Abdominoplasty is classified as a major surgery that can significantly improve the shape and contour of your body. Loose skin and excess fat is removed and the muscles are repaired when needed.
Excess skin and fat on the abdomen may be hereditary or due to lifestyle choices. Loose skin on the abdomen can be due be weight loss or post pregnancy related. Sometimes pregnancy can lead to diastasis recti where the muscles separate and suturing the muscles back together will repair this.
Abdominoplasty is performed on both men and women. The result will be permanent providing a stable weight is maintained. Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction on the abdomen, waistline and flanks to create a well-balanced result. With liposuction, a saline solution combined with local anaesthetic is first injected to the area before the fat and the fat cells are aspirated and removed through a cannula.
The liquid that is injected is to better shape the areas to be liposuctioned without getting irregularities, and to reduce bleeding and swelling in the aftermath. At Victoria Clinic, we always use thin needles, which require a little more work and time during the procedure itself, but which create the conditions for the best and smoothest end result.
The procedure is done with general anaesthetic, which means you be completely asleep and free from any pain. With an abdominoplasty procedure you will stay 1 night at the hospital and 2 night when combined with liposuction.
The liposuction is usually performed first, normally 3-4 Litres of fat and fluid is drained. Thereafter an incision below the bikini line is made and the skin is elevated. The separated muscles are repaired and the excess skin and fat is removed. The amount of skin that is removed completely depends on the size of the person but it is common to remove at least 5%.
The incision is discretely placed. At Victoriakliniken we have created a special technique for low pubic incisions. The incision should be taped for 6 months after surgery for optimal healing. The scar should be very thin and have faded after 6 months.
Bruising and swelling may occur after surgery. It should start to improve after 4 days. You will be provided with painkillers. You will have a wound check at the clinic 1 week after the procedure and the sutures will be removed at the clinic at 3 weeks after your surgery.
You will be given a compression garment to wear, to reduce swelling, improve lymphatic drainage and optimise your healing. You should wear the compression garment day and night for 3 weeks and during night for another 3 weeks. We recommend LPG/ Endormologie and lymphatic drainage massage to speed up the recovery. 2 treatments prior and 4 treatments post surgery. You can find more information about Endormologie under “Documents”

We recommend that you do endermology before your tummy tuck / liposuction, to improve circulation in fat depots, and to speed up healing. After an operation, the treatment can help to drain out fluid and reduce swelling and pain.
