The stages of high voltage abdominoplasty in Tunisia?

​

1 – Liposuction

Liposuction of the abdomen, to reduce the thickness of the abdominal wall in order to refine it. Liposuction is an essential step in abdominoplasty, as it reduces the detachment during the 2nd step of abdominoplasty.

​

2- Lifting of the abdominal flap

The skin and fatty tissue are lifted off the muscles to the lower edge of the sternum. This detachment of the skin is essential to tighten it down and make a flat stomach.

​

3- Tightening of the abdominal muscles

The tightening of the rectus muscles of the abdominal wall, during the abdominoplasty, makes it possible to recreate a solid abdominal belt, to flatten the stomach area and to refine the waist. This is an essential time that allows you to recreate a flat stomach.

​

Excess skin is removed. The navel (remained in place) is fixed after having created an orifice for its passage. This intervention presents a rather important scar of which you must be aware, this one is horizontal just above the pubis, which is usually hidden by the panties.
