The Benefits of Abdominoplasty
Many patients choose a tummy tuck to improve their appearance, especially after weight loss or giving birth. Some of the benefits of this cosmetic surgery include:
Immediate, Noticeable Changes
A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, giving you a slimmer midsection and noticeable results. It can take several weeks for swelling and bruising to heal, but you will notice your new figure right after your surgery.
Repair Your Abdominal Wall
Abdominal muscles often separate from the abdominal wall after pregnancy, making the loose. Abdominoplasty repairs separated muscles.
Boost in Self-Confidence
Removing excess skin and stubborn fat can improve your body image and greatly increase your self-esteem.

What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes loose skin and small amounts of fat in the abdominal area, making your midsection more flat and toned. If your abdominal muscles have weakened or separated, this procedure can restore them.
Removing excess skin is the primary benefit of the procedure. While some fat is removed, a liposuction treatment can remove a significant amount of fat. The plastic surgeons at our Tijuana, Mexico, facility can review your health and goals to see if you're a good candidate for combined treatments.
You May Qualify for a Tummy Tuck If
Significant weight loss can improve your overall health but leave you with stretched skin. An abdominoplasty at our Tijuana, Mexico, facility can help enhance your appearance with bariatric surgery. Prior to your surgery, you should be close to or at your weight goal. If you still need to achieve additional weight loss outside of your tummy tuck, our plastic surgeons can review additional treatments with you.
Significant weight loss and giving birth can leave you with loose, excess skin. Plastic surgery can remove loose skin, making your abdomen tighter and improving your frame.
A tummy tuck combined with liposuction is a common option in a mommy makeover for women after they've given birth. Abdominoplasty can renew your appearance after you're finished having kids.
To get the most out of plastic surgery, patients should not smoke or use tobacco products. Patients should also eat healthy, exercise regularly, and limit the amount of alcohol they drink.
Having good overall health cuts down the risk of complications during plastic surgery. Patients who have significant health issues may not recover as smoothly after their surgical procedure.
Your plastic surgeon will explain all of the benefits and risks that come with a tummy tuck. This way, patients can see if the procedure is right for them and will help them achieve their health goals.

Steps to a Successful Recovery
Before your surgery at our Tijuana, Mexico, facility, you will be given detailed instructions on how to have a successful recovery. The steps will include:
Getting Plenty of Rest
Once you return home from surgery, it is important that you rest and take it easy for several days. Patients can expect to take about two weeks off from work immediately after their surgery.
Avoiding Strenuous Activity
Avoid exercise and activity that will raise your heart rate for at least six weeks after your surgery or until your plastic surgeon says it is OK.
Engage in Light Activity
While strenuous activity can increase your swelling, light activity like walking will keep your blood circulating.
Wearing Compression Garment
Patients will experience bruising and swelling following their surgery. A compression garment will help decrease the swelling.
Drains
If you combined your abdominoplasty with liposuction, you may have drains placed to remove excess fluid. Your drains have to be cleaned and emptied every day.
