Abdominal Restoration · São Paulo, Brazil
Abdominoplasty —
Tummy Tuck in Brazil.
LipoAbdominoplasty with diastasis repair at Hospital Albert Einstein. Superior body contouring — not just a flat abdomen, but a sculpted one. SBCP board-certified surgeon.
The Procedure
Beyond a flat stomach
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. In most of Dr. Lucas's cases this is performed as LipoAbdominoplasty — combining precision liposuction with the tummy tuck for three-dimensional body contouring.
Diastasis recti (muscle separation common after pregnancy or significant weight changes) is corrected during the muscular plication phase. This addresses both the aesthetic abdominal projection and functional issues including lower back pain and core instability.
Results are long-lasting when weight remains stable. Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle see the best outcomes at the 5 and 10-year marks.

What the procedure addresses
Four problems. One surgery.
✦
Excess skin
Loose, sagging skin below and above the navel is removed. Umbilicus repositioned naturally for an aesthetically pleasing result.
✦
Stubborn fat
Liposuction is combined with the tummy tuck — targeting flanks, upper abdomen, and adjacent areas simultaneously.
✦
Diastasis recti
Separated abdominal muscles stitched back together. Restores core structure, reduces back pain, eliminates postpartum bulge.
✦
Contour & shape
The LipoAbdominoplasty creates three-dimensional contouring — not just flatness, but shape, definition, and proportion.

FAQ
Everything about Abdominoplasty in Brazil
What is LipoAbdominoplasty?+
LipoAbdominoplasty combines liposuction with a traditional tummy tuck in a single procedure. Used by Dr. Lucas in the vast majority of his cases, this technique produces superior body contouring compared to the tummy tuck alone, and actually improves blood supply to the abdominal flap — reducing complication risk. Result: a sculpted abdomen, not just a flat one.
What is diastasis recti and does abdominoplasty fix it?+
Diastasis recti is the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles — extremely common after pregnancy. It causes the characteristic postpartum abdominal bulge even after weight loss, and may cause lower back pain and core weakness. The muscular plication performed during abdominoplasty corrects diastasis both aesthetically and functionally. Patients frequently report improvement in back discomfort after surgery.
When is mini-abdominoplasty appropriate?+
Mini-abdominoplasty addresses only the lower abdomen with a shorter scar and no umbilical repositioning. It is indicated for patients with minimal excess skin above the navel and no significant muscle separation in the upper abdomen. The right procedure is determined at consultation based on individual anatomy.
How long do I need to stay in Brazil?+
We recommend 14–21 days in São Paulo. The first week requires rest and limited mobility. By week 2–3 most patients are comfortable walking and managing daily activities. Dr. Lucas clears international travel only when recovery is genuinely safe for a long-haul flight.
Can I combine abdominoplasty with other procedures?+
Yes — abdominoplasty is very commonly performed as part of a Mommy Makeover alongside breast surgery. Additional liposuction areas (flanks, back, thighs) can be included. Combining procedures means a single anesthesia, single recovery, and coordinated contouring results.
What does the scar look like?+
The tummy tuck incision is placed low on the abdomen, within the bikini line, designed to be fully concealed by underwear and swimwear. With the scar care protocol Dr. Lucas provides, it fades significantly within 12 months — most patients describe it as barely visible at the 1-year mark.
