Is this different from liposuction?

Yes. Liposuction removes fat. Abdominoplasty removes skin, fat AND repairs muscle. They can be combined for a better result.

Will it remove stretch marks?

Stretch marks on the excised skin are removed. Those above the navel may improve in position but are not eliminated.

Where is the scar placed?

The main scar runs horizontally low on the abdomen, hidden under underwear and swimwear.

Can I combine it with other procedures?

Yes — frequently combined with liposuction, breast surgery, or a body lift as part of a mummy makeover.

Scar progression

How the scar changes — from surgery to final result

Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
