Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck or abdominal lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving and rejuvenating the appearance of the abdomen. This procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening loose abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, firmer abdominal contour.

Our approach

At Clinimedspa, we take a personalized approach to each abdominoplasty. During the initial consultation, a thorough assessment of individual needs and aesthetic goals will allow us to plan a tailored procedure. It is important to note that the presence of intra-abdominal fat, located around the organs, can sometimes complicate achieving a perfectly flat abdomen. In such cases, we discuss possible solutions to maximize results.

For patients seeking a complete body transformation, we also offer the “Mommy Makeover,” a combination of abdominoplasty and breast surgery, aimed at restoring the shape and firmness of the body after maternity.

We stand out for our use of advanced surgical techniques that minimize scars and optimize recovery, while enhancing both aesthetic and functional results. Our priority is to ensure patient safety and comfort by minimizing pain during our procedures.

Our Surgical Approach

Types of procedures

Abdominoplasty comes in several variations, tailored to the specific needs and anatomical conditions of each patient. At Clinimedspa, we primarily offer two types of abdominoplasty, each targeting different degrees of correction required.
Procedure Overview

The surgery

Abdominoplasty at Clinimedspa is a carefully executed procedure that begins with a low incision, placed to be easily hidden under clothing. Dr. Arbour removes excess skin and fat, then tightens the abdominal muscles to create a flatter, more toned abdomen. Depending on the needs, additional liposuction may be performed to refine the anterior flanks and the epigastric region. The duration of the surgery varies, with a full abdominoplasty taking between 2 and 3.5 hours, while the mini-abdominoplasty is typically shorter but depends on the liposuction performed at the same time (only the anterior abdomen or with the flanks).

Recovery

The recovery period after an abdominoplasty varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient’s response. In general, patients can expect to take between two and four weeks of rest before resuming light activities. It is important to note that all surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you will not spend the night at the clinic. During this time, it is crucial to strictly follow the advice of our team to manage pain and support healing, such as wearing a compression garment and limiting intense physical activities.

We also recommend regular follow-up visits with Dr. Arbour to monitor the healing progress and ensure that recovery is proceeding as planned. These appointments are an opportunity to adjust post-operative care if necessary and address any questions the patient may have regarding their recovery and long-term care.

Questions about abdominoplasty

FAQ

What is the typical recovery time after an abdominoplasty?
Complete recovery can take four to six weeks, during which intense activities should be avoided. Patients can typically resume light tasks after two to four weeks.
Will the tummy tuck leave visible scars?
An abdominoplasty will leave a scar, but Dr. Arbour strives to place the incision in a way that it is easily concealed under bikini or underwear lines. With proper care, the scar should become less noticeable over time.
Can I combine an abdominoplasty with other surgeries?
Yes, it is common to combine an abdominoplasty with other procedures, such as liposuction or breast cosmetic surgery, to maximize aesthetic results. Dr. Arbour will discuss the options that best meet your goals during the initial consultation.
What are the recommendations for a successful recovery?
It is essential to follow all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, including wearing a compression garment, managing pain, and limiting physical activity. Proper nutrition and adequate hydration are also crucial for optimal healing.
