There are different types of abdominoplasty techniques utilized by Dr. Martin, and the specific method is based on your individual needs. During your consultation, they will work closely with you to determine the best option for your unique concerns. Complete Abdominoplasty A traditional abdominoplasty, or full tummy tuck, is the most common type of abdominoplasty. It can often be paired with liposuction for optimal results. This method is best suited for patients concerned about loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles above and below their navel. Mini Abdominoplasty The incision during the mini tummy tuck technique is usually smaller and rests along the bikini line. This technique is ideal for patients with a small area of loose skin or stubborn fat below the belly button but otherwise happy with their upper abdomen.
