Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is one of the most complex operations in plastic surgery, the main purpose of which is the alignment of the anterior abdominal wall and the correction of the waist. In the course of surgical intervention, excision of surplus skin and removal of excess fatty structures is carried out.

There are following types of abdominoplasty:

-Classical abdominoplasty. Excision of the excess of the skin of the anterior abdominal wall with the displacement of the navel and the plasticity of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall to produce a more flat stomach. After this operation there is a scar above the pubis 30-40 cm long and around the displaced navel (imperceptible)

-Mini abdominolpasty, excision of excess skin of the anterior abdominal wall without moving the navel. After this operation remains a scar above the pubis length of 15-20 cm along the line "bikini".
