Abdominoplasty

The abdomen and flanks can undergo significant changes due to factors such as weight fluctuations, hormonal status, age, or lifestyle. Over time, the skin may lose elasticity and firmness, affecting the shape and harmony of the abdominal wall. In many cases, the rectus muscles may even separate (diastasis).
To achieve optimal and attractive results, it is essential to choose a customized abdominoplasty adapted to each individual. Nowadays, there are a variety of surgical techniques, including mini abdominoplasty, hybrid abdominoplasty, full abdominoplasty with or without liposuction, and even 360° abdominoplasty for more extensive cases.
This procedure can improve not only the ability to engage in physical activities (which might have been limited before) but also enhance the patient’s overall lifestyle by providing a firmer, more defined abdominal contour.
Abdominoplasty Surgical Techniques and Additional Treatments
- Mini Abdominoplasty: Involves discreet removal of excess skin and fat below the navel, ideal for mild sagging.
- “Umbiligo Floating”: Removes redundant skin around the navel and repositions it without adding an extra scar in the umbilical region.
- Full Abdominoplasty: Recommended for cases with more pronounced excess skin and fat, often combined with liposuction for optimal contouring. It may include linea alba repair (plicature) and hernia correction.
- 360° Abdominoplasty: Suitable for patients requiring a comprehensive approach to address excess skin and fat around the entire abdominal area.
At our clinics, all forms of abdominoplasty are planned with meticulously placed sutures in the pubic area to minimize visibility. Additionally, the procedure can be combined with breast surgery (e.g., ptosis correction with or without implants) or even a thigh lift, depending on the patient’s goals.

Postoperative care of abdominoplasty
At PD Dr. Richard Fakin’s clinics, postoperative discomfort is significantly reduced. Typically, a temporary local paralysis is performed at the sensory nerve level of the abdominal fascia, substantially diminishing pain during the first 24 hours. Moreover, we provide a specialized compression garment that should be worn for 5-6 weeks to aid in healing and tissue adaptation.
