A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a popular surgical procedure designed to create a firmer, more contoured abdomen by removing excess skin and fat. While tummy tucks are well-known among post-pregnancy and weight loss patients, they’re also suitable for men and women who want to achieve a smoother, sculpted midsection. At Miami Life Plastic Surgery, our team of experienced surgeons offers various types of tummy tucks tailored to individual patient needs, ensuring each patient receives the best possible outcome for their body goals.
Types of Tummy Tucks at Miami Life Plastic Surgery
Each tummy tuck procedure is unique, and we offer a wide range of options to cater to different needs:
- Drainless Tummy Tuck
Specialty of Dr. Chavez: This procedure eliminates the need for post-surgical drains by using advanced suturing techniques to reduce fluid buildup, offering a faster and more comfortable recovery.
- Mini Tummy Tuck
Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck is a less invasive option that doesn’t involve muscle repair. The scar is discreet, about the size of a C-section incision. - Standard Tummy Tuck
Our regular tummy tuck includes liposuction of the waist and flanks, helping to sculpt and define the torso. This option tightens abdominal muscles, perfect for those seeking a more contoured look. - Extended Tummy Tuck
For patients with excess skin extending to the sides, the extended tummy tuck removes more tissue around the waist and hips, enhancing the body’s overall silhouette.
- Super Extended Tummy Tuck
A step up from the extended tummy tuck, this procedure addresses “dog ears” (small folds of skin at the incision ends) and provides a comprehensive contour for patients with significant skin laxity. - Belt Lipectomy (360 Tummy Tuck or Lower Body Lift)
Ideal for patients with a substantial amount of excess skin, this 360-degree approach targets the abdomen, hips, and lower back to deliver a balanced, complete result.
- Fleur de Lis (FDL) Tummy Tuck
Often recommended for patients after massive weight loss, the FDL tummy tuck removes skin both vertically and horizontally, tightening the abdomen from all directions.
- FDL + Belt Lipectomy
Combining the FDL and Belt Lipectomy, this comprehensive approach offers the most transformative results for patients with substantial skin laxity after significant weight loss.
