Difference Between Tummy Tuck And Extended Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck:
Also known as abdominoplasty, this body contouring procedure removes excess skin only from your abdominal region to give it a firmer and flatter look. It has further two types, i.e.,
Full Tummy Tuck:
This type of abdominoplasty, also called a standard tummy tuck or a traditional tummy tuck targets both the upper and lower areas of your tummy to remove excess skin and give your stomach a firmer, flatter look.
Mini Tummy Tuck:
A mini tummy tuck addresses the lower abdominal region where some people have stubborn fat.
Extended Tummy Tuck:
The main purpose of an extended tummy tuck is to refine and shape your body and not remove significant fat deposits. This more-invasive procedure targets;
- The upper and lower abdomen
- Waist
- Flanks/love handles
- And sometimes, your thigh’s uppermost lateral area
Extended Tummy Tuck Cost:
Since extended abdominoplasty addresses extended body parts, this procedure costs more than the standard tummy tuck.
Duration And Recovery:
As its name suggests, the extended tummy tuck is an extended plastic surgery procedure than a tummy tuck, that’s why it takes more time to complete. Also, the recovery period following an extended abdominoplasty may be longer.
Which One Should You Choose?
You can seek a tummy tuck surgery if;
- You’ve gone through multiple pregnancies and experienced postpartum weight loss. Have stretch marks
- Have excess abdominal skin fat
In addition to addressing all these problems, an extended tummy tuck also treats loose skin hanging down your belly, waistline, and lateral thighs
How Long Does An Extended Tummy Tuck Take?
- Your health
- The size of the area underwent surgery
Post-Surgery Expectations:
Initially, you can experience;
- Bruising
- Swelling
- Scarring
However, all such issues will fade away over time.
It will take you nearly 6 to 8 weeks to completely recover post-surgery. However, you can resume light activities that do not include weight lifting after 2-4 weeks of your surgery.
