Abdominoplasty before and after
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. This procedure is aimed at patients who want to restore firmness in the abdominal area, especially after significant weight loss or pregnancies.

Benefits of abdominal surgery
Abdominoplasty offers both aesthetic and functional benefits. The main advantages are:
- Elimination of excess skin and fat: The procedure removes loose skin and accumulated fat in the abdominal area.
- Strengthening of abdominal muscles: When necessary, the abdominal muscles can be repaired.
- Long-lasting results: In most cases, results are permanent, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
Postoperative care after an abdominoplasty
At Clínica Jordi Mir, we support all our patients throughout the recovery process. After an abdominoplasty, it is essential to follow Dr. Jordi Mir’s recommendations:
- Postoperative compression garment: Wearing a compressive garment during the first few months after surgery is recommended to reduce swelling and fluid accumulation.
- Lymphatic drainage massages: Lymphatic drainage massages are crucial to reduce inflammation and ensure faster recovery.
Most of our patients can return to work within two to four weeks, depending on their individual recovery process.

Frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty results
How long does it take to see the final results of an abdominoplasty?
The initial results of abdominoplasty become visible as swelling begins to decrease, usually within the first few weeks. However, the abdomen’s final contour is noticeable several months later, once the tissue has fully healed. To maintain the results, it’s important to follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
Does abdominal surgery remove previous scars on the abdomen?
Abdominoplasty can improve the appearance of previous scars, such as those from cesarean sections or other abdominal surgeries. During the procedure, Dr. Jordi Mir can remove scarred tissue and re-suture it under better conditions. While it’s not possible to completely eliminate a scar, this method can integrate it more aesthetically into the abdomen. This scar improvement is often performed under local anesthesia, does not require hospitalization, and has a faster recovery time.
Is it possible to remove excess abdominal fat with only a mini-abdominoplasty?
Mini-abdominoplasty is suitable for patients with excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen who don’t require muscle tightening or excess skin removal in the upper area. The procedure is less invasive than a full abdominoplasty and leaves a smaller scar, making recovery faster. However, for patients with fat deposits and sagging skin throughout the abdomen, a full abdominoplasty is the most recommended option.
What is the outcome of an abdominoplasty?
The outcome is a firmer, flatter, and more defined abdomen. This surgery is ideal for people who have lost weight or experienced pregnancies and want to restore firmness to their abdomen. The results are typically permanent, as long as a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is maintained. If you’d like to know more, contact us! The first consultation is free.
