Are There Benefits To Combining Your Liposuction And Tummy Tuck Procedures?

Liposuction Procedure
Many individuals carry excess weight around the abdomen, which has prompted a dramatic increase in the number of abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, procedures performed each year. Although each abdominoplasty patient has similar goals, their needs are unique, which is why a tummy tuck should not be considered a one-size-fits-all procedure. Instead, at Body by Craft, we completely customize your tummy tuck in Miami to suit your individual needs, assessing your anatomy, the presence of excess skin, and taking your lifestyle into account in an effort to determine whether a full tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, fleur-de-lis tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or hybrid tummy tuck is best for you.
Full Tummy Tuck
Extended Tummy Tuck
Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck
Like a full tummy tuck, this technique makes a horizontal incision from hip to hip; however, it also necessitates making a second vertical incision, which can be more difficult to conceal. Although its more invasive nature makes it less desirable for some patients, it is a suitable technique for individuals who require considerable correction of lax skin all around the midsection and who are willing to accept the risk of additional scarring for the sake of dramatic contouring results. This type of surgery is reserved for patients who have lost greater than 100 pounds and have excessive skin laxity around the abdomen.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive technique which is best suited to patients who have little to no excess skin above the navel, as it only addresses the lower abdomen, making a 4-8 inch incision above the pubic region and leaving the navel untouched. While this makes it an advantageous option for many patients, it is not an appropriate option for people who have stubborn fat or loose skin in the upper abdomen.
Hybrid Tummy Tuck
A hybrid tummy tuck is an amalgamation between the traditional, full tummy tuck and the mini tummy tuck, as it works to tighten the entire abdominal fascia, while making a smaller incision similar to that made during a C-section. This technique is best suited to people who are physically fit but struggle to eliminate the stomach bulge that lingers following pregnancy because it effectively tightens the abdominal muscles all the way from sternum to pubic bone. An existing c-section scar can usually be removed, and a desirable, low horizontal scar created. The umbilicus is not reconstructed through this method; however, it may be lowered just slightly.
At Body by Craft, we understand that the decision to undergo a tummy tuck is very personal and the number of options available can make it overwhelming, which is why we take the time to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient.
