Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, repairs abdominal muscles, and creates a flatter, firmer, and more defined contour. It is the ideal procedure for patients who have experienced significant changes in their abdomen after pregnancies or weight loss.
At our clinic in Bogotá, each abdominoplasty is completely customized. We evaluate the amount of excess skin, the condition of your abdominal muscles, and fat distribution to determine the most suitable technique: classic abdominoplasty or lipoabdominoplasty.
