Abdominoplasty Madrid Spain

Stylize your abdomen and eliminate excess skin and fat.

The abdomen is a fundamental part of the aesthetics of our body, and can often suffer the ravages of time, overweight and other factors such as pregnancy in the case of women. This is why abdominal reconstruction techniques have enjoyed great popularity in recent years. The abdominoplasty in Madrid Spainabdominoplasty, or abdominal dermolipectomy, is a surgical procedure that allows us to give back to our abdomen a stylized and healthy figure.

At Sculpture Clinic we are specialists in body surgery, always surrounded by the best team of professionals. We will perform a detailed study of your abdomen as well as your medical history, to recommend the intervention that best suits your needs.

What does abdominoplasty consist of?

With this procedure we can also eliminate scars left from previous surgical procedures, as well as stretch marks. We eliminate the aesthetics of the globular abdomen, allowing you to enjoy a more stylized and visually attractive waist.

Due to various circumstances such as excessive weight loss in a short period of time, aging and other factors such as pregnancy, it is normal for our abdominal region to lose firmness and suffer from aesthetic and health problems such as excess fatty tissue or skin.

These problems can be corrected quickly and effectively with an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck. This is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from this area.

For an abdominoplasty we must evaluate different factors, such as the quality of the skin, the amount of it and where the excess fat is located. All this is done through a previous study in the clinic in which we will evaluate both the needs and expectations of the operation.

How is the abdominoplasty process in Madrid Spain?

For this procedure we apply general anesthesia, which will not let us know anything during the whole process. Once anesthetized, we proceed to make an incision with the intention of hiding it as much as possible.

The objective of this process is to improve the shape of the abdomen, eliminating other imperfections, such as stretch marks and excess skin. We reshape the shape of the musculature and remove excess abdominal fat.

Usually, we can associate abdominoplasty with the technique of liposuction. This allows us to remove fatty tissues from adjacent areas, such as the flanks of the torso. With this we will not only improve the appearance of our abdomen, but we will also have a better silhouette in general terms.

Once the operation is finished, a relative rest of about 10 days is recommended. This is the approximate time that must pass for us to resume our routine and daily tasks.

It is also essential to wear a compressive garment in the abdominal area continuously throughout the first month. This will allow us to substantially reduce the discomfort caused by the intervention.

After one month we can progressively resume physical exercise, always taking special care of the abdominal area. The area will remain somewhat swollen for 3 or four months. After this time we will be able to see the definitive results of our abdominoplasty.

For whom is abdominoplasty indicated?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that is recommended for all those older people who have excess skin and fat, as well as flaccidity in the abdominal area.

With an abdominoplasty we can eliminate all those excesses of fat that are more difficult to correct with diet and exercise. It is recommended equally for both men and women.

Whenever we lose a considerable amount of weight, in a short time it is normal for the skin to look flaccid, since it has expanded a lot due to the excess weight and then it is difficult to recover its previous shape.

The same is true for pregnant women. The skin dilates and, especially in older patients, it hardly ever returns to the way it was.

In general, a good state of health is required to undergo abdominoplasty. If we suffer from coagulation problems, we are not suitable patients for this procedure. If we are habitual smokers, we may have problems in the healing process.

Frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty

Am I an ideal candidate for abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty is a procedure for both men and women who have excess skin and fat in the abdomen. Either by losing a lot of weight in a short time or by pregnancy, in the case of women.

This procedure is chosen when the skin is very dilated and it is not possible to regain its shape through diet and exercise.

The patient must be over 18 years of age, in good general health and have good skin quality.

How long does the abdominoplasty procedure take?

Tummy tuck surgery lasts between two and six hours, and is performed under general anesthesia. The length of time will depend on the type of abdominoplasty to be performed and the amount of skin and fat to be removed. In addition, it can be extended if performed with other procedures such as liposuction.

When will I be able to resume my normal activities after abdominoplasty?

After undergoing this procedure, the patient remains hospitalized for one to three days. Then he/she will have to rest at home. After ten days, the patient may resume normal activities, as long as they do not require much physical effort.

Short walks around the house will help your recovery time. However, each case is different and it will be the surgeon who will specify how many days you should rest.

Full recovery after abdominoplasty takes two months. After that time is that you can do intense activities.

How long will it take to see the final results of abdominoplasty?

The final results of abdominoplasty begin to be seen after six months; although the healing process of the scar continues up to one year.

The first week a change in volume can be seen; however, the swelling does not allow the result to be seen.

By the first month, most of the swelling will have disappeared, but you will still have to wait a while to see the final volume.

Is it possible that I may need revision surgery after abdominoplasty?

Although it is possible to perform revision surgery after abdominoplasty, it is not the most common. This is done when the patient is not satisfied with the results. For example, with the position of the navel, if there are irregularities in the contour or there is still excess skin.

Choosing a surgeon specialized in abdominoplasty is key to avoid these problems that could lead the patient to the operating room again.

How can I prepare for the initial consultation with the abdominoplasty surgeon?

Before your first consultation define your expectations regarding the surgery. This information is important to define how the procedure will be. You should also prepare all the information about your lifestyle, food, exercise, cigarette or alcohol consumption, if you suffer from any disease, if you have allergies and what medications you take.

The surgeon will ask questions about this and you must be honest because this influences the possibility of doing the operation and the results.

Also prepare all the questions you may have about the procedure so that you can clarify all your doubts.

What should I ask my surgeon during the initial consultation about abdominoplasty?

Some questions to ask your surgeon are:

What is the best procedure for your case?
How many years of experience do you have in abdominoplasty?
Where will the intervention be performed?
What will the procedure be like?
Do you have photos of previous cases that you can show me?
Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty?
What protocol is applied in case of complications?

Is abdominoplasty the same for men and women?

The fundamental difference in an abdominoplasty is the type of situation that we must correct. This will depend on whether we are trying to eliminate abdominal sequelae caused by pregnancy or sequelae caused by excess weight or obesity.

In the case of patients with sequelae of pregnancy, excess skin is localized in the center of the abdomen. Fatty tissue accumulates in the same way on the flanks and in the supraumbilical area.

When we speak of patients who have suffered sequelae of obesity, the excess skin is usually in the central area, but also in the periphery of the abdomen. The rectus abdominis is usually not diastasized and the excess fat is variable.

What is the postoperative period like?

The postoperative care to be followed after abdominoplasty is similar in both cases, but the surgical technique is modified.

If the patient suffers sequelae of pregnancy, a suprapubic scar will be made in the abdominal area. In addition, liposuction of the flanks and plication of the abdominal muscles are recommended.

The suprapubic scar of abdominoplasties, which correct the sequelae of morbid obesity, is more elongated. This allows us to remove excess skin with more precision.

How are the results?

The results of abdominoplasty with liposuction are usually satisfactory for the vast majority of patients. We can effectively and naturally correct all the sequelae produced by pregnancy or previous morbid or excessive obesity.

We eliminate the excess skin, the diastasis of the rectum and reduce the amount of accumulated fat. We will only have a scar that will remain in an inconspicuous area.

In Sculpture Clinic we are committed to perform a detailed study of your case to ensure that you get optimal results in your abdominoplasty in Madrid Spain.
