It includes the procedure
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat while repairing weakened abdominal muscles, leaving a low scar that is concealed under under underwear.
What is it?
Surgical procedure that removes excessive abdominal skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles.
How does it work?
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes a strategic incision, removes excess tissue and repairs the abdominal musculature.
When do I see results?
The changes are immediate, but the final results are fully appreciated after three to six months.
Are there scars?
All surgery leaves a mark, but at CPSC we design low, strategic incisions that are hidden under the undergarment.

Scars are part of your recovery
All surgery leaves a mark, but at CPSC we design low, strategic incisions that are hidden under under undergarments. With time and proper care, scars fade significantly.
Scars
high
They form when there is excessive collagen production during healing. They remain above the level of the surrounding skin but usually flatten over time.
Scars
hypertrophic
Thick, raised and often reddish in the first few months. Unlike keloids, they remain within the edges of the original incision and improve significantly over time.
Scars
keloids
Result from excessive scarring that extends beyond the wound area. They have a strong genetic component and require special attention during recovery.
Scars
widened
These scars are usually flat and smooth to the touch, but appear stretched or wider than desired. This usually occurs when there is too much tension on the skin during the closure or healing process.
Scars
Hyper /
Hypopigmented
This refers to scars that heal with a different tone than your natural skin tone. They can be hyperpigmented (darker than the surrounding skin) or hypopigmented (lighter or whiter).

Abdominoplasty Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on safety, recovery and candidacy for your Abdominoplasty
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
