What Is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to improve the shape of the stomach. It removes excess skin and fat tissues, tightens the abdominal muscles and reshapes the contours of the abdomen and waist for a flatter and more toned profile.
Types Of Abdominoplasty
Full Abdominoplasty: Treats the whole stomach, from the chest to the pubic area. This procedure includes the replacement of the belly button, removal of a big amount of skin and fat, and offers more stable and dramatic results, ideal for significant body changes.
Mini Tummy Tuck: Is focused only on the area under the belly button and requires a smaller incision. It does not require repositioning of the navel and has a faster recovery time, making it suitable for mild lower abdominal problems.
Extended Abdominoplasty: It includes the whole stomach and side areas, such as the hips and lower back. It removes excess skin from the sides and is a more comprehensive procedure, often recommended after massive weight loss.
Fleur-de-Lis: Is performed through vertical and horizontal incisions only in cases of severe weight loss. This technique removes a considerable amount of skin and offers transformative results for patients with large tissue excess.

Swelling and discomfort will improve gradually, physical activity will restore as normal, and the final results will be visible after a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Scars Be Visible After Abdominoplasty?
Yes, a horizontal scar will be placed on the lower part of the stomach, but it is strategically placed under the bikini line and will fade over time.
Can I Have Children After Abdominoplasty?
Yes, but it is recommended to wait until you are done with family planning, as pregnancy can stretch the muscles and skin again.
Will I Lose Weight After Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure. Usually, 2-5kg of excess tissue is removed, but the goal is remodeling, not weight loss.
When Can I Start Exercising Again After Abdominoplasty?
Start with light walking after a week, light cardio after 4-6 weeks, and intensive exercises after 8-12 weeks, with the surgeon’s approval.
Can I Combine Abdominoplasty With Liposuction?
Yes, liposuction is often combined with abdominoplasty to improve body contours and to remove fat tissues from problematic areas.
