ABDOMINOPLASTY

Aurora Reig Clinic Valencia

Weight gain or loss, and pregnancies lead to localized fat accumulation in the abdominal area with excess skin and/or excessive muscle distension. In these cases, it is not possible to restore these supporting structures with simple liposuction, so an abdominoplasty is required in the same procedure. This way, excess skin is removed, and local muscles are tightened if necessary.

What is Abdominoplasty?

Aurora Reig Clinic Valencia

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. It is ideal for those who have experienced significant body changes due to pregnancy, drastic weight loss, or aging. At Dra. Aurora Reig’s Clinic in Valencia, we offer this treatment with a fully personalized approach, ensuring natural results that enhance your figure and restore confidence in your appearance.

Dr. Aurora Reig, with extensive experience in aesthetic surgery and a member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE), ensures that each procedure is performed with maximum safety and the highest quality, adapting to the specific needs of each patient. The goal of abdominoplasty is to achieve a firmer, flatter, and more toned abdomen while maintaining a natural body contour.

Areas Treated with Abdominoplasty

The procedure is designed to treat the following areas:

  • Excess abdominal skin: After pregnancy or weight loss, abdominal skin may lose its elasticity, causing sagging.
  • Localized fat: Abdominoplasty helps remove stubborn fat that does not go away with diet or exercise.
  • Abdominal muscle tension: Over time or after multiple pregnancies, abdominal muscles may weaken and separate, known as diastasis. Surgery allows them to be tightened again for a firmer abdomen.

The final result is a flatter and firmer abdomen with a more contoured silhouette, allowing both men and women to feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.

When is Abdominoplasty Recommended?

✓ If after pregnancy or significant weight loss, you have excess skin in the abdomen.
✓ If you have abdominal sagging that does not improve with diet or exercise.
✓ If your abdominal muscles have weakened or separated due to diastasis.
✓ If you want a firmer, flatter, and more contoured abdomen, achieving a more balanced figure.

Treatment Process

At Dra. Aurora Reig’s Clinic, we perform abdominoplasty in certified operating rooms. Generally, the surgery lasts between 2 to 4 hours, depending on each patient’s needs.

  • Touch-up included: In some cases, we offer a follow-up evaluation to ensure expected results.
  • Little to no pain: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and post-operative pain is generally manageable with medication.

Postoperative Care

The recovery from abdominoplasty is progressive and comfortable, provided that medical recommendations are followed:

  • Rest: Avoid physical exertion, lifting heavy objects, or sudden movements in the first few weeks to promote healing. Light walking is recommended to improve circulation.
  • Post-surgical compression garment: Essential for the first few weeks to reduce inflammation, help the skin adapt, and enhance the final result.
  • Returning to daily activities: Most patients resume normal life in about two weeks, though more intense activities like exercise should wait about six weeks.

Duration and Results

    • Immediate visible results, with a flatter, firmer abdomen free from excess skin.
    • Discreet scar, usually located in the lower abdomen, easily hidden by underwear or a bikini.
    • Long-lasting results, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained. However, time, pregnancy, or major weight changes may affect the abdomen’s appearance.

Other Benefits of Abdominoplasty

In addition to improving the aesthetics of the abdomen, abdominoplasty can also enhance patients’ physical and emotional well-being. By removing excess skin and fat, many patients experience significant improvements in mobility, posture, and overall comfort. It can also contribute to a better mood and increased self-esteem, as it eliminates a common source of discomfort or insecurity.
