When it comes to a tummy tuck there are many different choices in techniques to choose from. These choices greatly depend on what you want done, how much skin or fat you will want removed and if you are going to get some abdominal muscle repairs done. In general the tummy tuck procedure can be broken down into a couple of groups including the mini tummy tuck, endoscopic tummy tuck, reverse abdominoplasty as well as a circumferential tummy tuck.

Complete abdominoplasty is the circumferential tummy tuck in which large amounts of skin and fat cell deposits will be removed throughout the entire abdominal region. This technique will flatten out the abs while at the same time it will also take care of those love handles. This technique obviously has the largest incision that goes from hip bone to hip bone just above the pubis area. Then the surgeon will remove the necessary fat cells fix any muscles and then pull all of the abdominal skin tight before suturing the incision closed and cutting off the excess skin.

You then have the reverse abdominoplasty which is a tummy tuck technique that is offered for persons who have undergone a breast augmentation or a chest lift. It is very similar to that of the standard tummy tuck.

Finally you have the Mini tummy tuck and the endoscopic tummy tuck. The endoscopic tummy tuck is not for people who need to have any skin removed. It is also not for those who need large amounts of excess fat cells taken out either. The endoscopic tummy tuck is for those who need their abdominal muscles repaired. The mini tummy tuck is a tummy tuck technique that is localized to a particular area of the abdominal region. This mini tummy tuck is a great alternative for those who may have love handles they wish to get rid of but nothing else.
