What is JW’s Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes sagging abdominal fat and tightens separated abdominal muscle to create a slimmer and smoother waistline.
Pregnancy, childbirth, or excessive dieting can cause the abdomen to lose elasticity,
which can be corrected with abdominoplasty.
In particular, when there is severe sagging or wrinkling of the skin, a simple liposuction alone is not enough and proper abdominoplasty procedure is required to remove the excess skin and tissue.
Most clinics perform abdominoplasty with only liposuction,
but JW Plastic Surgery uses a meticulous skin excision technique during the procedure for more effective results.
If necessary, liposuction and skin excision are performed together to achieve higher patient satisfaction.

What Makes JW Plastic Surgery Unique
JW Plastic Surgery’s abdominoplasty does more than just remove fat.
It’s aim is to create a beautiful and defined waistline.
1
Liposuction
When skin laxity is mild and the elasticity is good,
the abdominal line can be improved with liposuction alone.
2
Liposuction + Skin Excision
Perform liposuction and skin excision simultaneously
to remove a larger fat amount and create a smooth abdomen and waistline.
3
Extensive Experience
With an accurate understanding of the abdominal anatomical structure and with
significant accumulated experience, surgeries are performed with high precision and high-quality results
4
Customized Surgery
The surgical plan and method is determined depending on the degree of past weight loss, skin elasticity, and sagging.

If skin laxity is mild and the elasticity quality is still good, liposuction alone can still bring excellent results.
