Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty can dramatically reduce the appearance of a sagging abdomen, eliminate muscle and skin laxity, and reduce stretch marks through suturing of the abdominal muscles, tightening of the abdominal wall, and removal of excess fat and skin.

It is the procedure of choice when the skin and abdominal muscles have been stretched beyond the point where they can return to their original position. However, it is important to clarify that abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight loss.

How abdominoplasty is performed

The incision is made just above the pubic area. If excess fat is limited to the area below the navel, a less complex procedure called a partial abdominoplasty may be required (the incision is smaller and the navel is not repositioned).

Combined procedures:

You may benefit even more from a partial or full abdominoplasty performed in combination with liposuction.

Surgery Results:

Abdominoplasty, whether partial or full, delivers excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin.

In most cases, the results are permanent, provided that a balanced diet and light exercise are followed and, of course, that there are no significant weight fluctuations.
