There are many surgical and non-invasive options being advertised for body shaping, body contouring, and skin tightening these days, so it is important to do your homework and understand what the best option is for you as an individual.  The best place to start is an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. At Restore SD Plastic Surgery, we utilize the Vectra 3D imaging system to demonstrate simulated results on your own body and help you decide on the best course of action. Knowing your options and how the popular non-invasive treatments really work is extremely important.  For example, the results of Coolsculpting take months to become apparent and require multiple expensive treatments to be effective.
If you decide that surgery is for you, it is important to know that tummy tuck has a few variations.  Your surgeon will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is best suited to your body type, goals, and timeline.  The tummy tuck options include:
Standard tummy tuck
Extended tummy tuck
Mini tummy tuck
