Mini Tummy Tuck Before and After
A mini tummy tuck removes a small amount of extra skin or fat under your bellybutton. It’s best for patients needing minimal repair who want to firm their lower abdomen only. Patients with excessive sagging skin and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) require a more comprehensive surgical approach.
Full Tummy Tuck Before and After
Most patients with lax skin and weakened abdominal muscles opt for a full (traditional) tummy tuck. This approach tightens and reshapes the entire abdomen, repairing diastasis recti and naturally reshaping the skin around the bellybutton.
Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck Before and After
After significant weight loss, many patients want to address substantial amounts of loose skin. In these cases, we often perform the fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, which extends the full tummy tuck with a vertical incision that runs from the pubic area to the the chest. This technique tightens the hips and waistline and achieves dramatic results for patients eager to achieve a sleeker, more contoured look.
Male Tummy Tuck Before and After
Women and men alike can benefit from a tummy tuck to flatten the abdomen, slim the waistline, and enhance self-esteem. Most active people with a clean bill of health can benefit from tummy tuck surgery. The best candidates—male or female—are at a stable weight and have realistic expectations about their potential results.
Understanding Tummy Tuck Before and After Results
As you peruse male and female tummy tuck before and after photos, we suggest keeping the following considerations in mind:
- Final tummy tuck results take at least 3 months. Remember this when viewing “after” photos.
- Every patient—and therefore every tummy tuck—is unique. While galleries help you picture what’s possible, every surgery is customized by our board-certified plastic surgeons to address your unique needs and goals.
- A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss surgery. Tummy tuck myths abound. While the procedure removes excess skin and fat, it’s not intended for weight loss. You need to be at a stable, healthy weight to be considered a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery.
