Total Tummy tuck

Some people experience a potbelly as a hindrance, psychologically as well as physically. The skin elasticity and proper abdominal muscles are sometimes irreparably affected. Depending upon the diagnosis, a mini tummy tuck or a total tummy tuck may be considered.

People who are contending with an accumulation of fat, and those suffering with poor skin elasticity and/or over-stretched abdominal muscles can opt for a total tummy tuck.
In this type of tummy tuck, an incision is made under the bikini line. The abdominal skin is loosened from the abdominal wall to the rib cage and the excess fatty tissue is removed. The abdominal muscles are stretched under the belly button and are then bounded together again. Even the navel is released, moved and fixed at a natural height.

A total tummy tuck takes one and a half to two hours and takes place under general anesthetics. This type of abdominal correction may also be combined with liposculpture in the abdominal area.
