What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is surgery to remove excess abdominal fat and tissue.
When abdominal skin has lost elasticity and sags, liposuction alone rarely provides fundamental improvement. Severe obesity or pregnancy can stretch skin beyond its ability to recover.
Liposuction alone may worsen sagging or cause uneven adhesion. REAL removes fat and loose skin while restoring the muscle and fascia, creating a flatter, slimmer abdomen.
Abdomen / waist
Accelerate slimming for health and beauty.
This is the most common method. Full abdominoplasty also incises around the navel. The navel is recreated in an ideal position and the scar extends between the pelvic sides. It suits laxity above and below the navel.
Weight change: Waist change: Other procedures:
91 kg → 63 kg 53 in → 37 in Breast augmentation; arm, thigh, waist and abdominal liposuction
The most common method. The skin-excision line is similar, but full abdominoplasty also incises around the navel. The navel is recreated at an ideal position and the scar extends between the pelvic sides. It suits loss of elasticity both above and below the navel.

Mini abdominoplasty
Removes lower-abdominal skin below the navel for postpartum laxity. It is simpler and recovers quickly; a cesarean scar can be reused when covered by excess tissue.
Weight change: Waist change: Other procedures:
69 kg → 51 kg 33 in → 27 in Thigh, waist and abdominal liposuction

Extended abdominoplasty
When loose tissue extends around the waist and flanks, standard surgery is insufficient. Extended abdominoplasty uses a longer incision beyond the pelvic line to remove flank tissue. The longer scar can remain hidden beneath underwear.

59 kg → 55 kg 37 in → 31 in Thigh, waist and abdominal liposuction

Combine liposuction and fat transfer to create smooth, rounded buttock contours.
Before surgery the flanks protruded and the waistline was uneven; afterward the waist-to-hip curve is smooth, balanced and natural.

Common questions
Questions and answers
Review common concerns before your consultation
When can I return to daily life after abdominal surgery?+
One night of hospitalization is recommended. A drain is removed after 3-6 days according to output. Recovery depends on the amount of liposuction and tissue removal; daily life usually resumes after seven days. All sutures are removed within 1-2 weeks, and alcohol, smoking, sauna and exercise can resume after one month. Surgery reduces subcutaneous fat and loose skin but not visceral fat, so ongoing exercise and diet are required for weight control.
How large is the scar after abdominoplasty?+
All surgery leaves scars. The aim is to minimize and conceal them. Abdominoplasty leaves a relatively long scar, but it sits below the underwear line and is hidden by underwear or swimwear. Scar care also affects the final result. REAL follows healing and may provide postoperative laser treatment to optimize the outcome.
Does a compression garment help after liposuction?+
It does not change the surgical result itself but can support faster recovery. Wearing it for 2-4 weeks is recommended, depending on treatment amount and area.
