Abdominoplasty in Colombia (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, also known as “Lipectomy” or Tummy Tuck, is the definitive surgery to correct physical changes caused by pregnancy. While the arrival of a baby brings immense joy, it often leaves mothers with abdominal concerns such as stretch marks from skin stretching and diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation) due to uterine expansion. A tummy tuck addresses these issues by removing excess skin below the navel to the pubic area, eliminating most pregnancy-related stretch marks.

Muscle Tightening
The procedure includes muscle plication, which flattens and firms the abdomen by suturing separated muscles. This step enhances body contour and creates a smoother silhouette. Our technique involves advanced surgical steps to ensure harmonious results:

Technical Highlights of Our Approach:

Natural Umbilical Reconstruction: A specialized technique to recreate a natural-looking belly button with minimal visible scarring. The scar is typically concealed within the navel itself.

Triple-Layer Muscle Plication: The abdomen is a three-dimensional structure, requiring double or triple-layer muscle suturing tailored to each patient’s needs. This ensures a flatter, firmer abdomen.

Reinforcement of Skin Support Tissue: After removing excess skin, we reconstruct the subcutaneous supportive tissue to prevent scar depression or upward migration (common in C-sections).

Skin-to-Muscle Anchoring: Non-absorbable sutures permanently secure the skin’s supportive layer to the muscular aponeurosis, enhancing waist definition and providing long-lasting skin tension.

Discreet Scar Placement: Scars are positioned low along the bikini line, following the natural curve of underwear or a two-piece swimsuit.

A “smile-shaped” incision mimics the lower abdomen’s natural fold for a subtle result.

Internal Sutures to Prevent Fluid Buildup: Subdermal sutures adhere the skin to the muscle, minimizing the risk of seromas (fluid collections) and eliminating the need for post-op drains.

No Drains Required: Our meticulous technique avoids drains, sparing patients the discomfort of drain care, extra scars, or later removal.
