As we age or experience childbirth,
the abdomen can change not only from
weight fluctuations but also from skin laxity,
leading to a less defined and less clean contour.
Many people experience sagging in the lower abdomen,
with skin folds and wrinkling depending on movement,
which can cause discomfort in daily life.
Those with uneven or poorly healed
C-section scars often feel more concerned
when visiting public baths, saunas, pools,
or vacation spots where the abdomen is exposed.
If these physical changes cannot be improved
through self-care alone, it may indicate reduced
recovery of the skin layer and muscle layer,
making medical evaluation and professional
abdominal correction treatment helpful.
Through today’s case, you will see
how abdominoplasty at Lesarts can improve
these concerns and restore the abdominal contour.
This patient showed decreased skin elasticity
throughout the entire abdomen, causing the
lower abdominal area to sag and gather downward
into a more pronounced drooping pattern.
The C-section scar overlapped with the sagging
abdominal skin, making it appear darker and more
visible, especially when the abdomen folded over it.
From the side view, the area below the navel
appeared protruded, creating an unnatural
front-abdominal line and disrupting overall balance.
When bending the body forward,
the weakened skin of the upper abdomen
shifted downward by gravity, causing the
loose tissue to collapse toward the lower area.
Because the stretched rectus muscles
could not support the protruding abdominal wall,
the front-abdominal volume increased,
making the midsection appear even fuller.
The abdomen, flanks, and love-handle areas
also contained noticeable fat, and when added
to the sagging skin with poor elasticity,
the waistline inevitably appeared wider.
The lack of a defined waist, combined with
the hip dip deformity in the hip-dip region,
prevented a smooth hourglass curve, indicating
that correction was also necessary there.
To improve this patient’s abdominal condition,
we recommended the following abdominoplasty
treatment plan tailored to her concerns.
1.M-Type Abdominoplasty
-Lifts sagging skin from the upper to lower abdomen
-Removes the existing C-section scar
2.Triple-Lock Rectus Muscle Repair
-Corrects the central and bilateral rectus muscles
-Improves abdominal firmness and creates
a more defined waist contour
3.Navel Correction
-Recreates the navel as the lifted upper skin
pulls downward during tightening
-Repositions the navel into a stable,
natural location that matches the new contour
4.Abdominal Liposuction
-Removes excess fat from -the abdomen, flanks,
and love-handle areas to refine the waist
-Enhances the synergy of the abdominoplasty
5.Hip Dip Fat Transfer
-Adds volume to the hip dip region,
restoring curvature and improving silhouette
The skin that had sagged and slid down from
the upper abdomen before surgery created
deep folds in the lower abdomen,
and together with the cesarean-section scar,
the area below the navel appeared noticeably protruded.
The waistline had also disappeared due to
the separated rectus muscles and side fat.
Before surgery,
the patient’s lower-abdominal skin
was loosely stretched and sagging,
with deep folds forming,
and a clear bulging protrusion
below the navel.
The shape of the navel
had also become distorted
due to the skin sagging.
Two months after abdominoplasty and abdominal liposuction,
the sagging improved, and the waistline was corrected into a slimmer shape.
In addition, fat grafting was performed to
create a smooth line connecting the waist to the pelvis,
resulting in a naturally feminine curve.
Even in a forward-bending posture,
you can now see the corrected sagging,
the firmer upper abdomen,
and the refined waistline.
Before surgery, when bending forward,
both the muscles and the skin
lacked sufficient elasticity.
This caused the abdominal volume
to increase instantly and the
lower abdomen to shift downward
at a diagonal angle.
These issues were fully improved
through abdominoplasty, which
restores abdominal elasticity,
abdominal wall correction,
and abdominal liposuction,
which reduces abdominal weight.
As a result, even when bending forward,
the abdomen maintains a firm shape
without shifting or sagging.
In the side view, the lower abdominal skin
and the cesarean-section scar area
stood out prominently, making the sagging
and wrinkles more noticeable.
This imbalance in the lower abdomen shape
and the heaviness of the lower belly
naturally became major concerns
for the patient.
Through surgery, these issues were
firmly corrected, and the line connecting
the flank, love handles, pelvis,
and hips gained a smooth curve.
This created a more youthful figure
even in her forties.
For this patient, both the cesarean scar
and the skin laxity remaining after childbirth
were improved at the same time, and
hip-dip fat grafting was performed together
to enhance the curve leading into the lower body.
The goal was to restore balance
to the overall body proportions.
At two months after abdominoplasty,
the patient showed a stable healing state
at the incision site, and she will continue
with scar care and regular follow-up checks.
Abdominoplasty lifts the visibly sagging
abdominal skin and firmly corrects
the stretched rectus muscles beneath,
making it a procedure that restores function
and overcomes the limitations many face
when self-care alone cannot improve sagging.
With accurate understanding of the surgery
and a tailored surgical plan that suits
each individual’s condition, followed by
proper recovery management, this procedure
can provide a positive solution for those
experiencing similar concerns.
