Can You Get By With A Partial Tummy Tuck?
Filed Under Dallas Tummy Tuck |
A partial tummy tuck is for the person who has a little excess skin and lower abdominal. This mini procedure will not be effective for larger people. The final decision would be between you and your chosen plastic surgeon. You must trust your surgeon and go with what he/she says.
Full Vs Partial Tummy Tuck
There are several differences between a complete (full) abdominoplasty and a mini (partial) tummy tuck. The main difference is the size of the incision, length of surger and recovery.
The full version goes hip to hip, as well as around the belly button. This incision is needed due to the large amount of skin and fat that is removed. The surgery can be several hours longer, therefore making the recovery a little tougher than a partial procedure.
The other procedure is the partial tuck that treats areas under the belly button. This is the less invasive form of abdominoplasty. The majority of the time it is outpatient surgery and only local anesthesia is needed.
The result can be very good, or you may find you might also want a little liposuction to get the ultimate result. The risks are less, the scars are smaller and the surgery can be performed in 1-2 hours max.
