Tummy Tuck Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

At Osuri Surgery, we understand that pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, and genetics can affect the appearance of your abdomen. Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles may be difficult to improve.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat, tighten weakened abdominal muscles when necessary, and create a smoother, firmer, and more defined abdominal contour.

Our experienced plastic surgery team in Tijuana, Mexico, provides personalized surgical plans based on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and overall health.

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that improves the shape and appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and, when indicated, repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).

During surgery, the remaining skin is carefully repositioned to create a smoother abdominal appearance. Depending on your needs, liposuction may also be recommended to improve the contour of your waist and surrounding areas.

The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that complement your body's proportions.

You may be a candidate for a tummy tuck if you experience:

• Loose or sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss.
• Stubborn abdominal fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles following pregnancy.
• Excess skin around the lower abdomen.
• Changes in abdominal contour associated with aging.
• Significant weight loss following bariatric surgery.

Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about surgical results.

Patients planning future pregnancies or significant weight loss may be advised to postpone surgery.

A personalized medical evaluation is essential to determine whether tummy tuck surgery is appropriate for you.

At Osuri Surgery, we offer different abdominoplasty techniques depending on the amount of excess skin, abdominal muscle condition, and individual body contouring needs.

Removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and may include tightening separated abdominal muscles. The belly button is typically repositioned to achieve a natural appearance.

Designed for patients with additional loose skin extending toward the hips and flanks. This technique provides more extensive contouring than a traditional tummy tuck.

Often recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss. This procedure addresses excess skin around the abdomen, waist, and lower back, potentially improving the contour of the entire midsection.

Commonly considered for patients with substantial skin laxity following major weight loss. This technique uses both horizontal and vertical incisions to remove excess skin in multiple directions.

For selected patients, abdominoplasty can be combined with Lipo 360 to contour the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back, creating a more comprehensive body contouring result.

The appropriate technique will be determined after reviewing your medical history, photographs, and surgical goals.

A tummy tuck may provide several aesthetic and functional benefits, including:

• A flatter and firmer abdominal appearance.
• Removal of excess loose or hanging skin.
• Improved waistline and abdominal definition.
• Repair of separated abdominal muscles when indicated.
• Reduction of certain stretch marks located within the skin being removed.
• Improved comfort when excess skin causes irritation.
• Greater confidence in clothing and body appearance.

Individual results vary depending on anatomy, skin quality, surgical technique, and healing.

Tummy tuck surgery is performed in an appropriately equipped hospital or surgical facility under the supervision of a qualified surgical and anesthesia team.

Depending on the procedure and medical evaluation, anesthesia may involve general anesthesia or a regional technique combined with sedation.

During surgery, your plastic surgeon will:

1. Make carefully planned incisions according to the selected tummy tuck technique.
2. Remove excess abdominal skin and underlying fat as needed.
3. Tighten separated abdominal muscles when indicated.
4. Reposition the remaining skin and, when necessary, the belly button.
5. Close the incisions and apply appropriate surgical dressings.

Surgical time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional treatments are performed.

Your safety begins well before your procedure.

At Osuri Surgery, every patient undergoes a preoperative assessment to evaluate their medical history, current health, and surgical suitability.

Preparation may include:

• Blood tests and other preoperative studies.
• Electrocardiogram (EKG) and internal medicine evaluation when indicated.
• Reviewing current medications, supplements, allergies, and previous surgeries.
• Maintaining a healthy and stable weight.
• Discontinuing smoking, vaping, and nicotine use before and after surgery.
• Following individualized instructions regarding medications that may increase bleeding risk.
• Arranging appropriate assistance and accommodations for postoperative recovery.

Your medical team will provide specific instructions based on your health and planned procedure.

Recovery is an important part of achieving a successful surgical outcome.

Following your tummy tuck, you may experience swelling, bruising, tightness, and temporary discomfort. These symptoms generally improve gradually as your body heals.

First Week

Rest and assisted walking are encouraged. Short, gentle walks help promote circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. Surgical drains may be used when necessary.

Weeks 2–3

Swelling and discomfort generally begin to improve. Some patients may return to light daily activities or desk work, depending on their recovery and surgeon's approval.

Weeks 4–6

Many patients gradually resume additional activities as healing progresses. Compression garments are commonly recommended for several weeks, according to the surgeon's instructions.

Following Months

Residual swelling continues to decrease, scars gradually mature, and the abdominal contour becomes more defined.

Full healing and final results may take several months or longer.

For patients traveling from the United States or other locations, we offer optional recovery assistance to make the postoperative experience more comfortable.

Our recovery services may include:

• Recovery house accommodations.
• Nursing assistance available 24/7.
• Postoperative wound care and drain monitoring.
• Three daily meals.
• Transportation coordination.
• Postoperative lymphatic drainage massages when medically appropriate.
• Follow-up appointments with our medical team.

We generally recommend planning an adequate recovery period in Tijuana, depending on the type and extent of surgery.

Like any major surgical procedure, a tummy tuck involves potential risks.

Possible complications include infection, bleeding, fluid accumulation (seroma), delayed wound healing, blood clots, changes in skin sensation, unfavorable scarring, tissue damage, and anesthesia-related complications.

At Osuri Surgery, patient safety is a priority. Our medical team carefully evaluates each patient's health and surgical risk factors before proceeding.

If preoperative findings indicate that surgery may not be safe, the procedure may be postponed until the appropriate medical conditions are met.

Your health and safety always come before aesthetic goals.

A tummy tuck can significantly improve abdominal contour by removing excess skin and addressing weakened abdominal muscles when indicated.

Results can be long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Pregnancy, significant weight fluctuations, aging, and individual healing characteristics may affect the appearance of your results over time.

Scars are permanent, although they generally become less noticeable as they mature.
