Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure that helps reshape the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and restoring tone to the abdominal muscles. This intervention is appropriate for those seeking a firmer, flatter and aesthetically improved abdomen.
What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, while it can also repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Our specialists at Affidea consider this procedure to be perfect for those who, despite following a healthy diet and exercising, are unable to eliminate flaccidity or excess skin, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
When is abdominoplasty indicated?
Abdominoplasty is indicated for those who present:
Excess skin and fat in the abdomen, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Abdominal flaccidity that does not improve with exercise or diet.
Separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis) that affects both the appearance and functionality of the abdomen.
Desire to regain a more toned and firmer abdomen.
What is the abdominoplasty process like?
During abdominoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen, where excess skin and fat will be removed. In some cases, the abdominal muscles may be tightened to restore their firmness. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts several hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Postoperative care for abdominoplasty
After surgery, postoperative care is essential to ensure a successful recovery:
Use of an abdominal binder to aid healing and reduce swelling.
Avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting for the first few weeks.
Following medical instructions on wound care and pain management.
Attend medical check-ups to ensure proper healing.
How long does abdominoplasty recovery take?
Recovery from abdominoplasty varies from patient to patient, but initial recovery time is generally estimated to be 2 to 4 weeks. During this period, it is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity and follow the surgeon's instructions for best results. However, definitive results can be seen after 6 months to 1 year.
At Affidea, we have a team of specialized surgeons who will accompany you throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the postoperative follow-up, to ensure the best results and optimal recovery.
