This program is a great opportunity for anyone who needs to remove excess skin from their abdomen. The Ministry of Health will also offer close to 1000 abdominoplasty procedures starting in June.

The Ministry of Health’s program seeks to select 974 individuals, both men and women, who wish to remove excess skin from their abdomens, also known as the “apron abdomen”. However, this program requires that candidates go through an extensive evaluation filter and meet certain requirements in order to be eligible for this free type of plastic surgery. These requirements are necessary to eliminate complications.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, a type of plastic surgery, is performed to improve the appearance of the abdomen. Patients must have excess skin-derived mainly through pregnancies, and be overweight to practice it.

It is also important to note that this complex procedure involves the removal of excess skin, repair of abdominal muscles and reconstruction of the abdomen. Professionals are able to give the patient personalized attention and determine if he is a candidate for abdominoplasty.

To ensure quality results, it is important that the patient follows their postoperative period. Otherwise, there may be healing problems or seromas.

What’s the point of this program?

Abdominoplasty is currently ranked 5th among the most sought-after plastic surgeries in the world, according to Dr. Claudio Thomas (President of The Chilean Society of Plastic Surgery), during his visit on the Chilean television program “Welcome”.

Abdominoplasty Resolution Plan is a program that allows people with excessive skin to the abdomen to have an abdominoplasty. It’s primarily for those in grade 5. Selecting 974 individuals must meet certain requirements.

• It is preferred that the patient quit smoking at least four months prior to the operation.
• Candidates must have a Type 5 stomach. This means that the amount of flaccidity in their abdomen or skin must reach the pubic area.
