If you\u2019re considering a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty<\/a> , Pittsburghplastic surgeons want you to know you\u2019ve got a lot to think about. Not all tummy tucks are created equal! With a little information, you\u2019ll be ready to decide if an abdominoplasty is right for you, and if so, which type.<\/span><\/p>\n

The full tummy tuck is an extensive procedure that not only sculpts the midsection, but also tightens the underlying muscles by stitching them together into a more taut position. Sometimes liposuction is used and other times, the removal of excess skin does the trick. Women who have had children are good candidates for this version since the muscles of the abdomen have been stretched and sometimes will not become firm again without surgical intervention.<\/p>\n

A mini version of the abdominoplasty<\/a>, Pittsburgh specialists can tell you, focuses more on the lower portion of the waistline, as opposed to the sides and area above the naval. The incision is shorter and involves just removing the lax skin from below the naval, with possibly a little liposuction. The main difference, however, is that this version doesn\u2019t include the muscle tightening. Good candidates for the mini tummy tuck are those who have firm abs underneath, but just can\u2019t seem to lose those last few pounds and that stubborn little bulge at the waistline.<\/p>\n

Lastly, sometimes patients who see a plastic surgeon for an abdominoplasty<\/a> in Pittsburgh end up not needing one at all. These patients can achieve their desired result with liposuction alone.<\/p>\n

The important thing to keep in mind is that an abdominoplasty isn\u2019t an alternative to diet and exercise. It\u2019s reserved for patients who have failed to achieve the results they want through eating right and doing regular targeted ab work.<\/p>\n
