Excess tissue in the abdominal area is not only aesthetically unpleasant, but also functional. The patients affected usually suffer greatly and wish they could feel comfortable in their skin again. There are many causes of sagging abdominal tissue. Pregnancy and rapid weight loss are the main causes.
The prolonged stretching of the abdominal wall can cause the elastic fibres of the skin to tear. If there is then a rapid reduction in the abdominal circumference, the skin can no longer shrink with it and cannot adapt to the new silhouette. In addition, the straight abdominal muscles also diverge due to the increased volume. If this gap remains between the muscle bellies after childbirth or weight loss, for example, it is referred to as rectus diastasis. Both the extended skin and the widened gap between the muscles cannot be completely eliminated despite intensive exercise.
A tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthetic. A different surgical method is used depending on the individual findings. If the excess skin is only below the belly button, a so-called mini abdominoplasty can be performed. If the entire abdomen is affected, the belly button must also be moved. Liposuction of the flanks is often used to achieve the best possible aesthetic result.
Look forward to the new you. Arrange your consultation with Dr Tatjana Lanaras now.
(Initial consultation to the value of CHF 150 will be credited when a procedure is carried out).
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that aims to make the abdominal area flatter and firmer by removing excess skin and fat and, if necessary, also tightening the abdominal muscles.
If you are not sure which aesthetic treatments are best suited to your individual needs, we recommend a no-obligation consultation with one of our dermatologists. The consultation costs CHF 100 and takes about 20 minutes. This amount will be deducted from the cost of your aesthetic treatment. The consultation costs and aesthetic services must be paid directly on site after the procedure. In order to be able to assess your facial skin in the best possible way, please come to the aesthetic consultation without make-up.
The following payment conditions apply to so-called self-pay services, which are not covered by TARMED and are therefore not covered by health insurance: 30 days total amount, or the option to make partial payments of your choice with attractive interest rates (minimum payment 5% of the outstanding amount per month). In case of insufficient creditworthiness, no invoice can be issued and the amount is due immediately after the treatment on site. If necessary, creditworthiness can be clarified in advance.
Appointments that have already been made can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. Please inform us by phone, email, Whatsapp or a voice message on the answering machine. To cancel an appointment booked online, use the cancel button in the confirmation email. If an appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the appointment or not canceled at all (no-show), the patient is liable for compensation. If a treatment can no longer be carried out due to a patient delay, the obligation to pay compensation also applies.
