Abdominoplasty

The technique used by Dr. Juan Pablo Rodríguez

The technique used by the doctor is to remove the skin excess and fat in the abdomen and back, always trying to avoid unnecessary incisions. The objective is to regain the contour through the abdominal wall reconstruction, restoring the musculature position so that the abdominal marking lines are visible and attractive to the eye. In addition to achieving that the skin adapts firmly to the body contour, eradicating all the undesirable chubbiness and gaining back trust without big scars.

The abdominoplasty, also known as lipectomy or tommy tuck, is a surgery that has aims to:

1. Remove the abdominal skin excess giving firmness and definition to the abdomen.
2. Remove the existing stretch marks in the middle and inferior part of the abdomen.
3. Rebuild the abdominal wall through the plicature or mooring of the abdominal muscles highlighting the waist and reducing the abdominal perimeter.

This abdomen surgery has been perfected by Dr. Juan Pablo Rodríguez since in his personal technique, he makes an special mooring, not just for the central musculature (rectus abdominals) but also for the oblique muscles (laterals) enhancing the female silhouette even more.

The abdominoplasty in men manages to diminish drastically the abdominal perimeter without losing the masculine forms.

The technique used in the abdominoplasty achieves an even more natural belly button without many scares al obtaining esthetic and satisfactory results. Leaving behind the classic stigma of the lipectomy in which the belly button ends with too visible scars, or in some cases, with the total amputation of it to create a “new belly button” that ends up being too false. Therefore, we look to get an umbilical scar at the bottom of the belly button so it won’t be too visible.
