Risks Of A Tummy Tuck
Every surgery comes with some risks, even ones that are considered safe and effective. An abdominoplasty has certain risks, including:
- Infection
- Scarring
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Skin necrosis
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
It’s best to work with an experienced cosmetic surgeon to avoid the risks of a tummy tuck. When you look for the right provider, don’t be afraid to ask questions and take your time to make your decision.
Which Type Of Tummy Tuck Is Right For Me?
Dr. Sessa will help you find the right tummy tuck procedure that suits your body type, amount of excess skin, and overall goals. However, knowing the types of abdominoplasty offered can help you feel prepared before your consultation. Let’s go over some of the benefits and purposes of the different tummy tucks so you can have all of the information you need.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck in Miami is the least in-depth type of abdominoplasty and has the smallest amount of recovery involved. It’s best for patients who only have a minor amount of skin and fat in their lower abdomen and want to tone the lower portion of their stomach.
Traditional Tummy Tuck
A traditional tummy tuck is the most popular, as it eliminates more skin and fat from the abdomen and around the hips. It does have a longer recovery time but is ideal for those who need more sculpting around their stomach. It can also get rid of stretch marks and a cesarian scar.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck in Miami is typically used on patients who have achieved significant weight loss but struggle with excess skin afterward or are looking to regain their shape after childbirth. The extended tummy tuck reaches the stomach, lower back, and hip region to highlight your shape and create a more flattering figure. It can also remove a cesarian scar, get rid of stretch marks, and create restorative change in your physique.
Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck – H3
A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is the most intensive surgery available. Named for the location and shape of the scars, a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck has incisions that extend across the lower abdomen and all the way up the middle of the stomach. It’s used for significant weight loss transformations that require in-depth skin removal across the entire abdomen as well as a new shape.
