Tummytuck.

The mini tummy tuck starts from €5,500, the full tummy tuck from €9,800. The total cost depends on the variant, the extent of the operation and the inpatient effort involved. You receive a written cost estimate in the initial consultation (€100).

The choice depends on the starting findings. Mini: for a circumscribed excess of skin below the navel, shorter recovery, smaller scar. Full: for pronounced excess skin, above the navel and/or with an existing rectus diastasis — the navel is re-inset and the abdominal wall fully tightened. We clarify the indication in the initial consultation.

An incision in the lower abdomen in the form of a shallow W. Its advantages over the classic curved incision: the scar sits lower (hidden below the bikini line), the tension is distributed more evenly, and in healing the scar becomes finer and less conspicuous.

Yes. With a full tummy tuck the rectus diastasis (the separation of the straight abdominal muscles after pregnancy) is corrected in the same session — the abdominal muscles are sutured back together in the midline. This markedly improves the stability and the shape of the abdominal wall.

An inpatient stay of 1–2 nights. Strict rest in the first 2 weeks — do not stand fully upright, keep tension to a minimum. Compression garment / abdominal binder around the clock for 6 weeks. Desk work after 14 days, sport after 6 weeks.

Medically yes — the unborn child is not put at risk. In a further pregnancy, however, the abdominal skin is stretched considerably again and the surgical result may change as a result; a corrective operation could then be necessary. We recommend a tummy tuck only once family planning is complete.

For purely aesthetic reasons, no. After massive weight loss with documented functional complaints (for example recurring skin inflammation), an individual case review can be worthwhile — the application is prepared together with you. We clarify this in the initial consultation.

Yes. Accompanying liposuction on adjacent areas (flanks, hips) is possible and is often recommended — for a more harmonious overall picture. We clarify the indication and the session planning together.

For two reasons — one legal, one ethical. First, the German Heilmittelwerbegesetz (§ 11 HWG, the Health Advertising Act) prohibits advertising surgical plastic procedures with before-and-after photographs on publicly accessible websites — a rule in force since 2012 that protects patients from distorted promotional depictions. Second, we respect our patients' privacy: even where written consent exists, many would rather intimate photographs of their body did not circulate on the open web. What you can expect instead: in the personal initial consultation (€100) we show you anonymised examples from our own practice documentation — matched to your indication, your build and your aesthetic goal. Those images are shown with the written consent of the patients concerned, exclusively within the protected setting of the consultation, and are never published online. You get a realistic sense of what to expect without anyone having to give up their privacy for someone else's advertising.

Three objective criteria help you get your bearings. First, the specialist qualification: "Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie" is a legally protected German specialist title requiring several years of specialist training — unlike general, unprotected descriptions such as "cosmetic surgeon". Second, membership of a medical professional society such as the DGPRÄC (the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), which requires binding professional standards and continuous further training. Third, the quality of the consultation: a reputable practice takes its time, is honest about risks, alternatives and realistically achievable results, and does not push you towards a decision. At Ästhetik am Isartor the medical direction lies with Dr. Fabian Weinschenk, specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery (Facharzt) and a member of the DGPRÄC. Procedures are carried out personally by the specialist, and every treatment is preceded by a detailed medical informed-consent consultation (chargeable at €100).
