What is Abdominoplasty 360?
Abdominoplasty 360 is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the entire midsection — front, sides, and lower back — while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. Unlike a standard tummy tuck that only addresses the front, the 360 approach sculpts your entire waistline in a single session.
How Does Abdominoplasty 360 Work?
- 1A low incision is made along the bikini line, extending around the hips for full 360-degree access
- 2Excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back
- 3Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are sutured back together for a firm, flat core
- 4The remaining skin is re-draped and tightened around the entire midsection
- 5The navel is repositioned to its natural location
- 6Drains are placed to prevent fluid accumulation — removed within 5–7 days
Who is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty 360?
- Women who have excess skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Patients with separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise cannot fix
- Individuals within 10–15 kg of their ideal weight with stable weight for at least 6 months
- Those with excess skin wrapping around the flanks and lower back, not just the front
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit 4–6 weeks before and after surgery
Why Choose Abdominoplasty 360 at MedProper?
Full 360° Contouring
Sculpts the entire midsection — not just the front — for a proportional, balanced silhouette.
Muscle Repair
Repairs diastasis recti, restoring core strength and eliminating the post-pregnancy "pooch" that no amount of exercise can fix.
Long-Lasting Results
Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight. The removed skin and fat cells do not regenerate.
Confidence Restored
Patients report dramatic improvements in self-confidence, clothing fit, and comfort in their own skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
The incision follows your bikini line and is designed to be hidden under underwear or swimwear. Scars fade significantly over 12–18 months and are further minimised with silicone scar therapy included in your aftercare.
Yes, pregnancy is safe after abdominoplasty. However, pregnancy may stretch the repaired muscles and skin, potentially affecting your results. We recommend completing your family before this procedure for optimal, long-lasting results.
No. Liposuction only removes fat — it cannot tighten loose skin or repair separated muscles. Abdominoplasty 360 addresses all three: excess fat, loose skin, and muscle separation. Many patients combine both for the best outcome.
Abdominoplasty is not a weight-loss procedure. Typically 2–5 kg of skin and tissue are removed. The real transformation is in body shape, contour, and how your clothes fit — not the number on the scale.
Light walking from day 1. Gentle cardio (walking, cycling) from week 4. Full gym workouts and core exercises from month 3. Your surgeon will clear each stage during follow-up appointments.
