The ideal candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck is someone who only wants to target loose skin below the belly button.
Standard: A Standard Tummy Tuck utilizes a larger, hip-to-hip incision. It is the most common type of Tummy Tuck and, when performed, will allow Dr. Jiles to access skin, fat, and muscles associated with the area for the best results.
The ideal candidate for a Standard Tummy Tuck is someone seeking to repair diastasis recti, or muscle separation, that occurs from childbirth. This type of Tummy Tuck can also help with stretch marks and additional skin.
Extended: An extended Tummy Tuck is similar to a Standard Tummy Tuck; however, the incisions can be longer. An Extended Tummy Tuck is also known as a lower body lift, with incisions extending from hip to hip and sometimes around to the back.
An ideal candidate for an extended Tummy Tuck is someone who has a lot of excess skin mainly in the lower half of the body. Dr. Jiles will assess your body goals and recommend if an extended Tummy Tuck or lower body lift is a better option.
