I see a tummy tuck as a reward for the long wait to get pregnant

"Abdominoplasty"

More than a year ago, I became a proud mother of twins Anicka and Vilémek. My husband and I were looking forward to them even more, because their birth was preceded by ten long years of waiting and vain efforts to get me pregnant. They were long and painful years, full of disappointments, but because it turned out well in the end, I don't regret a single minute of it.

"Iran a lot before I got pregnant"

I've even run two successful marathons. I used running to clear my head, so to speak, and most importantly, it kept my body and myself generally fit. But unfortunately, my sweetheart pregnancy was not without complications, so I had to give up running. Of course, my return to exercise after the birth of my twins was even harder. I tried to keep up with the intense workouts, even with a trainer, but after a few months I found that sports combined with taking care of my children was taking my energy rather than giving it to me.

"Still, I haven't felt the way I wanted to in my body since having twins."

I was willing to compromise and give up a perfect figure. But at the same time, I felt I would have more reason to smile if my belly looked like it did before I had the twins. So I finally decided to address my problem with a tummy tuck. I underwent the so-called abdominoplasty at the Prague branch of MEDICOM Clinic with a sympathetic and very kind doctor Pavel Horyna.

"First I had a consultation about the procedure"

And since the doctor only approved and recommended this procedure, we immediately agreed on the date of my surgery. However, compared to liposuction of the abdomen, this is a more demanding procedure, which is only performed under general anesthesia. But I wasn't really afraid of it. On the one hand, I might have been happier to sleep through it. After the operation I woke up in a nice room in a clinic in Prague, where everyone took very nice care of me. Not only the doctor himself, but also the nurses on the inpatient ward, I really have to praise them for their care of me and thank them in return.

"After two days in the clinic I was allowed to go home, but there I still had about 6 weeks of recovery"

The most challenging days were, of course, the very first ones, when my abdomen was just coming together after the operation. Overall, I had to take it easy at the beginning and I was only allowed to sleep on my back. But I remembered my pregnancy and the first two months after giving birth, when I slept practically sitting up, and I quickly got used to it again.
For the first 4 days after I was discharged home, my husband helped me a lot with the children, he stood up for me sensationally in everything. But after that I felt fine and slowly started doing everything I normally do. In the beginning, I think the worst thing for me was not to laugh or my stomach hurt when I sneezed, but otherwise my healing seemed to be cosmically fast.

"I'm very, very happy with the result of the surgery."

I don't regret a minute of going through with it, on the contrary! Of course, after the procedure, I was left with a scar on my stomach, but it can be easily hidden under my panties and it will fade with time. It is still relatively fresh, but I am ready to come to MEDICOM Clinic for a treatment with a laser at the local aesthetic dermatology to speed up the healing of the scar and its fading as much as possible.

I would like to thank everyone at MEDICOM Clinic in Prague and especially Dr. Horyn! I would never believe how inner satisfaction with yourself can positively transform you on the outside.

Mrs. Kateřina came to us 16 months after giving birth to twins with a wish to undergo a tummy tuck. I recommended an abdominoplasty with abdominal muscle strengthening and treatment of a small umbilical hernia at the same time. The abdomen was bulging and loose, with significant diastasis (spacing) of the rectus abdominis muscles and a small umbilical hernia. Therefore, during the procedure, which I normally perform under general anaesthesia, I first removed the skin-subcutaneous mound in the lower abdomen, performed a straight abdominal muscleplasty and an umbilical hernia repair at the same time. After the procedure, the client was hospitalized in our clinic for 2 days. She wore a compression abdominal belt for 6 weeks. The client was left with a scar around her belly button and lower abdomen, which I advised her to lubricate regularly and perform pressure massage. To help the scar fade faster, I also recommended laser treatment at our corrective dermatology clinic. The surgery was uneventful and the client healed very well after the procedure.
