Tummy tuck in Prague

Hi guys,

My name is Daniele and I'm from Ireland. I have my full tummy tuck scheduled for January ‚09 and I‘m travelling all the way to Prague to have it done. I'm happy with the medical offer I got, I like how the clinic is equipped and how it looks like in general, the location is convenient etc. But I'm currently getting a bit nervous about the whole trip .. or maybe it's excitement ? In any case, I thought I would get some support from people who chose to have their cosmetic surgery abroad. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Daniele

Hi Daniele

I have just come back from a tummy tuck with Beauty in Prague and I'm so happy with the results so far. I'm 15 days post and getting around is easier and so is standing straight.

Good luck with your surgery in January which is not long now only next month

I am currently doing my research for my own tummy tuck…have to wait for biopsies on another problem as I may need hysterectomy, so I plan to coordinate having them at the same time.

I am 36, a size 14 and hate, hate hate the way my stomach looks. I want mine to correct the aftermath of three abdominal surgeries with and two pregnancies.

I have a friend who had a tummy tuck and liposuction back in August. She was fine just days after. She said it felt as if she pulled a muscle in her stomach…very uncomfortable, but not unbearable. She was extremely physically fit to begin with, so it may have played a part in the ease of her recovery. Having been through a c-section, I expect to feel badly for more than 5 days…it was more like two weeks before I felt like me again with that.

I had breast augmentation a little over a year ago and the pain following that was pretty extreme as they went under the muscle, so I am expecting something along the same lines as they will be cutting muscle during the tummy tuck as well. I also know that you have to wear a drainage tube for up to a few days following the surgery and your activity is very limited, but looking at my friend in her bathing suit makes it seem well worth a few weeks of discomfort.

Best of luck to you and we can both come back here and compare notes after the fact.

Hi I am new to the Board and I was thinking about getting a tummy tuck.

I am a 53 year old women that desperately wants her body back to the way it use to look!

Does anyone have any positive or negative information about a tummy tuck? I have read that it is a long recovery time and it is extremely painful. Is it worth it? What are the long term negative affects?

Thanks, Julia

I had a full tummy tuck – (scar running hip to hip – along with a new belly button). Best decision of my life!!

What I can't find out is the difference in the POST operative pain between a tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck?

With the mini, they „just“ whack off the hanging skin; they don't touch the underlying muscles.

OK: so it may not look as flat but with all that skin removed, how fat can your tummy still look? Plus, it's cheaper.

Any mini tummy tucks out there??

I am also planning on a January tummy tuck. I have two young children at home and am a bit concerned about the recovery. Those of you who have had the surgery: based on your experience, can you tell me realistically how many weeks after surgery can I expect to be able to pick up my 11-month old baby (in and out of high chair, cot, etc.)? Thanks a lot.

Looking forward to my upcoming surgery…...not expecting a miracle…...just want my pants to fit around the waist without the „muffin roll“….…!!!!

A friend of mine delivered twins a few years ago and she had the same feelings about her saggy post-partum tummy that you are having.

She had a tummy tuck and she has never regretted it. Of course you would want to talk to your doctor about the risks and to weigh it all out, but in my opinion, if it is really bothering you,you should not keep yourself from seriously considering it.

Life is too short not to be happy.

Be happy! Beth xxx

I have been thinking about tummy tuck surgery for over a year, and so glad I finally pulled the trigger. I am a mum of two kids 5 and 7, and had terrible stretch marks across my lower belly and even 1.5" above my belly button. It was so bad I hated taking my shirt off in front of my own husband.

Looking back, I think my biggest fear of all was that I might not make it out from the anasthesia. While the results so far may not make me look like a 20 year old exactly (there's still some evidence of my upper stretch marks), it's still MUCH better than before.

I am 46 years old and have finally decided after years of inner debate to get a breast enhancement and a mini tummy tuck.

I plan to take only 11 days off work. My job is sitting only – no strain no issues, it is just difficult for me to get more time off.

What are some thoughts about this? I would appreciate some input.

would i be able to get tummy tuck and my bat wings done at the same time does anybody know
thanks annamarie

Are you living in Ireland and do you have anyone to go with you or support you after the op?
Sorry bout all the questions but this isnt (as u know)an easy desicion and any support and feedback you be great…
thanks ..
Laura.

