Abdominal Surgery (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominal Surgery (Abdominoplasty)

Introduction
● This surgery eliminates excess skin and fat that accumulates in the abdomen due to pregnancy, obesity, and aging. The goals of abdominoplasty are to flatten and tighten the abdomen, giving it an athletic appearance, eliminate excess skin, and reduce or eliminate stretch marks with scars hidden within the bikini line.
● The advantages of abdominoplasty include the removal of excess skin and fat, as well as the repair of abdominal muscles secondary to diastasis caused by pregnancy.

Procedure
Abdominoplasty is usually performed under regional anesthesia. The surgery is tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of each patient. In many cases, it is essential to combine it with liposuction to enhance the aesthetic result. We make a transverse incision in the lower abdomen, ensuring that the scar remains within the bikini line. Dissection is done up to the upper abdomen, the rectus abdominis muscles are plicated or “double internal corset,” excess skin is removed, and the navel is repositioned.

Recovery
● The recovery period is approximately 14 days.
● The final result of abdominoplasty, alone or combined with liposculpture, may be visible weeks or months after surgery. To achieve optimal results, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise.
● Postoperative therapies are essential after this procedure. Our team of plastic surgeons will guide you to ensure optimal recovery.
