Abdominoplasty and Post-Bariatric Abdominoplasty in Madrid

The abdominoplasty, also known as abdominal surgery or a “tummy tuck”, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten the abdominal wall, remove excess skin and fat, and repair weakened abdominal muscles, achieving a flatter and more toned abdomen. At Clínica 3 de Mayo, Dr. Jesús Lago, specialist in aesthetic and post-bariatric surgery, offers a personalized approach for every patient, combining surgical precision with harmonious and natural-looking results.

Types of Abdominoplasty We Perform at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid

At Clínica 3 de Mayo, different treatment options are available and tailored to the specific needs of each patient:

  1. Full Aesthetic Abdominoplasty
    Recommended for patients with excess skin and fat in the middle and lower abdomen. A low incision is made (hidden along the bikini line), and the belly button is repositioned.
  2. Mini Abdominoplasty
    Suitable for mild cases of skin laxity or excess skin limited to the lower abdomen. It requires a shorter incision and offers a faster recovery.
  3. Post-Bariatric Abdominoplasty
    After bariatric surgery or major weight loss, it is common for patients to experience significant excess skin. In these cases, Dr. Jesús Lago performs reconstructive surgery designed to improve body contour. This procedure can also be combined with thigh or arm lifts, helping restore both functionality and body aesthetics.

The procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours.

Abdominoplasty Surgeons

During surgery, excess skin is removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and, if necessary, a complementary liposuction procedure is performed to further define the body contour.

Patients usually remain hospitalized for 24 hours, depending on the type of procedure performed and their postoperative recovery.

Benefits of Choosing Abdominoplasty Surgery with Dr. Jesús Lago

Recovery and Results After Post-Bariatric Abdominoplasty Surgery

The results of post-bariatric abdominal surgery depend on the individual characteristics of each patient. To support a smooth recovery and achieve the best possible outcome, Dr. Jesús Lago recommends:

  • Relative rest during the first few days and wearing a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Results are visible from the first month and become fully stabilized after approximately 6 months.
  • The scar remains hidden beneath underwear or swimwear and gradually becomes less noticeable over time.
  • For post-bariatric patients, improvements in body contour and overall physical and emotional well-being are especially significant.
