What is an abdominoplasty?
An abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned appearance.
What is a Mini Abdominoplasty?
A mini abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and fat only from the area below the navel. The incision is smaller and the recovery is quicker.
Who is it suitable for?
• Those with sagging skin on the abdomen after childbirth
• Those with loose skin after rapid weight loss
• Those with abdominal muscle separation (diastasis)
• Abdominal area that has not improved with diet and exercise
Is it suitable for pregnant women?
• For new mothers, the operation is recommended at least 6 months to a year later, once the body has fully recovered.
• If future pregnancy is planned, it is better to have the surgery after pregnancy, as a new pregnancy can compromise the results.
Recovery process
• Mild pain and swelling are normal in the first few days.
• A tummy binder must be worn for 3 months.
• Strenuous physical activity is restricted for 4 weeks.
• The final result is achieved within 1 year.
