Types of Abdominoplasty
Most people are aware of what a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty can mean, however, it is necessary to analyze with the surgeon the results you want with this cosmetic surgery. Although each body represents a unique procedure, there are technical variations that the surgeon uses to obtain the aesthetic results. Below is a brief description of each type of abdominoplasty:
- Aesthetic Surgery of Traditional Abdomen: An incision is made in the pubic area of the patient hidden inside the underwear, this procedure includes the displacement of the navel to guarantee a more natural appearance, the scar of the tummy tuck depends on the amount of skin that There is a patient wing at the abdominal level. This cosmetic surgery is combined in many opportunities with a liposuction.
- Mini Abdomen Aesthetic Surgery or Partial Abdominoplasties: This tummy tuck is generally applied for those who have a little more than their ideal weight but prefer to make small changes in the lower abdomen. It is a type of cosmetic surgery great changes are generated with shorter scars and do not require the relocation of the navel.

- Aesthetic Endoscopic Abdomen Surgery: It is the ideal type of surgery for people who have weakened abdominal muscles, without obvious fat or skin in the abdominal area. This procedure is performed through a camera connected to a tube called an endoscope, in this sense, the incision made by the surgeon is of a sufficient length to insert the endoscope and surgical tools. Endoscopic abdomen cosmetic surgery applies to men and women who suffer from diastasis of the rectus muscle.
- Aesthetic Surgeries of Abdomen Extended: It is a surgery especially to eliminate fat and excess skin in the abdominal area as well as “thick or rolled” around the waist. It is a low incision that allows the surgeon to extend it behind the hips if necessary. A frequent question about this type of cosmetic surgery refers to the visibility of the scar. It will definitely not be exposed or visible, even if the patient wears low-shooting clothing.
- Circumferential Abdomen Aesthetic Surgeries: It is performed especially in patients who have undergone a gastric bypass, is a type of body lift. Thanks to the significant loss of weight, the skin loses elasticity and despite being a cosmetic surgery, the health of the patient is taken into account regarding the formation of fungi in the folds of the skin.
Cosmetic surgery of the circumferential abdomen can extend to the hips, buttocks and thighs since it is necessary to remove excess skin in these areas.
