Abdominoplasty — Services
What Is abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape the abdominal wall by removing excess skin and subcutaneous fat, eliminating stretch marks in the lower abdomen, and restoring muscle tone. The operation is especially relevant after significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies when diet and exercise can no longer restore a toned midsection.
Dr. Khaustov performs both full and mini-abdominoplasty, choosing the scope of surgery based on the extent of changes. Full abdominoplasty includes diastasis recti repair, which restores abdominal wall strength and defines the waistline. The incision is placed low, in the bikini zone, and is hidden under clothing.
At Figura Clinic in Odesa, abdominoplasty is often combined with flank liposuction to create smooth body contours. Dr. Khaustov pays special attention to scar aesthetics and creating a natural-looking navel.

How the Procedure Works
Consultation
Assessment of abdominal wall condition, diastasis severity, and tissue excess. Determining whether full or mini-abdominoplasty is appropriate.
Preparation
Full examination: blood tests, ECG, abdominal ultrasound. Weight stabilization before surgery. Stop smoking 3–4 weeks before.
Surgery
General anesthesia, duration 2–4 hours. Removal of excess skin and fat, diastasis repair, navel reshaping. Flank liposuction if needed.
Recovery
Compression garment for 6–8 weeks. Drains removed after 2–5 days. Gradual return to activity within 3–4 weeks.
Recovery
Abdominoplasty recovery requires patience. The first 5–7 days are the most uncomfortable — rest and walking in a slightly bent position are recommended. Drains are removed on days 2–5. A compression garment is worn 24/7 for 6–8 weeks. Light work can resume after 2–3 weeks, exercise after 6–8 weeks. The scar gradually fades and becomes barely visible over 6–12 months. The final result develops over 3–6 months.
