Aging, pregnancy and major shifts in your body weight can take a toll on your skin’s elasticity. This means that many people who experience dramatic weight loss, aging and pregnancy may also struggle to deal with large amounts of excess sagging skin, particularly around the abdomen. If this is an area of concern, there is the extended abdominoplasty. With an extended abdominoplasty, you can remove this excess skin.
The extended abdominoplasty is a type of tummy tuck that deals with sagging skin on the flanks and lower back in addition to the stomach. This technique is more of a circumferential body lift that treats sagging skin with a focus on overall body shape. Liposuction may also be included to sculpt the waist or even chisel out the shape of the abdominal muscles.
Consult with Dr. Troy Andreasen to learn more about the extended abdominoplasty.
