What Can a Tummy Tuck Help With?

Which Type of Tummy Tuck Suits You Best?
Choosing the right tummy tuck depends on the amount of excess skin, the location of fat deposits, and the condition of your abdominal muscles.
Here’s an overview of the different surgical options available:
Full Tummy Tuck (Standard Abdominoplasty)
Ideal for individuals with significant loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles.
This comprehensive procedure removes excess fat and skin across the midsection and reinforces weakened muscles to restore a firmer, flatter abdomen.
Extended Tummy Tuck
Recommended for patients with sagging skin not just in the central abdomen but also extending to the sides, flanks, and lower back.
This approach allows for a more extensive contouring and can address muscle separation if needed.
Mini Tummy Tuck
Best suited for those with a small amount of skin laxity confined to the lower stomach – typically between the pubic area and belly button.
This technique focuses on smoothing and tightening the lower abdominal area and may include muscle repair.
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck (FDL)
Designed for those with a large amount of excess skin both vertically and horizontally, often after major weight loss.
The skin is drawn inward and downward, producing a tighter, more contoured appearance through both vertical and horizontal incisions.
Brazilian Tummy Tuck
A modern approach that combines liposuction with skin tightening, best for patients who have loose skin but less fat. Fat is sculpted from the abdomen, waist, and flanks, and skin is tightened simultaneously. This method often allows for faster healing and can sometimes be performed as a day case.
