Abdominoplasty is performed to correct changes in the contour of the abdomen as a result of weight fluctuations, changes after pregnancies, or after bariatric surgeries for weight loss.

During the surgery, excess skin from the abdomen is removed and the muscles of the abdominal wall are strengthened, resulting in a firm and flat abdomen. In some patients, liposculpture on the back and waist can be performed simultaneously to achieve a more suitable body contour.

It is important to remember that the surgery is not for weight loss, so patients with overweight or obesity issues are not candidates for this type of procedure. It is recommended to follow an exercise routine and balanced diet after the surgery to optimize and maintain the results.
