Endoscopic abdominoplasty is a procedure that corrects bulging in the abdominal wall by strengthening the abdominal muscles without removing skin. Endoscopic abdominoplasty is performed on younger patients who are not overweight, exercise regularly, and have generally had only one child. Patients with some fat in the abdominal and waist area, no excess skin, but a loosened abdominal wall due to childbirth are suitable candidates for endoscopic abdominoplasty. First, liposuction is performed to thin the skin, and the aesthetic contours of the abdomen, waist, and hips are reshaped. If the patient has a previous cesarean section scar, an incision is made there. If there is no scar, a short 2 cm incision is made. An endoscope is inserted, a camera is placed inside, and the abdominal wall muscles are repaired under the guidance of a screen. In endoscopic abdominoplasty, no skin is removed.
An endoscopic tummy tuck, also known as endoscopic abdominoplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery technique used to tighten abdominal muscles using a small camera (endoscope). This procedure does not remove excess skin and is ideal for patients with muscle laxity but minimal skin sagging.
Good candidates for endoscopic tummy tuck surgery are individuals with good skin elasticity, mild to moderate abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), and little to no excess skin. It is commonly recommended for younger patients or those after pregnancy.
Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, an endoscopic tummy tuck involves small incisions, no large scars, and faster recovery. It focuses on muscle tightening rather than skin removal, making it a less invasive alternative for selected patients.
Recovery after an endoscopic abdominoplasty is relatively quick. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 5 to 10 days, while full physical activity can usually resume after 2 to 3 weeks, depending on individual healing and surgeon recommendations.
