Abdominoplasty:
A surgical procedure that improves the abdominal contour by removing excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen, in addition to tightening the musculature of the abdominal wall.
It is indicated for patients with sagging, excess skin, and relaxation of the abdominal wall; generally as a consequence of pregnancy or significant weight loss.
It is performed under general anesthesia, and a hospital stay of up to one day is recommended for adequate pain management and specialized medical follow-up.
