Abdominoplasty

The abdomen is a part of the body that is easily subject to the excess of fat, deformities,  imperfections. Pregnancies, sudden weight loss or gains and a decrease of muscle tone can cause skin excess, fat accumulation and the appearance of stretch marks.

Keeping a dry and toned belly is the desire of many women and men. In many cases neither proper nutrition nor physical activity are enough not to feel dissatisfaction with your body. Luckily, there is a solution, called abdominoplasty, a surgery that guarantees a new tone to the abdomen, remove the discomfort of a overhanging belly  and that gives back harmony to the silhouette.

Keeping a dry and toned belly is the desire of many women and men. In many cases neither proper nutrition nor physical activity are enough not to feel dissatisfaction with your body. Luckily, there is a solution, called abdominoplasty, a surgery that guarantees a new tone to the abdomen, remove the discomfort of a overhanging belly  and that gives back harmony to the silhouette.

With the first consultation I make sure that the patient is in good health, I explain the risks and possible complications. I also illustrate the achievable results (realistic and in line with patient wishes).

During the surgery, performed  under general anesthesia, I make very low incisions in the pubis area hip to hip   to prepare a flap and then remove the  excess fat and skin. I always reinforce The abdominal muscle fascia in order to reinforce and make the abdominal wall flatter. In the event of a DIASTASIS of the rectus muscles (separation of the abdominal muscles) this is always corrected with sutures in 3 layers that bring together the separated muscles and in some serious cases also through the use of mesh. In the event that there are hernias of the abdominal wall or in the umbilicus, these are also repaired. ”

Upon awakening it is frequent to feel some pain that vanishes in less than 5 days. After the surgery I first apply a compression bandage and later, a containment band to wear for another four weeks.

Some scars may be permanent but they will become small, slightly visible white marks. During the recovery, which can last from six to eight weeks, the rest from any physical activity is needed and, during the first two weeks, you should even avoid working. The result of all of this? A smooth abdomen, more tonic and in balance with the  body.

FAQ

Doubts or questions? It’s only natural to have any! Below I try to answer the most frequent ones. For further clarification you can write to me at any time, I will answer as soon as possible.

Yes, since it is general anaesthesia, you should not eat or drink for about six hours before the operation.
Yes. In order to promote rapid recovery and reduce the risk of infection, smokers should refrain from smoking, starting at least two weeks before the operation.
It is not recommended, but there is a possibility that it is necessary to stop taking them.
The operation takes about two or three hours and requires a one or two nights hospitalization. There are three types of possible surgery: standard, partial and extensive abdominoplasty. Standard abdominoplasty: it is one of the best known techniques, it consist in an incision along the lower abdomen that allows me to tighten the stomach muscles (contouring process) and remove excess fat and skin. I then tighten the skin down and close the incision. Finally, after a small incision around the navel necessary to reposition it, I insert the draining tubes and make a compression bandage. Partial abdominoplasty: it is a less invasive technique because it does not involve moving the navel and is dedicated to those women who have excess skin and fat located in the lower abdomen. Extended abdominoplasty: Identical to standard abdominoplasty, this procedure also requires lateral liposuction with ultrasound (Vaser) to eliminate excess skin and fat from the hips and waist.

The best choices for patient well-being

Non è un medico e’il MEDICO …trattamenti naturali che durano e migliorano con il passare del tempo ! Grazie dott Massimiliano Marcellino ❤️
Where do I even begin? This review is long overdue.

I had surgery with Dr Marcellino for a scar revision, uplift, and implants back in November. Following a previous breast reduction with another surgeon that unfortunately left me with severe keloid scarring. This completely destroyed my confidence for years, so choosing to go through surgery again was a huge decision for me.

From my initial consultation a few months prior to surgery, right through to the operation itself and the aftercare, the entire process with Dr Marcellino and his team was nothing short of incredible. Everything was seamless, effortless, and reassuring with absolutely zero issues before or after surgery.

The results have honestly changed my life. My scarring is now minimal to almost nonexistent, and I have never felt this confident in my body throughout my twenties. Dr Marcellino’s attention to detail is second to none. The lift looks so natural that you would never even know I have implants. He truly listened to my concerns and fully understood my vision for how I wanted them to look — and he exceeded every expectation.

