Many people opt for this type of surgery following significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies to tighten sagging skin. There are several variations of the tummy tuck procedure such as the Formal, the Mini, and the Extended abdominoplasty procedures. You can call and schedule a consultation with a qualified surgeon who is a member of the American Board of Plastic Surgeons to discuss what options are available to you, costs of surgery, recovery times and more.

Individuals often choose an abdominoplasty procedure to take care of fat that is around the abdomen, weak muscles, and sagging skin. Choices such as the full or formal, the mini, and the extended types of procedures are chosen based on the severity of the patient’s condition. When seeking to get a tummy tuck procedure done, you should make sure the surgeon you choose has the appropriate credentials and has a lot of experience performing this type of procedure.
A Formal tummy abdominoplasty procedure which involves an incision that runs along the pubic area from one hip to the complete opposite hip. Because this incision is low, it can be hidden by a bikini or underwear. Fat is liposuctioned out, excess skin is removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened and when preformed by a qualified surgeon there is minimal scarring with this procedure

Another tummy tuck procedure is the Mini which involves a less invasive approach than the Formal but uses a similar incision and also eliminates the naval incision. This process can be used by a surgeon for mild levels of sagging where there is just a minimal amount of fat and there is no tightening needed above the belly button. The Extended procedure is the same as the full except that it extends up the regions of the hip and around the back area where there is excess fat and sagging around the torsos’ entire midsection. Getting a skilled plastic surgeon to perform these procedures is vital for a successful outcome.
