This surgery is normally intended for obese patients
that have a lot of excess fat and overhanging skin that extends
to the back. An extended tummy tuck procedure allows for the removal
of the skin and tightens the remaining skin and tissue, resulting
in a toned body. In order to leave a nice contour, the scar needs
to be extended beyond the hip area and extend more towards the back.
The muscles are tightened and a new belly button is created. Liposuction
may be performed at the same time to create a better looking contour
for the patient.
