What are the areas a Tummy Tuck will deal with?
• Loose or wrinkly skin, stretch marks. This can be a result of ageing, pregnancy, or marked weight loss; • Fat tissue, most of the time seen in the lower abdomen; • Muscle separation, which can occur by itself, or as a result of pregnancy. Sit-ups or crunches don’t help in this situation as once the muscles relax, they separate and the tummy bulges out; and • Liposuction alone can take care of excess fat tissue, but loose skin and stretch marks must be addressed by one of three techniques: dermatolipectomy (a procedure that takes out skin and fat but does not tighten the abdominal muscles), mini-tummy tuck, or full tummy tuck. 5) What is the difference between Mini-Tuck and a Classical, or Full Tuck? In a Mini-Tuck, an incision is made along the upper margin of the pubic hair; it is performed through your c-section scar and only a small strip of skin (hypodermis) or no skin is removed but the abdominal wall muscles are tightened. The muscle tightening is not included in this operation
