She understands that sometimes simply dieting and exercising are not enough to change your waistline problems. Many patients after trying everything, including non-surgical procedures, find that having a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) can solve the unpleasant issues they wish to correct.
A tummy tuck can remove the excess skin or fatty deposits from your stomach, along with repositioning the abdominal muscles to create a tighter form. This is designed for patients who wish to have a flatter and tighter stomach. It’s helpful also to correct the vertical separation of abdominal muscles known as diastasis, which can occur after pregnancy.
An abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck) is a surgical procedure that reshapes the abdominal contour. This cosmetic surgery is custom-created to match each patient’s anatomy and goals, providing the end result as a thinner, tighter, sleeker figure with enhanced curves.
The Tummy Offers Many Additional Benefits
Consider a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) if you have loose, sagging abdominal skin, frequently associated with the relaxation of the stomach muscles (most common in women who have had multiple pregnancies or prior surgery). Tummy tuck surgery can also help if you cannot tighten your abdominal skin with exercise or have excess skin or stretch marks. A full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) will give you a smoother, flatter stomach, returning to your youthful figure. Something also to consider is LIPO360.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is usually performed under general anesthesia. Various types of abdominoplasties can be done, and Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch will discuss this with you at your consultation. Mini-abdominoplasties can sometimes be performed under sedation and local anesthesia.
• Mini Abdominoplasty
Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery addresses the lower portion of the abdomen and has the shortest incision. Liposuction is usually performed in the upper and lower abdomen but skin is only removed from the lower abdomen.
• Standard Abdominoplasty
Standard Tummy Tuck Surgery helps with the upper and lower abdomen and includes tightening of the muscles, removal of excess skin, and liposuction for contouring. The incision for this procedure is low and usually stays within the hip bones.
• Extended Abdominoplasty
Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery addressees all the same things as standard abdominoplasty, but also removes additional excess skin of the flanks/hips region. This procedure is usually reserved for those that have had massive weight loss. This incision is the longest and extends beyond the hip bones and onto the hip (hidden in the bikini line).
Abdominoplasty usually requires more time for your recovery. Most patients can start moving and walking within one to two days. Light activity is comfortable in 3 to 5 days. Stationary bike and walking on a treadmill or outside are comfortable at 2 weeks, and running, jogging, and higher impact sports will not be comfortable for about 4 weeks.
A Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, is a highly specialized tummy tuck technique used for patients after significant weight loss to remove skin both horizontally and vertically. This procedure creates two separate scars: one horizontal across the lower abdomen and one vertical along the midline, with the final scar resulting in an upside-down “T.” This procedure is a good option for individuals with significant skin laxity and fat deposits on the abdomen. It's very helpful for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or have extensive loose skin in their upper, lower abdomen, and sides (flanks).
First – Lipo360, or Liposuction, also known as “circumferential liposuction,” is a surgical procedure that removes unwanted, stubborn fat from your abdomen, love handles, and back.
Second – while combining Lipo360 with a traditional tummy tuck procedure that involves removing skin and excess fat from below the belly button and re-tightening abdominal muscles.
Both procedures, the tummy tuck and liposuction are two of the most popular and requested body contouring plastic surgeries in America today. While they both can do wonders, addressing only a single area may not provide the degree of body sculpting most patients are looking for. The traditional tummy tuck procedure will tighten and correct your abdomen; however, unfortunately, it does little to nothing to change the appearance of your love handles or lower back. With a Tummy Tuck 360, you can look spectacular from the back as well as from your front. This revolutionary combination can help you look fabulous from every angle.
Tummy Tuck 360 combines circumferential liposuction of the trunk (back, love handles/flanks, and abdomen) with the traditional tummy tuck to create a truly dramatic re-contouring and restoration of your entire mid-section.
Traditional Liposuction can eliminate fat almost anywhere on the body. However, sometimes fat removal may be the focus of other pockets of fat. In the past, in some patients, if excess fat from the front of the abdomen was removed, but fat still remained on your back, sides and bra roll, combined with loose skin what options did a patient have?
So, instead of only relying on liposuction to remove fat from a single area, LIPO 360 will give fantastic results by treating the entire midsection and back. This includes liposuction of the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, mons, waist, flanks, back and bra rolls. Body contouring all the areas of extra fat and smooth out the body from all directions. The treatment improves multiple areas at one time, creating a curvier, more contoured figure that looks great from every angle.
Combining LIPO 360 with a tummy tuck creates a balanced, proportional figure all the way around.
An “Abdominoplasty” or a tummy tuck procedure removes excess skin and fat deposits from below your belly button and re-tightens the abdominal muscles. Adding LIPO 360, also known as “circumferential liposuction,” involves more comprehensive sculpting techniques. 360-degree liposculpture combines the fat removal from the entire midsection of the abdomen, waistline, love handles and back to achieve a curvier, more hourglass contoured figure. The revolutionary Tummy Tuck 360 combines the standard abdominoplasty procedure with LIPO 360 to remove excess fat from your love handles, flanks, and back fat as well as the upper and lower abdomen.
This latest procedure is a great option for those patients looking to restore their pre-baby bodies, and finding that the traditional tummy tuck was only doing half the job. If these patients really desired to get their “before baby body” back, changes needed to be made on their entire mid-section, both in the front and back. The Tummy Tuck 360 addresses many of the issues many women have with their bodies after pregnancy to include bra rolls, back fat, stomach pooch, muffin tops, excess skin, etc. After receiving this procedure, some patients' waistlines look even better after their procedure than they did before pregnancy.
This procedure permanently removes fat cells, changing the shape of your body, and significantly improving your core appearance.
Tummy Tuck 360 can give you a more custom and individualized option for your body sculpting procedure.
