This procedure is more extensive than a normal
tummy
tuck since the the surgeon creates an incision that spans the
entire circumference of the patient’s torso. It is typically
reserved for patients who have lost a large amount of weight, many
times following a weight loss surgery, and now have loose, overhanging
skin around their body. A circumferential tummy tuck can be combined
with other cosmetic procedures like an arm lift, body contouring,
umbilicoplasty, and others. During this procedure the surgeon will
make an incision that extends around the waist line to remove excess
skin and fat and then tighten the muscles. Techniques are used to
contour the patient’s body from the ribs to the knee area,
lift the outer thighs and buttocks, and create a new navel if necessary.
The circumferential abdominoplasty surgery takes anywhere from three
and six hours to complete and requires a longer recovery time than
other
tummy tuck types. Patients who of
this tummy tuck will need to stay in the hospital for two to four
nights following the surgery.
