Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery performed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, as well as to strengthen the abdominal muscles. It is an excellent option for those people who, despite leading a healthy life and exercising, cannot eliminate that "love handle" or abdominal flaccidity.

Why perform an abdominoplasty?

• Excess skin: After large weight losses, pregnancies or hormonal changes, abdominal skin can lose elasticity and become sagging.
• Separated abdominal muscles: Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles that usually occurs after pregnancy and can cause a bulge in the midline of the abdomen.
• Fat deposits: Fat accumulated in the abdominal area can be difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise.

Types of abdominoplasty

• Complete abdominoplasty: A large amount of skin and fat is removed, and a larger incision is made.
• Miniabdominoplasty: A smaller amount of skin and fat is removed, and the incision is smaller. Only the lower abdomen is treated.
• Circumferential abdominoplasty: It is combined with liposuction to remove fat from the flanks and back.

Benefits of abdominoplasty

• Flat and firm abdomen: Excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are strengthened.
• Improved silhouette: A more defined waist and a more attractive body profile are achieved.
• Increased self-esteem: A flat abdomen can improve self-confidence.
