## What does it involve?

Abdominoplasty restores the abdominal wall: we repair diastasis, remove excess skin and reposition tissue. 360° liposculpture sculpts the abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back to create a harmonious transition.

At SANTELLY the design is anatomical and conservative. Marking is done beforehand while standing, with a technique that preserves vascularity and layered closure using progressive high-tension suturing. A flat yet natural result, without a "washboard" abdomen.

There are three variants: Avelar technique (abdominal walls plus liposuction), circumferential (abdomen, waist and back) and traditional (abdominal walls).

## What it corrects

- Excess skin and laxity after pregnancy or weight loss
- Rectus diastasis (muscle separation)
- Localised fat in the abdomen, flanks and lower back
- Undefined waist and irregular contour
- Lower stretch marks (removed with the resection)

## Is it for you?

- **Post-maternity**: You have had pregnancies and your abdomen did not recover: lax skin, open muscles and lost waist.
- **Weight loss**: You lost weight and excess skin remained. You want a firm contour, not just less volume.
- **360° definition**: You want a flat abdomen, marked waist and polished back in a single strategic procedure.

## FAQ

### How long should I stay in Tijuana?

Usually 7 to 10 days: surgery, drain management and initial wound care in your suite with nursing. Clearance to travel is defined by your progress.

### Is abdominoplasty a weight-loss method?

No. Its purpose is to remove skin and localised fat and reconstruct the abdominal wall. Arriving at a stable weight is recommended.

### When is the final result visible?

The change in silhouette is visible from the first week, but the definitive result appears once swelling settles, between the third and sixth month.
