It is important to be aware that there are two operations, not one.
Abdominoplasty in “Fleur de lis” or “Anchor”
This is for people who have scars on the abdomen from vertical C-sections, or who have had bariatric surgery. What the surgeon does is remove “the abdominal apron with an inverted T resection.”
Secondary tummy tuck
Basically and simply, it is for those patients who have had a previous abdominoplasty, but with unsatisfactory results.
Mini – tummy tuck
Mini? It is called a mini tummy tuck that surgery that is for very thin people, who do not have separation of the abdominal muscles but have excess skin.
“It’s quite exceptional surgery for very few patients.”
Classic tummy tuck
Without liposuction, the abdominal apron is removed. You can count, if required, with procedures to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.
