Undergoing an extended kind of abdominoplasty is actually pretty much the same with a regular tummy tuck procedure. The only difference involved might be the involvement of an additional lateral thigh lift.
The scar created from an extended abdominoplasty runs from the posterior part of your axillary line. The procedure is the same in the sense that your abdomen will also be contoured. The bonus is the improvement of your waist part, or your flanks, as the contours of your upper lateral thigh are also smoothened down.
A high lateral tension tummy tuck, on the other hand, involves the implementation of today’s advanced surgical cosmetic techniques. It is because of the use of this advanced technology that this particular tummy tuck takes more than 4 and half hours to successfully perform.
In addition to having your muscles tightened in a vertical pattern, your other muscles are also tightened horizontally. As a result, you are provided with an abdominal area that is dramatically flat with a highly noticeable waistline as it has been defined more.
Another kind of tummy tuck, the circumferential abdominoplasty involves an additional lift to your buttocks. The scar will be running all the way around your body. This is also medically referred to as a body lift, or a belt lipectomy. This is kind of operation is usually recommended for those who have previously undergone such a dramatic loss in weight.
You can also opt to combine all of these cosmetic procedures. A tummy tuck is actually a component of a lift applied to your lower body part and can be applied with contouring via liposuction, a noticeable lift to your breasts, a reduction to the present size of your breasts, and sometimes even hysterectomy.
