WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
High-definition technique,
not just removal.
Abdominoplasty restores the abdominal wall: we repair diastasis, remove excess skin and reposition tissue. 360° liposculpture sculpts the abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back to create a harmonious transition.
At SANTELLY the design is anatomical and conservative. Marking is done beforehand while standing, with a technique that preserves vascularity and layered closure using progressive high-tension suturing. A flat yet natural result, without a "washboard" abdomen.
There are three variants: Avelar technique (abdominal walls plus liposuction), circumferential (abdomen, waist and back) and traditional (abdominal walls).

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a body plastic surgery procedure performed by Santelly in Tijuana, Mexico, for patients from Mexico and California. A flat abdomen, defined waist and harmonious contour with a high-definition technique and 24/7 assisted recovery.
How long should I stay in Tijuana?
Usually 7 to 10 days: surgery, drain management and initial wound care in your suite with nursing. Clearance to travel is defined by your progress.
Is abdominoplasty a weight-loss method?
No. Its purpose is to remove skin and localised fat and reconstruct the abdominal wall. Arriving at a stable weight is recommended.
When is the final result visible?
The change in silhouette is visible from the first week, but the definitive result appears once swelling settles, between the third and sixth month.
