What is a Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery (or abdominoplasty) is a body contouring procedure that treats excess skin, fat, and muscle separation to create a tighter, flatter abdomen. With customized surgical techniques tailored specifically to your anatomy, a tummy tuck offers stunning, natural-looking results and enhanced self-confidence.
Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgery has long been a favorite plastic surgery procedure due to demand, efficacy, and longevity of results. Most of our Tummy Tuck patients experience a boost in self-confidence, as well as improvements in how they look and feel in clothes and swimwear. Tummy tuck surgery eliminates excess skin and gives patients a flatter, smoother, and more youthful body contour.
Types of Tummy Tucks
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is exactly what it sounds like, a less extensive version of the full tummy tuck. The incision is smaller since it only treats the skin and fat below the belly button, leaving a short scar along the bikini line. Abdominal muscle repair is generally not included.
Full Tummy Tuck
During a full tummy tuck, the incision runs horizontally from one hip to the other. After detaching the navel and freeing the skin from the abdominal wall, the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscle and removes the excess skin and fat. This process results in a smoother, flatter, more youthful-looking abdominal contour.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck has the longest incision. The incision extends across the abdomen and toward the lower back. In addition to removing excess skin and fat, your surgeon may also suture the abdominal muscle together if necessary.
Commonly Paired
Procedures
Liposuction: Our tummy tucks include liposuction of the abdomen, but many patients add on other areas, the most popular being lipo 360 to help the back of the torso "match" the front.
Mommy Makeover: While this is a very broad term that can include a variety of procedures due to the customizable nature of mommy makeovers, many patients reduce recovery time and save money by only needing to pay one anesthesia fee by adding other procedures to their tummy tuck.
Tight and Toned
There are areas of the body that can be nearly impossible to tone and tighten through diet and exercise alone. Factors such as pregnancy, weight change, and age significantly influence metabolism, fat accumulation, and skin elasticity. The abdominal muscles and skin along the lower half of the abdomen are notorious for being stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise. In addition, pregnancy can also actually create more skin and decrease skin elasticity. Pregnancy also can separate your abdominal wall muscles known as diastasis recti. A tummy tuck can be an effective solution for muscle separation, laxity, excess skin, and fat storage around the belly.
