Why Extended abdominoplasty?
At Elysian Plastic Surgery, extended abdominoplasty—or extended tummy tuck—is an advanced body contouring procedure designed for patients who have excess skin and tissue not only on the abdomen but also along the flanks and lateral waistline. This approach is ideal for individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, pregnancy, or other body changes resulting in stretched, redundant skin beyond what a standard tummy tuck can correct.
The extended tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, hips, and sides, while also tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles to restore a firm, contoured core. The incision is longer than a traditional tummy tuck and typically extends around the hips, allowing for reshaping of the waistline and lateral trunk for a smoother, more proportionate result. In many cases, liposuction is combined to further sculpt the torso and enhance overall definition.
This procedure is particularly beneficial for post-weight-loss patients or those with significant skin laxity in the midsection and hip area.
