Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Mexico
Conveniently located to serve Mexico
Jump To
An abdominoplasty in Mexico is appropriate for both men and women who are unsatisfied with their appearance. This technique, often called a tummy tuck, is an excellent choice for new mothers who wish to get rid of their sagging stomach after pregnancy. It is also ideal for addressing stubborn fat and excess skin after weight-loss surgery.
Dr. Jorge Echeagaray Herrera’s major goal during the abdominoplasty treatment is to remove extra skin from the abdomen. The technique also includes removing excess fat and tightening the loose and worn-out abdominal muscles. Following abdominoplasty, patients have a smoother and flatter abdomen.
Why Undergo Abdominoplasty?
Weak abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and drooping abdominal skin are issues that most women experience after giving birth. The tone and form of the stomach change throughout the postpartum period.
Additionally, after losing a significant amount of weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery, excess fat and sagging skin are left on the abdomen. Sagging skin can cause excess moisture, which can lead to fungal infections.
Abdominoplasty surgery is performed to contour the abdomen, resolving these issues and creating a fitter and more sculpted appearance.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty?
Non-smokers who are physically fit and at their ideal body weight are suitable candidates for abdominoplasty. Women who have completed their pregnancies and do not plan to have more children are also often good candidates, as well as those hoping to address loose skin after bariatric surgery or significant weight loss, enjoying a more contoured appearance.

During Procedure
The excess skin and fat are removed surgically from the abdominal area by Dr. Echeagaray. Depending on the patient´s needs, the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened.
