Tummy tuck in Zurich

Tummy tuck – for a flat midsection and a new body image

A toned stomach stands for vitality, health and self-confidence. However, even with a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet, many people suffer from sagging tissue in the lower abdomen after losing weight or becoming pregnant. This is because excess skin and fat deposits often do not always disappear. Particularly after pregnancy, severe weight loss or as part of the natural ageing process, the abdomen often appears soft, bulging or with a so-called fat apron on the lower abdomen.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can help to remove excess skin and fatty tissue, tighten the abdominal muscles and thus improve the body silhouette in the long term. The result: a smooth, defined abdomen and a new attitude towards life.

At Tremp Plastic Surgery in Zurich, we accompany you with the highest surgical precision and a holistic approach – from the initial consultation to complete healing.

Procedure for a tummy tuck
at Tremp Plastic Surgery

The intervention

A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the method. The incisions are made as deep as possible in the lower abdomen so that the scar is later concealed under underwear or in the bikini line. The skin is detached from the abdominal muscles, excess skin and fat are removed and the abdominal wall is tightened if necessary. The skin is then sutured without tension and the navel is repositioned.

You will stay in the clinic for 1-2 nights after the operation. You should wear a compression girdle for the next 6 weeks to provide the best possible support for the healing process and to stabilize the result. You should avoid sporting activities, heavy lifting and intensive movements for at least 6 weeks.

Reasons for a
tummy tuck

Not only people who are very overweight can be affected by a sagging abdominal area. Even slim, athletic women and men develop excess skin, rectus diastasis (separation of the straight abdominal muscles) or a bulging abdomen after surgery, due to weak connective tissue or weight loss.

The most common reasons for an abdominoplasty include

  • a fat apron in the lower abdomen (sagging abdominal skin)
  • Cracks or sagging skin after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Abdominal muscles protruding apart (rectus diastasis)
  • Restricted well-being during sport or in clothing
  • Psychological stress due to the external appearance

Surgical tightening not only improves the external appearance – many patients also report a better posture and new self-confidence.

Methods of the
tummy tuck in Zurich

Depending on the extent of the excess skin and the individual situation, different procedures can be used. The aim is always to achieve a natural, aesthetic result with scars that are as inconspicuous as possible.

Classic abdominoplasty

The abdominal wall is completely loosened in the case of significantly sagging skin or a rectus diastasis. Excess skin and fat are removed, the straight abdominal muscles are tightened (rectus plication) and the navel is moved.

This procedure is particularly suitable for pronounced sagging of the skin. The waist and midriff can be reshaped. The scar is hidden in the lower abdominal area so that it is not visible in underwear or swimwear.

Mini abdominoplasty

For smaller excess skin, a shortened incision without moving the navel is usually sufficient. Smaller rectus diastases can also be corrected. Mini-abdominoplasty is ideal for localized sagging below the navel. The shorter scars and faster recovery have proven to be advantageous.

Circular abdominoplasty (body lift)

After massive weight loss, a tightening of the flanks, back, thighs and buttocks may also be necessary. In this case, the entire body center is tightened in one procedure – for a visible improvement in contour.

Risks of a tummy tuck

A tummy tuck is considered a safe procedure. However, as with any operation, certain risks can never be completely ruled out. These include

  • Swelling and bruising
  • Post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders or seromas
  • Infections (rare)
  • Excessive scarring
  • Numbness in the lower abdomen (usually temporary)

Careful planning, sterile techniques and close follow-up care at Tremp Plastic Surgery can significantly minimize these risks.

Dr Tremp is not only a doctor but also, above all, a very decent, respectful and professional person. From the very first minute, I knew that I wanted him to perform my nose operation. No other doctor had ever given me the confidence and courage to take this step. Thanks to his expert advice, I was able to make a confident decision to go ahead with the procedure.
Dr Tremp performed my nose operation two weeks ago. I am satisfied, and I will continue to receive support after the operation, which gives me even more confidence. He takes the time to discuss any concerns.
I would have Dr. Tremp operate on me again anytime. He is simply an excellent doctor who always puts the patient’s well-being first. Thank you very much for everything. As a patient, you appreciate it and it gives you peace of mind when you know that someone is there for you.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty in Zurich

The result is permanent with a stable weight. However, a healthy lifestyle is crucial.

This depends on your activity and the healing process. Most patients are able to return to work after 2-3 weeks.

With a tummy tuck, the scar runs flat in the lower abdominal area and is easy to conceal in underwear or swimwear. It also fades considerably over time.

Yes, but only after consulting a doctor and after 6 weeks at the earliest. Light exercise is possible and even recommended beforehand.

In the case of rectus diastasis, the abdominal muscles are surgically reconstructed. This can also contribute to a flatter stomach and a narrower waist.
