What is the difference between Complete Abdominoplasty, Extended Abdominoplasty, Partial Abdominoplasty and Mini or Modified Abdominoplasty ?
In Complete Abdominoplasty or Standard Abdominoplasty all the abdominal wall skin and muscles are tightened. In Extended Abdominoplasty all the muscles and skin of the abdomen and the flanks or sides is tightened. In Partial Abdominoplasty also referred to as Mini Abdominoplasty (tightens the lower abdominal wall skin only) or Modified Abdominoplasty (just the muscle wall or just the abdominal skin requires repair) is a much shorter procedure and has a short scar.
