Abdominoplasty

This is an abdominoplasty procedure that tightens sagging skin and tissue in the lower abdomen.

Anesthesia: Information for Consultations
Recovery: Approximately 2–4 weeks (may vary by individual)
Treatment time: Approximately 2–3 hours (may vary depending on scope)

Overview

An abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes and sutures sagging skin and tissue from the abdomen—which cannot be effectively corrected through exercise or liposuction alone—to redefine the abdominal contour. It involves suctioning excess fat, tightening the separated rectus abdominis muscles, and pulling the skin taut before suturing it; if necessary, an umbilical plasty is performed concurrently.

Treatment steps

STEP 01 — Unnecessary Liposuction

We reduce the thickness of abdominal fat by removing excess fat from the sagging abdomen through liposuction.

STEP 02 — 1:1 Customized Incision

Depending on the degree of skin sagging, incisions are made along the bikini line to conceal scars.

STEP 03 — Tissue Excision and Skin Removal

After dissecting the upper abdominal tissue, the peritoneum of the separated rectus abdominis muscles is tightened, and the sagging skin is repositioned.

STEP 04 — Precise stitching and design

The skin of the upper abdomen is pulled downward and sutured, and, if necessary, the overall shape of the abdomen is refined in conjunction with an umbilical plasty.

Questions and answers

Will there be a lot of scarring?

Although incisions are planned for hidden areas such as the bikini line, the extent of scarring varies from person to person, so we will provide guidance during your consultation.

How long is the recovery period?

This varies depending on the scope of the procedure and the individual’s recovery rate; general guidance is provided during a consultation.

How is this different from liposuction?

While liposuction is a procedure that reduces fat volume, an abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that also tightens sagging skin and tissue. The most appropriate method will be determined following a consultation.

Precautions

Surgical results and the recovery process vary from person to person depending on body type, skin condition, and the extent of the surgery.
Swelling and bruising may occur for a certain period after surgery but will subside over time.
We will provide guidance on post-operative care, including sutures, suture removal, and compression management, during your consultation.
If you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking medications, a consultation is required before surgery.
