Why Consider Circumferential Abdominoplasty?
Circumferential abdominoplasty involves removing excess skin and, in some cases, tightening the underlying muscles to adjust the contour of the midsection. This procedure is particularly suitable for patients who have undergone massive weight loss, including post-bariatric surgery patients, as it addresses the excess skin and tissue that can result from such changes.
Dr Anh Nguyen tailors this procedure to align with the patient’s specific anatomical needs, focusing on comprehensive adjustments to the midsection. These changes aim to address the patient’s physical concerns.

Post Weight Loss Circumferential Abdominoplasty
Following significant weight loss, individuals may consider circumferential abdominoplasty to address the resulting excess skin that can affect the appearance of their midsection and lower back. This extensive weight loss often leaves individuals with excess skin that does not conform to their new body shape, and circumferential abdominoplasty provides a means to achieve alterations tailored to their post-weight loss body. This procedure offers a comprehensive solution to make specific changes around the entire waistline, focusing on adjustments that reflect the individual’s aesthetic goals.

Post Pregnancy Circumferential Abdominoplasty
Similarly, post-pregnancy circumferential abdominoplasty can be an option for women looking to make alterations to their abdominal area and possibly the lower back following childbirth. Pregnancy can lead to significant changes in the body, including the stretching of skin and muscles in the abdomen. For some women, circumferential abdominoplasty may provide a way to address these changes more extensively, particularly when there is significant excess skin. The procedure is tailored to their post-pregnancy body, aiming to achieve specific changes that align with their personal aesthetic goals following the physical impact of pregnancy.

Circumferential Abdominoplasty in Women and Men
It’s essential to recognise that the surgical principles may be similar, but the anatomical considerations and aesthetic goals can vary between genders. For women, the procedure may focus on addressing changes related to pregnancy and altering the contour of the waistline and lower back in a way that aligns with their specific body goals, considering the natural contours of the female body.
In contrast, when considering circumferential abdominoplasty for men, the emphasis might be on addressing excess skin following significant weight loss, with goals often centred around changing the definition and contours of the waistline and back. The procedure for men is customised to respect the natural masculinity of the male body, focusing on achieving alterations that complement the male form and aesthetic preferences.
