Tummy Tuck in Mallorca
Mini, full and extended abdominoplasty, with diastasis recti repair and lipo-abdominoplasty when indicated. Performed by Dr. García Ceballos in Quirónsalud Palmaplanas. 25 years' experience.
Restoring the abdominal wall, not just removing fat
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) corrects abdominal wall problems that liposuction cannot address: excess skin after pregnancy or weight loss, separation of the rectus abdominis muscles (diastasis recti) and stretch marks below the umbilicus. When indicated, it can be combined with liposculpture for a comprehensive contouring (lipo-abdominoplasty).
Dr. García Ceballos performs abdominoplasty in Quirónsalud Palmaplanas and Son Verí, with full anaesthetic team and 24-hour hospital stay.
Typical candidates
Women after pregnancy or significant weight loss with excess skin and diastasis recti. Men and women after major weight loss (post-bariatric, post-GLP-1) with abdominal panniculus. Patients should be at or near their target weight, non-smokers, in good health and with realistic expectations.

A technique for each abdomen
Mini tummy tuck
Limited dissection and skin removal below the umbilicus, with no umbilical relocation. Suitable for patients with mild excess skin and no significant diastasis. Faster recovery, less visible scar.
Full abdominoplasty
Comprehensive correction: skin and fat removal from pubis to umbilicus, diastasis recti repair, and umbilical relocation. The reference technique for post-pregnancy abdomen.
Extended abdominoplasty
Extends the resection to include the flanks and lower back. Indicated for patients with significant skin redundancy, typically after major weight loss.
Lipo-abdominoplasty
Combines full abdominoplasty with VASER or HD liposculpture of the flanks, upper abdomen and back, in a single surgery. The most comprehensive abdominal contouring procedure.
Post-bariatric abdominoplasty
Tailored to patients after major weight loss (bariatric surgery or GLP-1 therapies such as Ozempic). Manages large skin redundancy and weakened tissues.
Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty
Adds a vertical resection to the horizontal one, suitable for very large skin redundancy. Indicated in selected post-bariatric cases.
Diastasis recti — separation of the rectus abdominis muscles — is corrected by suturing the muscle fascia, restoring abdominal wall function and silhouette. This step is essential in most post-pregnancy cases and cannot be achieved by liposuction.
Week by week after a tummy tuck
Abdominoplasty recovery is more demanding than liposuction but very well tolerated when followed correctly. Patients walk slightly bent for the first week, then progressively upright.
- D1-3
Hospital and compression garment
1–2 nights in hospital. Compression garment fitted immediately. Patients walk from day 1, slightly bent. Drainage tubes (when used) are removed at 24–48 hours.
- D7-10
Discharge from compression and return home
Sutures (if not absorbable) removed. International patients are typically cleared to fly home around day 10. Compression garment continues day and night for 4 weeks.
- W3-4
Return to non-physical work
Sedentary work resumed. Light walking encouraged. No abdominal exercises or lifting.
- W6-8
Light sport resumed
Gradual return to physical activity. Abdominal work reintroduced cautiously after week 8.
- M3-6
Final result
The contour settles. Scars mature over 12 months and are placed in the bikini line to be discreet.
