Question 1

What is the abdominoplasty or abdominal dermolipectomy?

Accepted Answer

It is a surgical procedure in which excess skin from the abdominal area is removed, along with localized fat in the abdomen and flanks (when combined with liposuction). Additionally, the abdominal muscles are repaired and strengthened if there is diastasis recti.

This intervention not only achieves aesthetic improvement but also enhances posture, making sports activities easier and more efficient.

Question 2

What does an abdominoplasty involve?

Accepted Answer

Abdominoplasty consists of improving the shape and function of the abdomen by suturing the rectus abdomini muscles in the midline and removing excess skin. If there are localized fat deposits, it can be combined with liposuction to enhance body contouring.

Question 3

How are the scars after an abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

In an abdominoplasty, the resulting scar is relatively extensive. Nevertheless, due to its location and design, it can be easily concealed with underwear or a bikini. Despite the scar, the change in silhouette and restoration of body contour harmony make it one of the most satisfying interventions for patients.

Question 4

Who is a good candidate for an Abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

Women: 
 • With excess abdominal fat
 • With excess skin due to weight loss
 • With diastasis (separation) of the abdominal muscles: common after pregnancies.
 • Presence of skin laxity or infraumbilical stretch marks
 • Unsightly scars on the abdomen: from previous cesarean sections, abdominal surgeries, etc.
Hombres: 
 • With excess skin due to weight loss
 • With excess abdominal fat
 • Abdominal muscle repair.

Question 5

What do I have to do in the first few days after the abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

We will closely monitor your progress, providing treatment guidelines and performing necessary care. You should take short walks, avoiding stretching the abdomen, to promote the absorption of edema by stimulating lymphatic and venous circulation.

Question 6

Will I experience pain after the abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

It's normal to feel uncomfortable in the first few days and experience a 'tight' sensation in the abdomen, but we will provide medication to manage any pain.

Question 7

When can I resume my daily activities after the abdominoplasty?

Accepted Answer

You should be able to return to work in approximately 7-10 days, provided that your job does not involve physical exertion. For sports activities, you will need to wait for a month, and reintroduction will be gradual, as guided by us, with a focus on abdominal wall rehabilitation.
