What abdominoplasty addresses
- Excess, stretched abdominal skin
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Loose skin following pregnancy or major weight loss
- Lower abdominal scarring, where excised during the procedure
Full vs mini tummy tuck
A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen, including muscle repair above and below the navel, while a mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen for patients with more limited concerns. Your surgeon will recommend the appropriate approach based on your anatomy.
Combining with liposuction
Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction of the flanks or upper abdomen for more complete body contouring in a single surgical plan.
What to expect
Recovery involves several weeks of restricted activity, with a compression garment worn to support healing. Final results settle over several months as swelling resolves and scars mature.
