A flat, toned abdomen – many women desire exactly that, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

The reasons and motivations for a tummy tuck are varied, ranging from excess skin after weight loss to individual aesthetic needs, which are addressed in a personal consultation.

When skin and tissue in the abdominal area no longer retract and begin to sag, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) offers an effective solution by removing and tightening excess skin – an important medical aspect.

At corrigé in Lucerne, we perform this procedure with the highest precision and expertise.

 

When is a tummy tuck advisable?

The abdominal wall can change due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

This may result in excess skin, weakened muscles, or even a hernia.

Despite exercise, a “bloated” belly often remains.

All of these can be reasons for an abdominoplasty.

It is particularly the right solution when:

  • Excess abdominal skin is bothersome

  • The abdominal muscles are weakened

  • Fat deposits are persistent

  • Skin folds or stretch marks affect the abdominal area

  • Quality of life or body confidence is impacted

 

The procedure

In abdominoplasty, we remove excess skin and tighten both the skin and the muscles of the abdominal wall. In cases of significant abdominal wall weakness or abdominal/umbilical hernias, we work closely with experienced visceral surgeons such as Dr. Tarik Delko or Dr. Walter Gantert. They perform the medical portion of the procedure under the same anesthesia, while we carry out the aesthetic tightening. The sutures secure the restored abdominal muscles in their optimal position, and the incision is closed in multiple layers. We place the scar so that it is concealed by underwear or a bikini, and both the position and shape of the navel are aesthetically refined.

We often combine abdominoplasty with additional procedures, such as liposuction of the flanks or other body areas, to further enhance body contours. Breast lifts or arm/thigh lifts can also be performed during the same operation in many cases, creating a harmonious overall result.

Our well-equipped, modern operating theater ensures the highest safety and quality during the procedure. The surgery is performed under gentle general anesthesia. Thanks to modern techniques, the hospital stay is usually short, allowing you to quickly return to your daily life. Your safety and well-being are always our top priority.

The result: a harmonious silhouette and a natural appearance, with outcomes that can be influenced by lifestyle factors.

 

Typical procedure:

  • Individual consultation and assessment of your starting point

  • Surgical planning focused on your wishes and anatomical conditions

  • Execution of the procedure to the highest medical standards

  • Personal aftercare provided by our team

 

 

Aftercare

Following the procedure, you will wear a special compression belt for about six weeks. This stabilizes the abdominal area, relieves the tissue, and supports optimal healing. Even before the surgery, we recommend targeted abdominal muscle training and maintaining a stable, healthy body weight to achieve the best possible results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tummy Tuck Lucerne

A tummy tuck (also called abdominoplasty) typically takes around 2-3 hours. This surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia in our modern clinic in Lucerne. Depending on the individual situation—such as the degree of skin laxity, whether fat removal is performed, or the abdominal muscles are tightened—the duration may vary slightly. In some cases, abdominoplasty is combined with additional procedures.

After the surgery, the abdominal wall and surrounding tissue need time to heal. Light daily activities are usually immediately possible, while physically demanding tasks or sports should be avoided for around 4–6 weeks. During this period, you will wear a special compression garment that stabilizes the abdominal area, smooths skin folds, and supports the tightening effect. We guide you through every stage of the healing process.

Every tummy tuck leaves a scar in the lower abdominal area, usually just above the pubic region, so it can later be easily concealed by clothing or swimwear. The incision is made along the bikini line to achieve the most aesthetic result possible. Over time, the scar fades significantly. We support you with proven scar care methods and provide close follow-up after the procedure.

Yes. Especially women after pregnancy or significant weight loss often combine abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks or other body areas, a breast lift, or an arm/thigh lift. This creates a harmonious overall result. In many cases, these procedures can be performed in a single operation.

The price for a tummy tuck starts at CHF 13,700 as a flat rate. The exact amount depends on individual factors, the extent of the correction, and any additional treatments.

If there is a medical indication—such as an abdominal wall or umbilical hernia—the medical portion of the procedure may be covered by health insurance. The aesthetic tightening itself is generally not covered, except in rare cases.

During a personal consultation, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate and discuss all options, including possible combinations such as liposuction, arm lifts, or thigh lifts.

At corrigé, we combine the highest medical standards with a compassionate care approach.
