Types of tummy tuck:
Mini Tummy Tuck:
A Mini Tummy Tuck is ideal for individuals who have mild to moderate abdominal skin laxity or excess fat below the belly button. This procedure targets the lower abdomen and is typically less invasive than other types of tummy tucks. The incision is smaller, and recovery time is generally quicker. It’s a great option for patients who are looking to achieve a flatter, firmer stomach without extensive surgery.
Modified Tummy Tuck:
A Modified Tummy Tuck is a more versatile procedure designed for patients who need to address moderate abdominal skin laxity, excess fat, and some muscle separation. This procedure combines the benefits of both the Mini Tummy Tuck and Full Tummy Tuck, allowing for a more customized approach with a slightly larger incision than the mini but not as extensive as the full/extended version. It also provides a more dramatic result in cases where a mini tuck would not be sufficient.
Full/Extended Tummy Tuck:
For patients with significant abdominal skin laxity, excess fat, or muscle separation, the Full/Extended Tummy Tuckis the most comprehensive option. This procedure involves a larger incision that allows for the removal of a substantial amount of excess skin and fat. The extended tummy tuck option also addresses the flanks and sides for a more sculpted and balanced appearance. It is ideal for those who have undergone significant weight loss or pregnancy, leaving behind excess skin that cannot be corrected by diet or exercise alone.
Combining Tummy Tuck with 360 Liposuction and Muscle Repair:
At SUN, we believe in providing patients with the best possible results, which is why we combine Tummy Tuck surgery with 360 Liposuction for a more comprehensive body contouring procedure. Liposuction helps to remove stubborn fat from the abdomen, sides, and back, creating a smoother, more sculpted silhouette.
In cases where the abdominal muscles have separated, often due to pregnancy, weight gain, or aging; we also perform Muscle Repair during the tummy tuck procedure. This is known as diastasis recti repair and involves stitching the abdominal muscles back together to restore strength and functionality, in addition to improving the overall appearance of the abdomen.
