Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and correcting sagging muscles. It is an ideal option for those who, despite diet and exercise, are unable to regain abdominal firmness.
A beautiful and harmonious abdomen presents a balance between natural protrusions and depressions. This means it is not completely flat, but rather has soft reliefs that follow the body's anatomy.
Abdominoplasty seeks to restore that natural and attractive shape, improving both the function and aesthetics of the abdomen.
How do I do it?
Basically, a more or less extended supraumbilical incision is made according to the skin to be removed, the skin and fatty tissue are released from the umbilical scar and up to the costal margin, then it is tightened distally, removing the excess tissue. The skin is sutured distally and the navel is repositioned at an appropriate height.
Time of the Operation
Estimated time: Approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Discharge on the same day of the operation, after anesthetic recovery.
Postoperative:

- Lymphatic drainage after the first week.
