In that respect are 2 types of tummy tuck surgeries: a complete tummy tuck which normally can take upwards to five hours of surgery, and a partial tummy tuck which involves a shorter prick and may take entirely a couple of hours of surgery.
Tummy Tuck Types:
- Endoscopic Abdominoplasty
- Mini-Tummy Tuck
- Partial or Modified Abdominoplasty
- Dermolipectomy
- Full Abdominoplasty
- Reverse Abdominoplasty
- Vertical Scar Abdominoplasty
Endoscopic Abdominoplasty
An endoscopic tummy tuck is performed with the help of small camera, called an endoscope, which is attached to the surgical instruments. The procedure is performed with the use of these instruments through a small incision, typically suprapubic incision or in the bellybutton. The muscles are tightened and sutured though this incision nicely the help of the endoscope guiding the operating surgeon's eye.
Mini-Tummy Tuck
The mini tummy tuck is somewhere between the endoscopic and dermolipectomy. Tightening of the muscles can be performed with the mini-tummy tuck incision but if this is done it is usually not considered a mini.
Dermolipectomy
The dermolipectomy procedure is the removal of redundant shinny and excess rounded but requires repositioning of a new belly button. The process of incision placement, fat removal and skin excision is the same but there is no muscle tightening.
Full Abdominoplasty
This tummy tuck type is the most invasive. Inward the full abdominoplasty a new navel will be made as the master unity will more than likely be pulled down and that section of the abdominal flap excised. Some patients will need a vertical incision at the navel area in cases which require more than moderate, as yet less than considerable laxness around the umbilicus.
Reverse Abdominoplasty
With this proedure, the incision is made along the mammary plication in an inverted V fashion and pulled up as if you had waders on and sutured.
