Yes, but gradually. Week 1-2: gentle walks only. Week 3-4: longer walks. Week 6-8: moderate exercise (bicycle, elliptical). After 8 weeks with medical approval: intense exercise, crunches and weight lifting. Regular exercise helps maintain your results permanently.

The results are permanent. The removed skin does not return and the repaired muscles remain attached. However, natural aging, significant weight changes (+10 kg) or future pregnancies can affect the appearance. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your results last for decades, even a lifetime.

General anesthesia is used, which means you will be completely asleep during the procedure without pain. A board certified anesthesiologist will constantly monitor you. In some cases of mini-abdominoplasty, deep sedation with epidural anesthesia may be used. The decision is made based on your specific case and preferences.

Your surgery is performed by Dr. Victor Sámano, a certified plastic surgeon with proven track record and international medical standards. We operate in first class facilities that comply with all patient safety regulations.

Absolutely yes. Abdominoplasty is often combined with other plastic surgery procedures to achieve a complete and harmonious body transformation.

Most common combinations:

• Mommy Makeover: Abdominoplasty + breast surgery (augmentation with implants, lift or reduction). Ideal for post-pregnancy women who wish to regain their pre-maternal figure.
• 360° Body Contouring: Abdominoplasty + high definition liposuction on flanks, lower back, thighs and arms. Perfect for sculpting multiple areas simultaneously.
• Post-Bariatric: Abdominoplasty + thighplasty + brachioplasty. Designed for patients with massive weight loss who need to remove excess skin in several areas.

Advantages of combined procedures:

• A single general anesthesia - Lower cumulative risk and cost
• Simultaneous recovery - Reduced total recovery time
• Economic savings - 20-30% discount vs. separate surgeries
• Harmonious results - Balanced and proportional body transformation
• A single trip to Cancun - Especially beneficial for international patients

Important Considerations:

Total surgical time should ideally be kept under 6 hours to minimize risk. CPSC's multidisciplinary team will carefully evaluate your overall health, BMI, medical history, and specific goals to determine which combinations are safe and appropriate for you.

The incision is strategically placed in the bikini area so that it is easily concealed by undergarments or swimsuits. As experts in harmonious results, we focus on advanced suturing techniques so that the scar heals as discreetly as possible.

To ensure your safety and comply with international flight protocols, we recommend a minimum stay of 5 to 7 days. This allows you to remove stitches if necessary and ensure that your initial recovery is monitored before your return home.

At CPSC we offer comprehensive support. It all starts with a virtual consultation to evaluate your case; once the surgery is scheduled, we assist you with the previous logistics. From the moment you land you will be accompanied by a bilingual concierge who will assist you in every step, from your transfers from the airport to your consultations and to your hotel, as well as a post-operative follow-up personally supervised by Dr. Sámano and his team of professionals.

It is ideal for patients who have experienced massive weight loss or women after pregnancy who have sagging skin and muscle weakness that does not improve with exercise. We look for patients with a stable state of health and realistic expectations.

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that firms the abdomen by removing excess sagging skin and fat, as well as correcting the separation of the abdominal muscles. Unlike liposuction, which only suctions fat, abdominoplasty reconstructs the abdominal wall to achieve a firm and flat contour.
