Tummy Tuck Surgery Options: Mini to Extended Tummy Tucks

When it comes to tummy tuck surgery, you have options. A tummy tuck surgery is a versatile procedure that can be tailored to meet your cosmetic goals. A traditional tummy tuck procedure involves a horizontal incision made along the lower abdomen, as well as another incision around the navel.

A traditional tummy tuck procedure can be modified for individuals with minimal amounts of excess fat and skin. Often referred to as a mini tummy tuck, this procedure only requires a minimal incision just above the pubic hairline to target the lower abdomen.

Additionally, a traditional tummy tuck can be modified to target a larger amount of excess skin and fat around the flanks, hips and lower back region. This procedure is referred to as an extended tummy tuck. Incisions span the entire length of the abdomen and extend to the back of the hips.

What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck in Torrance, CA

The consultation: In order to determine if you are good candidate for tummy tuck surgery, you will need to be honest and upfront about every aspect of your health. Your consultation will include a physical examination, as well as a discussion of your medical history and cosmetic goals. This information will help plastic surgeon Dr. Khattab determine if tummy tuck surgery is the right choice for you.

Surgery: Tummy tuck surgery takes 2-4 hours to complete and typically requires general anesthesia. Once you are comfortable, Dr. Khattab will make the proper incisions. Through these incisions he will remove excess tissue and tighten the underlying abdomen muscles to produce a firmer, flatter abdomen. Sometimes liposuction is employed to remove excess fat. Your skin will then be tightly re-draped to your newly contoured abdominal wall. Incisions will be secured with sutures.

Recovery: Ensuring that you have a safe and comfortable recovery is one of Dr. Khattab’s primary goals. Your midsection will feel tender and sore for the first several days. Bruising and swelling will be present for several weeks. Dr. Khattab will provide you will pain medication, as well as a compression garment to manage discomfort. Most patients require 1-2 weeks of rest. More strenuous activities should be avoided for at least a month

Results: Your final results may not be apparent for several weeks. Your abdomen will need  time to heal and adjust from surgery. Following a full recovery, you can anticipate a firmer, flatter tummy. The final results will be more or less permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight. It is important to note that there will be permanent scarring. The length of your incisions will depend on the extent of your tummy tuck.