I cannot thank Dr Marcellino enough, along with his incredible team and nurses who work alongside him. If you are considering a cosmetic procedure anywhere in the UK, I genuinely believe this is the surgeon you should trust.

I first met Dr Marcellino in 2006 when I had an upper blepharoplasty performed by him. The results were amazing and although the change was subtle, to me it felt massive in that it gave me confidence and really opened up my eyes.
Now nearly 20 years later I noticed my eyelids were a bit droopy again and so went back to see him.. I have just had another upper blepharoplasty and could not be happier, just as good as the first time.
It has been clear to me throughout that Dr Marcellino is very skilled which has made me feel safe. He has such a nice warm, kind and caring way about him. His 2 P A’s Giunko and Winta have also been very helpful and always available. Nothing is ever too much trouble for this team.
I cannot recommend Dr Marcellino enough and feel he has given me back a spring in my step😀 Very happy.

I Got breast implants once and notice things started to change plus it is against Jesus to get a nose job breast implants, or butt injection but if you do not get any breast implants nose job or butt injections then you have a really good chance at a better life and it is not against Jesus to not get breast implants. You can ask Jesus for forgiveness and has the power to forgive sin.
Mastoplastica additiva
Finalmente dopo anni il Dottor Marcellino mi ha permesso di avere il corpo che desidero.
Dopo aver perso molti kg il mio seno era completamente svuotato e dopo la gravidanza era anche sceso.
Con tatto, professionalità e profonda carineria il Dottor Marcellino da subito si è mostrato attento e comprensivo verso le mie esigenze e mi ha consigliato la protesi più giusta per me.
Ho così ottenuto un seno pieno sodo alto senza risultare però troppo vistoso o volgare.
Il post chirurgico è stato molto soft ed eccetto la stanchezza causata dall’ anestesia me la sono cavata con un blandissimo antinfiammatorio al giorno per soli tre giorni. Consiglio il dottore a ogni donna che vuole sentirsi bene con se stessa.
Grazie di vero cuore
Response from the owner:La ringraziamo di cuore per le sue parole così generose. Per il Dott. Marcellino è fondamentale ascoltare attentamente ogni paziente, comprendere le sue esigenze e accompagnarla con professionalità, tatto e attenzione in tutte le fasi del percorso. Siamo felici che il risultato abbia soddisfatto le sue aspettative, garantendo un aspetto naturale e armonioso, e che il post-operatorio sia stato gestibile e sereno. Grazie per la fiducia accordata e per consigliare la nostra esperienza ad altre donne.
I have done my surgery with dr max and im very happy with results he is a expert on breast surgery and that was one of the reasons that i choose him.
I highly recommend his clinic.
Received top eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) in June 2025 thank you to Dr Marcellino for taking great care of me the results are truly remarkable bravo grazie
I had a breast augmentation with Dr Marcellino and my experience was outstanding. I had seen a few surgeons already by the time I met Dr Max and as soon as I had my consultation, I knew I had found the right surgeon. He has a very relaxed demeanour which immediately puts you at ease and he takes a lot of time to go through all the questions you might have. I'd done my research on his track record so knew I was in good hands. The operation went smoothly and I can't believe it has been 5 months already - I'm delighted with the results and only wish I had done it sooner!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr Max Marcellino and I am so happy with the results. I had been wanting a breast enlargement for years + I did a lot of research into the procedure and different surgeons in London and I wasn’t happy with any surgeon until I came across Dr Marcellino, who was recommended to me by a relative. Probably the best decision I ever made, having this surgery done by him as he is simply amazing! From the first appointment to my surgery and now in my recovery he and his team have been beyond excellent. I was very nervous about my surgery, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but the anaesthesiologists were amazing with keeping me calm as well as my Nurse ‘Esther’. Really made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything will be okay and it did. Nearly a month into my recovery and I couldn’t be happier with my results, I am so glad that I chose Dr Marcellino because realistically I wouldn’t of had the surgery done if I didn’t find him.

Thank you so much for making my confidence boost and making me feel beautiful :) I really recommend Dr Marcellino, and all the staff at The London Welbeck Hospital :)
