An extended tummy tuck is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back while tightening the abdominal muscles for a smoother, firmer midsection. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy-related changes, or loose skin that cannot be improved with diet and exercise alone.
Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, which focuses only on the front of the abdomen, an extended tummy tuck addresses a larger area, including the sides of the waist and sometimes the lower back. The incision runs slightly longer than a standard tummy tuck, allowing for greater contouring and enhanced results. In some cases, liposuction is used to further refine the shape and improve definition.
Patients can expect a more sculpted, toned appearance and a restored waistline after recovery. While initial swelling and downtime are expected, most individuals can return to light activities within a few weeks, with full results becoming more visible as healing progresses.
If you struggle with excess skin and fat around your midsection and want a more contoured figure, an extended tummy tuck may be the right solution for you. Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and find out how we can help you achieve your aesthetic goals!
