Tummy tuck abroad

In case your only worry is a surplus amount of fat in the abdominal area, liposuction alone may be enough to get the wanted result. If you are unsure, simply sign up for a free e-consultation with our surgeon.

Tummy tuck is, essentially, a procedure to get rid of excess skin on the tummy. It goes as following: the lower abdomen is incised, leaving a belly button connected to the abdominal wall. Skin, together with the fat tissue, is raised from the muscles to the ribs. If necessary, fat from the sides of the abdomen may be removed with additional liposuction. Abdominal muscles are then tightened and shortened by stitching them together. Superfluous fat and skin are removed at the upper line of the incision. The surgeon then brings the belly button out through the incision and sutures it in its new position on the skin. For the several days following the procedure, the drains are inserted beneath the skin.

Tummy tuck abroad can be combined with other body & breast lifts (this is also known as mommy make-over).

Procedure

Usually, a patient has excess fat and skin in the abdominal region. Scar length varies depending on the amount of extra skin. The scar will be put below the bikini line.
In case of muscle stretching because of pregnancy, they are brought back together;
Surplus skin is pulled down and removed.
The belly button is brought through the skin to its normal location. The scars are hidden in the bikini line. They will be hidden, but they do exist. The scars can stretch over time because of tension. If anything, they can be bettered in one year after the surgery, during a scar revision.

After tummy tuck

Usually, the stitches are removed on the last day of the patient’s trip. Any hard or intense work is prohibited for a month after the procedure and it is recommended to take a rest for 2-3 weeks. For all the swelling to go away completely, it can take months. Right after the procedure, patients frequently complain about numbness in the abdominal region and thighs. The sensation usually comes back over time. Scars left around the abdomen and belly button fade over time and become less obvious.

Potential complications: bleeding, healing problems, infections, asymmetry. The skin is weakened during the procedure, so there is a slim risk of loss of some skin due to insufficient circulation of blood. This risk is bigger for people with certain types of old scars and for people who smoke. It is crucial to quit smoking and using aspirin at least 14 days before the surgery.

The whole experience has been amazing. The prices have been good, the selection process – everything so far has been excellent. It was just as good, if not better than having the surgery in the UK. I would definitely recommend it.

I chose Wellness Travels to organise my tummy tuck surgery in Lithuania and I have to say I didn’t find any problem with them from the moment I booked till the moment I left. My travel assistant Gedas was lovely. Staff and doctors at the clinic were amazing. I will definitely be back for further surgeries.

FAQs about abdominoplasty

Who does this surgery?

Stretched abdominal muscles, excess skin and fat in the abdominal area may oft times happen because of extreme weight loss or pregnancy. To alter the abdomen area, a tummy tuck procedure is performed. Though, in case your only worry is a surplus amount of fat in the abdominal area, liposuction alone may be enough to get the wanted result.

How does the surgery go? What about the result/scars?

Usually, a patient has excess fat and skin in the abdominal region. Scar length varies depending on the amount of extra skin. The scar will be put below the bikini line.
In case of muscle stretching because of pregnancy, they are brought back together;
Surplus skin is pulled down and removed.
The belly button is brought through the skin to its normal location. The scars are hidden in the bikini line. They will be hidden, but they do exist. The scars can stretch over time because of tension. If anything, they can be bettered in one year after the surgery, during a scar revision.

For all the swelling to go away completely, it can take months. Right after the procedure, patients frequently complain about numbness in the abdominal region and thighs.

What is the required stay in Lithuania and recovery period?

To guarantee your safety it is required to stay in Lithuania for 5 days following the surgery. For adequate recovery: any hard or intense work is prohibited for a month after the procedure and it is recommended to take a rest for 2-3 weeks.

What about the possible complications and what if something goes wrong?

Complications are rare. They include: bleeding, healing problems, infections, asymmetry. The skin is weakened during the procedure, so there is a slim risk of loss of some skin due to insufficient circulation of blood. This risk is bigger for people with certain types of old scars and for people who smoke. It is crucial to quit smoking and using aspirin at least 14 days before the surgery.

While you are still in Lithuania: in case you are feeling unwell or there is anything abnormal, you will be immediately checked upon by the medical personnel. Should there be a need for a follow-up procedure, it would be carried out for you free of charge.

Complication in the later stages of the recovery is even rarer and most of the time not an emergency. If they happen, our surgeon would consult you online and explain the steps to take.
