The abdomen undergoes several changes with time, such as accumulation of fat, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, hormonal disorders or previous surgeries, resulting in an unaesthetic or deformed abdomen. Abdominoplasty corrects sagging, stretch marks, excess skin fat volume, diastasis (distended abdomen muscles due to pregnancy and weight gain), and some scars, to help recover the body shape with a flat stomach as a result. Current techniques allow minimal scarring hidden within the bikini line. The recovery time is 12 to 14 days.
