Reasons for a tummy tuck
Abdominoplasty after weight loss or pregnancy
A flat stomach and beautifully contoured hips are an aesthetic ideal that many women and men strive for. A flat stomach indicates a healthy, active lifestyle and contributes to satisfaction and self-confidence in many people.
Problems caused by skin laxity or weak abdominal muscels
Skin laxity or weak abdominal muscels can cause psychological as well as health problems: Redness and inflammation but also heavy sweating are among them.
Many people are uncomfortable or even embarrassed by the appearance of their belly. Visits to outdoor swimming pools or saunas are often avoided and the purchase of clothing is also problematic.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is an option:
If you suffer from a sagging abdominal wall. After massive weight loss, your abdominal wall does not regenerate despite exercise and a healthy diet.
You suffer from weak connective tissue and therefore a sagging abdominal wall.
Your body mass index - the ratio between height and weight - should be below 28, otherwise there is an increased risk of surgery.
Prerequisites for a tummy tuck
Causes of a sagging abdominal wall
- Frequent and severe weight fluctuations, severe and persistent weight loss
- Genetically predisposed connective tissue weakness
- Pregnancies
In most cases, the skin is stretched beyond its elastic limits and is therefore no longer able to fully regenerate. In such cases, it is no longer possible to bring about a regression through a healthy lifestyle and sport.

4 steps to a tummy tuck - abdominoplasty
Anesthesia for a tummy tuck
The abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Together with our anesthesiologist, we will discuss which form of anesthesia is best for you.
Method of abdominoplasty
Modern methods make it possible to adapt the operation individually to each patient in order to achieve optimal results. The skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue are detached from the abdominal wall via an incision, approximately at the level of the pubic hairline, which extends laterally to the pelvic bones. In most cases, it is also necessary to move the umbilicus.
If necessary, the abdominal wall is tightened with stitches and excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. The cut is made in such a way that it can be easily concealed by underwear or swimwear. A tummy tuck is often performed in combination with liposuction. You will be fitted with a special compression garment (girdle) in the operating theater.
Aftercare and recovery
For the first few days after the operation, I definitely recommend taking it easy physically. You will be allowed to stand up and walk a few steps for the first time on the day of your tummy tuck.
The drains placed during the operation are usually removed just one day after the operation. You will receive detailed information about post-operative care, as well as information about normal symptoms and signs of possible complications. The recovery time is approx. 14 days.
The result of a tummy tuck
The results of a tummy tuck are not immediately visible and require a little patience, as each person has an individual healing process. After about 4-6 months, you can enjoy the final result and continue to enjoy it for many years thereafter.
What patients say about us
Very detailed consultation in which all my questions were answered AND explained very well by Dr. Resch. The operation was painless, I received a call from Dr. Resch on the same day in which he asked how I was feeling (great aftercare). The healing process went just as Dr. Resch had told me before the operation...... The whole team - receptionist, surgery nurse - is VERY nice and explains all the steps that need to be taken before and during the operation....
Great people are doing a perfect job. Many thanks for that
I had my breast done by Dr. Resch, it was before the summer and I am soooooo happy! He suggested the operation with implants and it was really the right decision. Size, shape - everything is great! Everything was explained well and in detail. I was a bit scared and nervous, but I had almost no pain. I could have gone straight back to work, which really surprised me. It healed quickly and I was in the bath and had a hot summer with my new twins! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I have had liposuction on my hips and thighs. From the first consultation to the 2nd check-up appointment, I was well looked after by the whole team and Dr. Resch and the results are really impressive. I can really only advise everyone to seek help here if they have an aesthetic problem!!!
WOW! I had a thread lift done by Dr. Resch to liften my face and chin line. I am more than thrilled. My husband says: 10 years younger! The advice and clarification were excellent and no questions were left unanswered. Dr. Resch also explained to me exactly what is achievable and what is not. The entire team is very friendly and empathetic. I felt very comfortable. I was able to go home shortly after the treatment. There was hardly any pain. The check-up appointments afterwards, which are included in the price, are also carried out in a relaxed and attentive manner. For me the best beauty doctor! 5 stars!
Dr. Resch lifted my upper and lower eyelids in a single operation. The result is a dream. Dr. Resch gave me incredibly good advice and showed me before and after pictures. He answered all my questions and also asked me in great detail about my ideas in order to harmonize reality and my expectations. My expectations were even exceeded: It's now been 3 months and you can't see the scars at all. Everything is firmer and the bags under the eyes have disappeared. The staff are also extremely empathetic and courteous, and the practice is also very nice. All in all, this doctor can really be recommended! Thanks to Dr. Resch
At the end of last year, I decided to have surgery to remove my gynecomastia, which had bothered me since my youth. I came across Dr. Resch, who made a very professional and emphatic impression from day one. After the initial consultation, I decided to have surgery with Dr. Resch.
The entire procedure, from making appointments, pre-operative information, intra- and post-operative care to follow-up checks, was of the highest standard.
This is where the humanity of Dr. Resch and his team really shines through.
All questions were answered patiently and in detail, even outside the surgery's working hours.
Dr. Resch and the entire team can only be recommended!
Thank you!
As a specialist in plastic surgery and also surgery (this combination is rare to find) he is really highly recommended! He is very nice, competent and responds wonderfully to his patients' problems. What you quickly find very likeable is his down-to-earth attitude - i.e. he is not aloof like so many others in his industry. The support was excellent, his team is very friendly and the appointments are uncomplicated. I can only warmly recommend him and his team! Thanks to him I have a normal everyday life again without massive sweating! Thank you!
I have already had several procedures with Dr. Resch (eyelid lift, liposuction on the stomach and legs) and can only warmly recommend him - and his team! From the professional, empathetic and - in terms of the result - realistic consultation to the procedures in a reassuring, trusting environment, I felt that I was in good hands and very professionally looked after. I was also always very well looked after and advised during aftercare. Thanks to the whole team for the great all-round support!
I was interested in breast augmentation with autologous fat. Dr. Resch explained everything to me very precisely and also told me realistically what is possible. But I already knew from reading on the internet that only a certain amount of size increase was possible, which was completely ok for me. The operation wasn't bad at all, the girdle was a bit annoying. But hold on girls: bigger breasts, fat pads gone! Especially riding breeches and so over the waistband! It really paid off! Can only recommend Dr. Resch and his friendly team!
I had breast reduction surgery with Dr. Resch and it was a fantastic experience. Right from the beginning he lead me through the whole process of preparing for surgery, finally underwent surgery and all went well!!!! I am so happy with the results and finally feel so much lighter! My breasts were such a heavy load for so many years! Healing was also no problem and in the meantime the scars look fine! New breasts, new life! Thank you!
