Tummy tuck

Abdominoplasty, also known as "abdominoplasty", is a procedure aimed at noticeably improving the appearance of the abdomen by plasticizing the muscles and removing excess skin and fat tissue. Women and men of all ages usually desire this cosmetic treatment when diet and exercise do not provide satisfactory results.

It can also remove some, if not all, of the stretch marks in the lower abdomen.

The procedure is popular after pregnancy (the optimal time is 12 months after giving birth), massive weight loss or when a flabby belly with weakened muscles worsens the figure.

During this surgical procedure, Dr. Rami Alshekh will remove loose abdominal skin and tighten muscle tone with special sutures, and perform liposuction of excess fat tissue from the abdominal and waist areas.

Once the remaining skin is reapplied, the position of the navel can also be repositioned.

This is often referred to as a "mini tummy tuck" or lower tummy tuck because it focuses on removing excess skin and fat below the belly button. The procedure is performed on patients who have not qualified for full abdominoplasty. This surgery is recommended for patients with minimal excess skin and is not a contraindication to full abdominal suction.

Dr. Rami Alshekh uses additional argon plasma technology (ArgoPlasma) for the above operations, which gives the patient higher effectiveness and a chance for tighter and firmer skin.

no bathing in the bathtub for 4 weeks (showering possible after day 3). Compression garments should be worn for 4-6 weeks day and night. The areas to be suctioned are sensitive to pressure. The pain after liposuction and abdominoplasty is similar to muscle pain, but subsides after a few days.
