Yes. There are different types of abdominoplasty procedures for different patient’s needs. All of the procedures involve the removal of excess skin and the tightening of abdominal muscles. A traditional tummy tuck addresses imperfections in the entire abdominal area both above and below the navel.nnIf a mini-tummy tuck is performed, the surgeon only works on improving the area underneath the navel. An extended tummy tuck will improve the appearance of love handles on either side of the hips, in addition to the abdominal area. A circumferential abdominoplasty is usually performed when a massive amount of weight loss has taken place, leaving an apron of loose skin around the entire body. This procedure may also be referred to as a lower body lift.nnAdditionally, some patients elect to undergo additional procedures, such as liposuction or breast augmentation, at the same time as their tummy tuck procedure.