Hi Laura

I am going through Beauty In Prague – It was a decision between Hospital Group & Beauty In Prague – I have had two consultations and both surgeons said the same thing ! Tummy Tuck with muscle tightening.
I have decided to go to Prague mainly due to cost approx £2600 including flights, and that I will have to rest as I have three kids and if I was at home probably would be tempted to do things ! I Have spoken to past patients from Beauty in Prague and they all highly recommend it, but I am still worried lol !
I will be travelling on my own but Tamara from BIP has been great really reassuring and has been answering all my questions as and I when I think of them ! Even the most silliest lol.
Hope this helps ?!
Sam

hi guys
i am just back from holiday put on a bit of weight , so befor i book my tummy tuck with bip i would like to lose some weight does it help if you lose weight befor a tummy tuck .and could someone tell me how long i would have to give up smoking befor the op

Hi, i am considering a tummy tuck,liposuction and if possible at the same time a mini facelift and eye (bags,upper and lower) surgery! i wondered if this could be done at the same time. Im very nervouse about it all, but feel it would give me more confidence, i feel thirty, but am 50! The idea of going to bip, sound comforting as i would be going through it on my own and to be honest scared to death,so staying a couple of nights there i think would help. I have had 3 boys, and had to have a c section with all of them, would this hinder the tummy tuck? would appreciate some feed back, thanks

Hi, would i be able to have a breast enlargment and tummy tuck at the same time and how much would it cost to have it done together ?

I am trying to decide whether to have gastric bypass or abdominoplasty with liposuction. I am approximately 140 lbs. overweight and have a huge apron of fat on on abdomen that hangs to just about mid-thigh. Since this is not covered by my insurance, I am looking for the safest and most affordable way to achieve a better body. Any tips? India? Thailand? Bolivia? Prague?
What's the difference? How to you check the credibility of the doctor and hospital?

Can I expect a abdominoplasty to get rid of my fat apron and reduce my hips, thighs and mid section? Or do I need to go through with gastric bypass? I am very concerned that I will not like the after effects of gastric bypass to my lifestyle.

i have wonted a tummy tuck for a few years now after having 4 large babys all over 9lb my tummy is in a mess lol i have had a caescarean section so i think i know wot the pain might be like but i was much younger then lol its just the though of going abroad for it that frightens me as i have no way of checking the surgeons crediblity out only by asking people who have been with BIP.
I have checked some of the other places abroad out am BIP seems bt far the best and the price is great so good that with the savings i wont my upper an lower eyelids done at the same time can anyone help me out with my worries please

Hi,
My name is Si, (I'm 22, male and from the U.K). And have recently lost 6 stone (since June) Via healthy eating and exercise! I still have more to lose (maybe a stone or two) and have been going to the gym regular (2–3 times a week) to try tone up and build muscle. But have started noticing that there is definitly going to be excess skin, regardless, and the fatty „overhang“ as most people seem to experience, (also my "man boobs don't seem to be reducing much!) Do you if there is much help available to me on the NHS? It's something that is starting to make me feel depressed and starting to affect my academic work (I'm currently in my second year at university). Any advice about what your clinics can offer is also appreciated, but obviously being a student costs are an issue.
Thank you in advance.

My tummy is fab,flat and toned. I am going to go back next year but dont know what for yet lol x

Hi Im 21 and from Ireland, I'm going to have a Breast Enlargement and Tummy tuck in June 2010. I want to go with Beauty in Prague but was just wondering if anyone could tell me if I could have these 2 procedures the same week as I'll be staying for about 10 days? or does anyone know the time period between these procedures?!

Thanks xx

Hi there I am considering having the tummy tuck as I have the bit that hangs over. I have lost a stone and half but still big and have this horrid belly. Do you have to have Liposuction to get rid of the fat in belly then tummy tuck or do they take fat out and make it flat and that is the tummy tuck? I maybe being thick here but I am unsure and confused but if all well I want it done this year maybe October November time 2010 I also want some fat take from my inside legs if I can. I want to bring my husband with me as well has anyone taken anyone with them?

Hope someone can help me.
