 Abdominoplasty is the surgical term for the operation carried out to eliminate excess skin and fat from the mid to lower abdominal region. The tummy muscles can also be tightened at the same time and in the same procedure, if necessary.
This excess tissue is often the result of childbearing, or of obesity followed by considerable weight loss, both of which cause stretching or sagging of all the abdominal structures. In many cases, both surgeries, abdominoplasty and liposuction are recommended to achieve better results.

Tecnical Information: |
There is more than one possible procedure, in each case it is necessary to identify the type of problem and thus choose the best technique to correct the imperfection. The type of scars will depend on the patient’s anatomic condition and the need to correct the structures of the abdominal wall.
1. - When there is an excessive amount of body fat together with elastic skin and correct abdominal muscles the imperfection is solved with a basic liposuction, the scars are barely visible.
2. – If together with an excessive amount of fat we also find loose skin we will need to eliminate a certain amount of skin to achieve a flat abdomen. In this case the scar which remains will be above the pubis area and would be similar to that of a cesarean section.
3. – If the abdominal muscles are also loose then they must be tightened and recontoured to achieve an optimal effect. In this case the scar is larger.
