What is recovery like? Will there be scars?
Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months, but with a balanced diet and regular exercise results are long-lasting. Abdominoplasty will likely leave a permanent scar extending between the hipbones, although it should be low enough for even a bikini to conceal it. Patients who have had previous abdominal surgery should know that their old scars may be relocated, stretched or may need revision during the procedure.
