Many individuals have heard of the tummy tuck procedure, a plastic surgery done to eliminate excess fat and skin from the abdomen, as well as tighten weakened abdominal muscles.  However, not many are aware that there are different tummy tuck procedure options to choose from. Read on to learn about these tummy tuck options in Brandon and what each one can do for you.

Mini Tummy Tuck

The mini tummy tuck can help those who are already slender, but have a stubborn lower belly pooch. This procedure is less invasive than a traditional tummy tuck procedure, as it only addresses the abdominal area below the belly button. A small incision is created, and excess fat and skin are eliminated for a flatter tummy profile.

Extended Tummy Tuck

The extended tummy tuck can often benefit those who have experienced massive weight loss, and can eliminate uncomfortable sagging skin. Because the incision reaches around the hips, more skin and fat are removed, and weakened abdominal muscles are tightened. A round incision around the navel is also needed to reposition it once excess skin has been removed.

Each tummy tuck procedure can help to improve patients’ lives, helping them to feel more confident with their bodies and also fit into clothing better. If you are ready to learn more about the tummy tuck procedure, schedule your consultation with Dr. Shienbaum today!
