Abdominoplasty For A Slim And Firm Abdomen!
Abdominoplasty, or our tummy tuck Bogota, continues to be one of our most requested procedures to shed off stubborn fat around the abdomen and give your body a gorgeous, slimmer appearance. This procedure reduces the excess skin and fat tissue that accumulates around the abdomen due to aging, genetics, pregnancy or weight loss after weight gain.
If the case demands it, we may combine abdominoplasty with abdominal liposuction for a Lipoabdominoplasty. This will more effectively target large fat deposits, particularly around the waist and flanks, improving your body contour. For others, we may recommend a mini-abdominoplasty or a mini-tummy tuck, a minimally invasive surgery that removes excess skin and fat from only the lower abdomen section.

- Obese or overweight individuals who have undergone weight loss but have excess skin around the tummy.

How Is Abdominoplasty Performed?
Only after an initial consultation with a professional will you be able to determine whether a tummy tuck in Bogota is the right choice for you. If you have significant abdominal distention, loose skin, stretch marks and stubborn fat, we will proceed with the abdominoplasty.
This surgical intervention is carried out in the following steps:
- If you are undergoing lipo abdominoplasty, we begin with liposuction of the abdomen, stomach and flanks.
- A cut will be made on the lower abdominal area and the skin and fat will be lifted.
- The abdominal muscles will be tightened.
- After repositioning, excess skin and fat between the navel and pubis is removed.
- In some cases, an umbilical transposition or repositioning of the naval will be required.
- After healthy skin is stretched to cover the abdomen, the wounds are closed with intradermal sutures.
