Before contemplating a tummy lift, patients should be aware of what to expect. With their surgeon, the patient should discuss their aesthetic goals. This will ensure the patient gets the results she desires. Patients should expect to be out of the hospital for a while after surgery.
Mini-tummy tuck
Mini-tummy tucks offer a cheaper alternative to full abdominoplasty. The national average cost of a mini-tummy tuck ranges between $4,000 and $5,000. Full abdominoplasty, on the other hand, is $9,000. Prices vary depending upon what procedure you choose and how skilled your surgeon is.
This involves removing fat and excess skin from the lower abdomen. The surgeon will tighten the muscles and stretch any remaining skin down. After the surgery, the incision will be closed with stitches. After a small tummy surgery, the result will be visible immediately. It will improve for a few more months.

A full tummy lift removes excess skin and creates a contoured abdomen. This surgery can also be used in reshaping the abdominal muscles that have become separated due to pregnancy, weight loss, or other factors.
Extended tummy tuck
An extended stomach tuck is a form of plastic surgery that focuses on the entire abdomen. This allows for a more natural appearance and helps to reduce excess fat. The procedure involves a lengthy incision that runs along the hips and wraps around the navel. The surgeon will use liposuction (liposuction) to remove excess fat. This procedure involves the repositioning of the belly button.
While longer tummy surgeries are more costly than traditional tummy surgery, the results can be well-worth it. You can hide the scars under your clothes as they are less visible. The recovery period takes approximately two weeks depending on how extensive the surgery was. The procedure will require a time release anesthetic, which can last for several days. To avoid straining the abdomen, patients should not engage in strenuous activities during the initial period after the procedure.
Downtime after tummy tuck
A tummy lift can transform your midsection, as well as your self-confidence. The procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat in order to reshape your midsection. This will give you an hourglass figure. Many people also use this procedure after massive weight loss or pregnancy.
Abdominoplasty recovery times vary depending on how extensive the procedure was and how the body responds to it. Most people experience swelling around the incision. A few days to two weeks of downtime should be expected after surgery. The cosmetic surgeon will advise patients when they can resume strenuous activities.

Tummy tuck is a procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen and reshapes the abdominal muscles. You can choose to have the surgery under general anesthesia, or intravenous. Horizontal incisions are made between the belly button and the pubic hairline. The amount of skin that needs to be removed determines the length of incision. After the muscle repairs are complete, the excess skin will be pulled back into place. Afterward, the incision will be closed with sutures. The abdominal area will look flatter and firmer following surgery.
