouring programme (from 112,000 Kč) for staged post-weight-loss reconstruction. **The process:** Consultation with assessment of skin quality, muscle wall, and any hernia; in-house preoperative examination; 2–4 hour operation under general anaesthesia; 1–2 nights' stay with drains in most cases. An abdominal binder is worn for 6 weeks. Walking begins the same evening; desk work is realistic at 2 weeks and sport from 6–8 weeks. Patients planning further pregnancies or significant weight change are usually advised to postpone surgery, as both can compromise the result.
