FAQs

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty surgery are individuals who have experienced substantial weight loss or multiple pregnancies, resulting in excess skin and fat in the abdominal region. They should be in good general health, non-smokers, and maintain a stable weight. It is crucial to consult with a surgeon who is certified by a recognised board to assess the suitability of the procedure for you and address any potential risks and complications.

The recovery process after abdominoplasty surgery can involve discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the abdominal area for the first few weeks. Patients are advised to rest, limit activities, wear a compression garment, and attend follow-up visits. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least six weeks. Proper scar care is also important. Individual experiences may vary, so it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions for a successful recovery.

Abdominoplasty surgery is generally a safe procedure, but it’s important to be aware of potential risks and complications. These can include bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, seroma (fluid accumulation), skin or tissue loss, numbness or changes in sensation, anaesthesia complications, and unsatisfactory aesthetic results. With proper care and a skilled surgeon, the majority of individuals experience successful outcomes without significant issues. Your surgeon will take the necessary precautions to minimise risks and guide you through a safe and positive recovery process.
