Most of the time women choose this kind of operation after pregnancies. With this way the doctor can eliminate both the relaxation and stretch marks that may have formed in the lower abdomen. But men, who experience laxity in the abdomen or lack of elasticity, can find a solution after an abdominoplasty.

At  ABH Medical Group abdominoplasty can be successfully performed on both men and women. After the operation, patients see a great improvement in their appearance, regaining their self-confidence while at the same time resolving other issues that arise such as difficulty in choosing clothes, negative criticism from others and friends, a feeling of difficulty in movement or in advanced cases and even skin problems that occur in the area due to relaxation of the skin.

There are  three different techniques in abdominoplasty that are applied:

The classic abdominoplasty: this is the removal of an abdominal wall with an incision over the pube, which extends from one iliac crest to the other, allowing us to remove a large amount of loose skin resulting from pregnancy or a large and abrupt weight loss, resulting in the creation of the “hanging belly”..

Circular abdominoplasty: One of the largest plastic surgeries that mainly concerns obese people with a lot of relaxation in many parts of the body. It removes more skin and fat around the waist, while very often it is combined with simultaneous lift of the buttocks and thighs.

Mini abdominoplasty or known as “Californian Tummy-Tuck”: One of the most elegant plastic operations, where a horizontal incision is made in the lower part of the abdominal wall (similar to the caesarean section) and a smaller part of the abdomen is removed. It is usually applied to women where they are relatively thin – it can be easily combined with liposuction – and they are concerned about stretch marks or deformities that occur in the lower part of the abdominal wall. The incision is relatively small and is placed at an area covered by the underwear.
