AbEX™ Excess Skin Removal FAQs
Learn more about AbEX, Sono Bello’s tummy tuck alternative. Find answers to common questions about the procedure, recovery, and results.
AbEX is Sono Bello’s tummy tuck alternative that combines TriSculpt micro-laser liposuction with surgical removal of loose abdominal skin in a single awake procedure. Performed under local anesthesia, AbEX avoids general anesthesia and potential hospital stays while delivering a flatter, tighter midsection. Most patients return to light activity within 5 to 10 days.
A traditional tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) requires general anesthesia, muscle repair, drains, and 4 to 6 weeks of recovery, and is usually limited to BMIs under 35. AbEX is performed awake under local anesthesia, removes both fat and skin, does not repair muscles, accommodates BMIs up to 42, and most patients are back to light activity within 5 to 10 days.
The AbEX procedure integrates micro-laser liposuction to remove fat and skin excision to eliminate sagging skin in one seamless treatment. This dual approach helps patients achieve a smoother, more toned abdomen without multiple surgeries. By combining these techniques, AbEX provides comprehensive body contouring results in just one visit.
AbEX can remove some stretch marks because it surgically excises the lower abdominal skin where many stretch marks live. Marks above the navel typically remain, though they may shift position as the skin is excised. The amount of stretch mark removal depends on the location of the marks and the amount of skin removed. Your consultation includes a personalized assessment.
The ideal candidate for the AbEX tummy tuck alternative is someone with excess abdominal fat and loose skin who wants a flatter, more sculpted stomach without undergoing traditional surgery.
Sono Bello’s AbEX® procedure combines micro-laser liposuction with skin removal to deliver those results using a minimally invasive approach. It’s a great option for individuals near their goal weight who are in good health and looking for a faster recovery and less downtime than a conventional tummy tuck.
AbEX can reduce the appearance of stretch marks in areas where excess skin is removed, typically in the lower abdomen. While not guaranteed to eliminate all stretch marks, it significantly improves the abdominal appearance.
AbEX is typically more affordable than a traditional tummy tuck because it does not require general anesthesia, an operating-room hospital setting, or extended recovery costs. Pricing varies by patient based on BMI, the amount of skin and fat removed, and any combined treatment areas. The exact AbEX price is provided at your free consultation. See the affordability page for-financing options.
AbEX recovery is shorter than a traditional tummy tuck. Most patients return to desk work in about a week and resume normal exercise at 4 to 6 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 6 weeks to support healing and discomfort. Discomfort feels similar to soreness after an intense workout and is generally manageable without prescription pain medication for many patients after about a week.
Sono Bello’s AbEX stomach sculpting procedure is designed to deliver comprehensive results in a single session. However, during your consultation, your surgeon will determine if additional treatments are needed based on your goals and specific body contouring needs.
