Extended Tummy Tuck
Body Aesthetics
If you are looking for a treatment that targets not only the abdominal area but also the excess skin on the sides, upper thighs and lower back, Extended Tummy Tuck may be an excellent option for you.
Extended Tummy Tuck is also known as circumferential tummy tuck or belt lipectomy. It is an advanced surgical procedure that combines elements of a traditional tummy tuck with additional body contouring techniques.
During an extended tummy tuck, the surgeon makes an arch-like incision that goes around the entire waist. This allows excess skin and fat to be removed from more than one area.
The procedure involves tightening the abdominal muscles for a flatter and firmer appearance. Liposuction of the surrounding areas can also be performed to further contour the body contours.
Extended tummy tuck is suitable for people who have experienced significant weight loss, have loose skin and fat deposits in the abdomen, buttocks and back, or have undergone bariatric surgery.
It is a more comprehensive procedure compared to a traditional tummy tuck. It is designed to address a larger area of the body.
