Massive weight loss results in sagging skin that hangs down in large "apron-like" folds, deteriorating with further exercise, massage or fasting.
Indications: Massive weight loss. The desired weight should be maintained for at least 6 months.
Duration of the operation: depending on preoperative findings 4-6 hours
Type of anaesthesia: general anaesthesia
Inpatient treatment
Operation
Abdominal tummy tuck, bottom lift and thigh lift are performed in one operative stage. During the operation the skin and the underlying tissue is lifted. The advantage of this method is that only one continued scar is formed, which can be hidden in the swimwear.
After the operation:
Wear a compression suite for body and thighs for 3 months
Suture removal after 2-3 weeks
Scar massage may start after suture removal
Light physical exercise after 3 weeks
More strenuous activities and sports after 3 months.
