Have you ever wondered why countless crunches and healthy eating have not resulted in the flat stomach you deserve? You’re not alone. Many women and men – particularly after significant weight loss or pregnancies – have stubborn fat, loose, lax skin, belt lipectomy, lower body lift, and a protruding abdomen that does not respond to diet and exercise. Our surgeons have years of experience and training in body contouring procedures. We perform abdominoplasty/tummy tuck in Salt Lake City area to help people improve their physical appearance and emotional well-being.
This procedure uses an incision that runs beneath the underwear line from hip to hip. This is the most common approach, as it gives us plenty of access to both tighten excess skin and repair stretched abdominal muscles.
This treatment requires general anesthesia. Although a full tummy tuck typically requires an incision from hip to hip above the pubic area, 22 Plastic Surgery takes pride in ensuring that the resulting scar is as minimal, small, and hidden as possible. Tummy tucks often also involve repositioning the navel to a new location. 22 Plastic Surgery works diligently to make this scar as inconspicuous as possible.
This version of abdominoplasty uses a shorter incision than the traditional approach. It usually does not involve the belly button. In this method, excess fat is removed with extra skin. Moreover, we will tie the muscles together to give you a flat stomach.
One of the most spotted differences between a traditional and mini tummy tuck is that the mini tummy tuck aims only at the lower abdominal area. In contrast, the full tummy tuck targets a greater extent.
This technique is suitable for patients who have a lot of loose skin not only on the abdomen but also on the hips and arms. Ideal candidates for an extended tummy tuck are people who have lost a lot of weight and have excess skin and people who want to slim down their abdomen and arms. In this tummy tucks surgery, the incision extends from the hips to the lower back. The skin is removed, the abdominal muscles are repaired, and the navel is repositioned.
This approach uses a 360-degree incision to shape the entire torso after significant weight loss. It is ideal for patients who have lost significant weight and have excess skin around the entire lower torso, including the abdomen, back, hips, and buttocks, and who wish to reshape the entire torso around 360 degrees. The procedure typically begins with the patient lying on their stomach and is completed with the patient lying on their back.
