Who does this surgery?

Stretched abdominal muscles, excess skin and fat in the abdominal area may oft times happen because of extreme weight loss or pregnancy. To alter the abdomen area, a tummy tuck procedure is performed. Though, in case your only worry is a surplus amount of fat in the abdominal area, liposuction alone may be enough to get the wanted result. If you are unsure, simply sign up for a free e-consultation with our surgeon.

How does the surgery go? What about the result/scars?

1. Usually, a patient has excess fat and skin in the abdominal region. Scar length varies depending on the amount of extra skin. The scar will be put below the bikini line.

2. In case of muscle stretching because of pregnancy, they are brought back together;

3. Surplus skin is pulled down and removed.

4. The belly button is brought through the skin to its normal location. The scars are hidden in the bikini line. They will be hidden, but they do exist. The scars can stretch over time because of tension. If anything, they can be bettered in one year after the surgery, during a scar revision.

For all the swelling to go away completely, it can take months. Right after the procedure, patients frequently complain about numbness in the abdominal region and thighs. The sensation usually comes back over time. Scars left around the abdomen and belly button sequentially fade and become less obvious.

What about the possible complications and what if something goes wrong?

Complications are rare. They include: bleeding, healing problems, infections, asymmetry. The skin is weakened during the procedure, so there is a slim risk of loss of some skin due to insufficient circulation of blood. This risk is bigger for people with certain types of old scars and for people who smoke. It is crucial to quit smoking and using aspirin at least 14 days before the surgery.

While you are still in Lithuania: in case you are feeling unwell or there is anything abnormal, you will be immediately checked upon by the medical personnel. Should there be a need for a follow-up procedure, it would be carried out for you free of charge.

To guarantee your safety it is required to stay abroad (our clinic is based in Lithuania, EU) for 5 days following the surgery. For adequate recovery: any hard or intense work is prohibited for a month after the procedure and it is recommended to take a rest for 2-3 weeks.
