What is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a very popular procedure with well-proven methods. The aim of the procedure is to tighten the muscles of the abdomen and at the same time remove excess skin. We recommend a abdominoplasty for people who have undergone major weight loss, who have given birth and want to regain their body shape or in case of lost elasticity in the skin. In addition to the above-mentioned benefits, you can get a more defined waist and a very long-lasting and sustainable result.
What is liposuction?
Many people are familiar with the procedure today. lipo-suction, although you may not know exactly how it works or what results to expect. Unlike a tummy tuck, liposuction is a less advanced procedure that aims to remove fat deposits from the body. Liposuction usually involves specific areas, such as the stomach, thighs, neck or arms. Sometimes it can be difficult to get rid of fat deposits, even if you eat and exercise right. Our skilled and competent plastic surgeons can help you get the body you've always dreamed of. The advantages include a short recovery time for most people, the ability to treat multiple areas at once and minimal scarring.
