Abdomen / Tummy tuck en Madrid

A full tummy tuck is indicated when there is more excess skin, laxity or need to work on the abdominal wall. A mini-tummy tuck is reserved for more localised cases with a shorter recovery. The choice is not made only by preference, but after medical examination. Skin, muscles, previous scars and expectations are assessed. This avoids performing a technique that is either insufficient or unnecessarily extensive.

No. It is not designed to lose weight, but to improve abdominal contour when there is excess skin, laxity or abdominal wall changes. It can improve the silhouette, but it does not replace diet, exercise or healthy habits. Ideally, weight should be reasonably stable. If weight is still changing, it may be better to wait.

A full tummy tuck takes about 3 hours. A mini-tummy tuck usually takes around 2 hours. Timing may vary depending on anatomy, previous scars and whether muscle repair is needed. The estimated duration is explained during consultation. Anaesthesia and recovery are also reviewed.

It may be performed under general anaesthesia with one hospital night or under local anaesthesia with sedation as an outpatient. The option depends on indication and safety. The team reviews medical history, medication and required tests. Comfort is important, but safety comes first. The plan is always individual.

After a full tummy tuck, initial recovery is usually around two weeks. After a mini-tummy tuck it may be around 7-10 days. Return to work depends on the type of activity and individual progress. Effort and sport must be resumed gradually. Follow-up visits guide the safest timing.

A scar is part of the procedure and is planned to be as discreet as possible within underwear or bikini lines when anatomy allows. Its evolution depends on technique, care, genetics and healing. At first it may be more visible, but it usually improves over time. The expected position is explained in consultation. Postoperative care helps the scar evolve better.

A mini-tummy tuck can sometimes be combined with breast or facial surgery when medically appropriate. It is not always advisable because safety, surgical time and recovery must be considered. The team prioritises a comfortable and realistic plan. If combining is not best, treatments can be organised in stages.

Improvement is visible from the beginning, although swelling may hide part of the definition. In 20-30 days swelling usually decreases noticeably. The scar and tissues continue to mature for months. It is important not to judge the final result too early. Reviews help assess progress properly.
