Abdominoplasty, performed by a Specialist Cosmetic Surgeon, is a safe procedure that delivers natural results. Dr Weiss, specialist in cosmetic body surgery in Paris, invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty is the surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal wall. It is an ideal procedure for restoring a flat, toned abdomen after pregnancy ("mommy makeover") or significant weight loss.
The procedure may include umbilical transposition (full abdominoplasty) or be limited to the lower abdomen (mini-abdominoplasty). Abdominal muscle repair (plication) can also be performed simultaneously when diastasis is present.
The scar is generally positioned to be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit.
For optimal results, liposuction may be combined with abdominoplasty. Liposuction should precede abdominoplasty for the best outcome.
In the context of massive weight loss sequelae, this procedure may be partially covered by the French social security system.
