Are you looking for abdominal surgery, specifically abdominoplasty in Ribeirão Preto?
Abdominoplasty is a widely performed procedure today, recommended for healthy men and women who experience excess skin, abdominal laxity, localized fat deposits, and muscle separation — conditions that often do not respond to diet and exercise alone.
The main goal of the procedure is to reshape the abdominal area, creating a more harmonious and proportionate body contour. This is achieved through the removal of excess skin and fat, along with tightening of the abdominal muscles, resulting in a firmer, smoother-looking abdomen.
If you are considering this type of surgery in Ribeirão Preto, it is important to understand whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure — and, of course, to rely on a qualified professional to ensure safety and satisfying results.
Abdominoplasty surgery takes between two and four hours and, depending on each individual case, the surgeon may choose between epidural anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
A horizontal incision is made following the natural bikini line, and its length varies according to the amount of tissue to be removed.
There are two types of abdominal plastic surgery: mini abdominoplasty, which uses a smaller incision, and classic abdominoplasty, in which the incision is longer and the skin is removed up to the level of the navel. In this case, a second incision is made around the belly button.
In some situations, liposuction or liposculpture may be combined with abdominoplasty to enhance the contour of the waist and legs.

Occasionally, surgical drains are used for a few days to prevent fluid accumulation during the healing process.
Regular lymphatic drainage sessions are important for recovery.
Compression garments are worn to improve blood circulation, with duration varying from patient to patient.
Return to work depends on proper healing. Sun exposure and physical effort should be avoided for approximately two months, and medical follow-ups must be strictly observed.
Results become visible between three and six months. Although scars are permanent, they tend to become discreet over time and are usually hidden under underwear.
Abdominoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures by Dr. Ricardo Alexandre Silveira, a plastic surgeon based in Ribeirão Preto and a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.
Primarily indicated after pregnancy or significant weight loss, the procedure addresses skin and muscle laxity (diastasis), while also removing stretch marks and excess fat from the abdominal area. Scars are discreet, positioned below the bikini line and around the navel. The need for surgical drains depends on each patient’s body type.
Abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction and gluteal fat grafting, enhancing body contour, lifting the buttocks, and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
The surgery lasts approximately three hours and is performed under epidural anesthesia with light sedation, requiring a 24-hour hospital stay. Postoperative care includes the use of a compression garment, stockings, lymphatic drainage, and anticoagulant medication. Final results develop over up to 12 months. Patients prone to hypertrophic scarring are monitored throughout the entire healing process. In milder cases, a mini-abdominoplasty may be recommended, offering a faster recovery.
