COSMETIC SURGERY FOR A TUMMY TUCK
What is an abdominoplasty (TUMMY TUCK) procedure?
This surgical intervention entails the removal of surplus skin and fat from the abdominal region, coupled with the tightening of the abdominal wall.
The outcome typically yields a flatter stomach and a more defined waistline. It’s imperative to acknowledge that Abdominoplasty, whether full or partial, constitutes a major surgical undertaking, resulting in a permanent scar. Hence, it necessitates careful consideration before proceeding.

THE PROCEDURE
Are you considering an abdominoplasty for a flatter, toned abdomen? Discover what awaits you on your abdominoplasty journey with Renovatio Clinic & Dr. Sofiane Rimouche:
Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Sof. He’ll attentively listen to your concerns, assess your abdominal structure, and discuss your aesthetic objectives. Through a comprehensive examination, Dr. Sof determines if an abdominoplasty aligns with your goals.
Preparation: On the procedure day, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility primed for your surgery. Dr. Sof and his team prioritise your comfort, ensuring you’re at ease before administering anaesthesia.
Surgical Approach: Dr. Sof employs advanced techniques to remove excess skin and fat, tighten abdominal muscles, and enhance contouring. Abdominoplasty targets both upper and lower abdomen for comprehensive results.
Incision Placement: Dr. Sof will carefully create a horizontal incision above the pubic area, strategically positioned within the bikini line’s natural contours for discreet concealment. Through this incision, he adeptly removes excess skin and fat and may tighten underlying muscles to refine abdominal contours.
Closing Incisions and Recovery: Post-procedure, Dr. Sof closes the incisions with sutures and applies appropriate dressings. You’ll receive attentive monitoring in the recovery area before discharge, along with detailed post-operative instructions. Dr. Sof schedules follow-up appointments to oversee your progress, address any concerns, and facilitate a seamless recovery journey.
Results: Throughout your recovery from the abdominoplasty, you’ll notice a gradual transformation in your lower abdomen—marked by increased firmness, flattening, and enhanced tone. Dr. Sof’s surgery aims to give results that harmonise with your body’s natural contours, fostering a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Abdominoplasty surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks and complications. These may include infection, bleeding, fluid accumulation, scarring, and asymmetry.

During your consultation, Dr. Sof will discuss these potential risks in detail, ensuring you have all the information you need to make informed decisions about your procedure.
THINGS TO AVOID AFTER Abdominoplasty SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Strenuous Activities: Avoid engaging in strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, intense exercise, or bending over for several weeks following surgery to prevent complications and promote proper healing.
- Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol as they can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications such as poor wound healing and infection.
- Tight Clothing: Avoid wearing tight clothing that puts pressure on the surgical area, as this can interfere with blood circulation and delay healing.
- Sun Exposure: Minimise sun exposure to the surgical area to prevent hyperpigmentation and scarring. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF and protective clothing.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure optimal healing and results.
