What is Abdominoplasty 360?

Abdominoplasty 360 is a tummy tuck whose horizontal incision continues all the way round the body. Excess skin is removed from the front of the abdomen, along the flanks and across the lower back, the separated abdominal muscles are repaired and the navel is repositioned. There is no vertical incision: when the skin also has to come in from side to side, the operation for that is the FDL abdominoplasty. Liposuction is not part of it and is quoted as its own item.

How Does Abdominoplasty 360 Work?

  1. 1A low horizontal incision is made along the bikini line and continued around the flanks to meet across the back
  2. 2Excess skin and fat are removed from the front, the flanks and the lower back
  3. 3Separated abdominal muscles are sutured back together
  4. 4The navel is repositioned into its natural place on the tightened skin
  5. 5The skin is redraped and closed in layers all the way round
  6. 6Drains are placed to prevent fluid build-up and removed within 5-7 days

Who is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty 360?

  • Loose abdominal skin at the front after pregnancy or significant weight loss
  • Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise cannot close
  • Stubborn fat on the flanks and back as well as the abdomen
  • Within 10–15 kg of a stable target weight for at least six months
  • Non-smokers, or willing to stop for the period the surgeon specifies

Why Choose Abdominoplasty 360 at MedProper?

Skin Removed All the Way Round

The front, the flanks and the lower back are tightened in one operation rather than leaving loose skin at the sides

Muscle Repair Included

Diastasis recti is closed in the same operation — the part no amount of exercise reaches

Scar Along the Underwear Line

The incision sits low all the way round, where underwear and swimwear cover it

Liposuction Priced Separately

You pay for contouring only if your surgeon recommends it, and you see it as its own line on your plan

Frequently Asked Questions

The incision: it runs all the way round the body, horizontally, so loose skin is removed from the front, the flanks and the back. A 180 stops at the front and a 270 reaches the sides.

No. This operation tightens the skin downwards only. If your skin also needs to be brought in from side to side, your surgeon plans an FDL abdominoplasty, which adds a vertical incision down the middle.

No. Liposuction is a separate item on your plan: your surgeon adds Liposuction 360 or a zone row beside this operation when he plans it, and you see it as its own line with its own price.

Yes, but a pregnancy can stretch the repaired muscles and skin again and change the result. Surgeons usually suggest completing your family first.

The removed skin does not come back, the muscle repair is permanent and the fat cells removed by liposuction do not return. Remaining fat can still grow, which is why a stable weight matters.
