ABDOMINAL PLASTIC SURGERY

Abdominal plastic surgery is a tummy lift. In the case of the abdomen, three elements are involved: the muscular wall, the subcutaneous fat, and the skin.

A weakened muscular wall (rectus diastasis, hernia) may benefit from reconstructive surgical techniques.

Localized areas of excess fat may benefit from liposuction.
A stretched skin envelope may require a lift.

A mini abdominal plastic surgery treats the part of the abdomen below the navel and involves a horizontal, suprapubic arc-shaped scar. A “true” abdominal plastic surgery treats the abdomen in its entirety and requires a long suprapubic arc-shaped scar + a periumbilical scar.
