Types of Tummy-Tuck
There are three types of tummy tuck surgeries in trend. These are:
- Full Abdominoplasty
In this procedure, a cesarean section is used to perform the abdominal fat removal procedure. An additional incision is made around the umbilicus. The skin below the navel is removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened while the skin envelope is simultaneously tightened through skin removal. Additionally, liposuction is commonly performed to enhance abdominal contouring. This procedure effectively eliminates most of the stretch marks present in the abdomen.
- Mini Abdominoplasty
It is frequently suggested to patients who are in generally good health but are having trouble getting the ideal abdominal appearance with diet and exercise alone. It is especially helpful for people with lower abdominal skin laxity.
- Extended or High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty
This typically follows a full abdominoplasty and addresses the loose skin that develops in the hips and thighs area after significant weight loss or pregnancy, as well as the excess skin that is present on the sides. In addition to enhancing the abdominal contour, this surgery also improves the shape of the thighs and hips.
