A full abdominoplasty is performed on the entire abdomen area including both the upper and lower abdomen. We make sure the incision scar is at the bikini line so that the patients who have full abdominoplasty can hide the scar easily under the underwear. Full abdominoplasty surgery starts with the incision on the bikini line and the skin is lifted to the chest area to perform stretching to the looser muscles. No matter how much the skin is stretched, muscle repair, muscle tightening by dissolvable stitches should be performed during full abdominoplasty for the best results. Depending on the location of the stretching, the muscle tissue is sutured from the upper abdomen to the incision line or from the belly button to the incision line.
There are two scars after full abdominoplasty surgery:
Around the belly button because it is replaced compatible with the new the shape of the abdomen area,
The second is at the bikini line which is easy to hide under the underwear.
Mini abdominoplasty is performed for people who have slight sagging. Mini abdominoplasty is called when the surgery is performed below the belly button. During both mini-abdominoplasty and full abdominoplasty, liposuction is performed.
The full tummy tuck is performed on people who have severe sagging.
Intervention is also performed on the navel and the surgical incisions can be longer than the incisions made in the mini tummy tuck.
