Your Tummy Tuck Options

Rowley Plastic surgery has the options patients are looking for when they are interested in a tummy tuck. Dr. Jane Rowley will tell you upfront how a procedure will benefit you, how it is performed, and what to expect with your recovery. When it comes to a tummy tuck, the option you choose is based on the amount of skin you need to have removed. Most people think of the standard tummy tuck when considering this procedure. But, you have a smaller or greater version of that standard surgery that you can choose.

●     Mini Tummy Tuck— When a patient has a more slender body type but has that stubborn pooch of saggy skin in his or her abdominal area that doesn’t respond to exercise or diet. This option has a smaller incision and doesn’t remove as much skin as your other tummy tuck choices.

●     Standard Tummy Tuck— The more common tummy tuck, this procedure has a straight incision that runs from hip to hip. While a tummy tuck is not a weight loss surgery, patients can have liposuction during their operation to add more contouring to their tummy area.

●     Extended Tummy Tuck— If saggy skin seems to be everywhere, patients can have an extended tuck that involves removing excess skin around hips and back areas. This procedure can also be paired with liposuction for a flatter looking body. The incision will reach as far as the need area to excise the desired amount of skin.

The more extensive a procedure is, the longer a patient should expect the recovery time to be. A tummy tuck will get rid of that extra skin that just won’t go away no matter what efforts you make to exercise. It also has the added benefit of giving you tighter stomach muscles. Dr. Jane Rowley wants her patients to have the information they need to make wise surgical choices. She will spend the necessary time talking to her patients so that they are prepared and satisfied with their plastic surgery results.
