Particularly after pregnancy, a condition known as rectus diastasis often plays a significant role.
\nThis causes the rectus abdominis muscles to separate, causing the entire core to lose stability.
\nAs a result, the abdomen can appear permanently protruding, even in slim and fit patients \u2013 often regardless of how consistently they exercise.<\/p>\n
This is precisely why exercise alone is no longer sufficient in many cases.
\nWhilst building muscle can improve body contours, it often fails to fully correct excess or biologically overstretched skin, or the instability of the abdominal wall.
\nFor many patients, a successful tummy tuck therefore represents more than just an aesthetic improvement.
\nThey often also report:<\/p>\n
In the past, tummy tucks often focused primarily on removing excess skin.
\nToday, based on decades of experience, Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter know that, in the long term, good results depend far more on:<\/p>\n
A key component of modern abdominal wall surgery is therefore the functional stabilisation of the abdominal wall.
\nThis involves bringing separated muscle structures back together and realigning the body\u2019s core.
\nIt is precisely this that often results not only in a flatter abdominal contour, but also in a generally more stable and natural sense of body awareness.<\/p>\n
Not every abdominal wall requires the same operation.
\nIt is precisely in this respect that Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter see one of the key differences between standardised procedures and truly personalised body surgery.
\nFor minor excess skin in the lower abdomen, a mini-tummy tuck may be sufficient, for example.
\nIn other situations, so-called free-floating techniques allow for greater mobilisation of the abdominal skin whilst ensuring controlled scar formation.
\nHowever, particularly following significant weight loss, smaller-scale approaches are often no longer sufficient.
\nIn such cases, traditional abdominoplasties, TULUA approaches, anchor incision techniques or circumferential body lift or abdominoplasty procedures may be necessary in order to:<\/p>\n
The choice of technique never depends solely on the amount of excess skin.
\nThe following factors are always decisive:<\/p>\n
Previous operations, in particular, play an important role in the planning process.<\/p>\n
Scars from caesarean sections, appendectomies or gallbladder operations often cause changes:<\/p>\n
That is why Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter take great care to incorporate existing scars into their surgical planning.<\/p>\n
In many cases, existing scars can be incorporated into new incision lines or made to look better.<\/p>\n
At the same time, tissue that has undergone previous surgery often requires a particularly gentle dissection technique.<\/p>\n
An important aspect of modern abdominal wall surgery today is the targeted reduction of so-called cavities between the layers of tissue.
\nIn the past, major surgical procedures often left gaps in which wound fluid or seromas could form.
\nThat is why Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter specifically use modern tension-reducing techniques such as so-called progressive tension sutures.
\nIn this procedure, the tissue is attached to deeper structures in a step-by-step and controlled manner.
\nThis makes it possible to:<\/p>\n
In their view, these techniques play a crucial role, particularly in cases involving major abdominoplasty or body lift procedures, in terms of:<\/p>\n
A truly harmonious result is often not achieved simply by tightening the abdomen.
\nParticularly in the case of tummy tucks, it may be advisable or even essential to also:<\/p>\n
After all, aesthetic perception always arises from the overall silhouette.
\nIt is often the combination of:<\/p>\n
This is precisely why Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter never view the body in isolation, but always as a functional and aesthetic whole.<\/p>\n
At the UNIQ Institute, more complex body-contouring procedures are often planned jointly by Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter, and in many cases they also perform the surgery together.
\nBoth have been working intensively on the following for many years:<\/p>\n
Dr Richter has published numerous textbooks, academic papers and delivered international lectures on these topics. Dr Wiedner, too, has been active in academic research for many years and is involved in the international training of plastic surgeons.
\nIt is precisely this shared experience that enables highly nuanced planning and individually tailored surgical approaches, particularly in more complex cases. <\/p>\n
Dr Wiedner and Dr Richter deliberately adopt a calm and anatomically oriented approach.
\nTheir aim is not maximum toning or an artificial body shape.
\nThe focus is rather on:<\/p>\n
In her view, the most challenging aspect of modern abdominal and body surgery does not lie in achieving the most dramatic transformation.
\nIt lies in restoring function, tissue and silhouette to a calm and lasting state of balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
