In general, abdominoplasty is often the right procedure if your primary goal is to tighten loose abdominal muscles and remove excess skin in order to improve the appearance of your abdominal region. If your primary concern is the removal of belly fat, and you have good skin tone, then liposuction may potentially be a better option for you.

During pregnancy, it is common for your abdominal muscles to become separated, making it impossible to recapture the toned, flat abdomen you had prior to having children. A tummy tuck can tighten these muscles and remove excess skin and fat in order to put the finishing touches on your post pregnancy fitness efforts.

Mini Tummy Tuck If your area of concern is primarily below the belly button, . This procedure removes excess skin and fat and tightens loose abdominal muscles similar to a full tummy tuck, but it only addresses the lower abdominal region. A mini tummy tuck is the least invasive abdominoplasty option, and it’s ideal for patients who only need: Minor muscle tightening in the lower abdominal region A minimal amount of excess skin removed

Because a mini tummy tuck is somewhat less involved than a traditional tummy tuck, it offers the following potential benefits: Shorter recovery time Less scarring Less discomfort Typically eliminates a scar around the belly button

if you have one or more of the following issues: Loose, sagging skin and excess fat beneath the chin and neck, jowls, drooping cheeks, banding in the neck you are a good candidate for SMAS face lift. This technique is usually done at the time of the skin tightening and provides a tightening of the soft tissues beneath the skin of the face such as the muscle cover called the SMAS and the platysma muscle which extends from the neck onto the face. This usually helps to re-elevate fat that has descended over time, creating a more aged appearance.
