Abdominoplasty techniques
Full tummy tuck: Excess skin and fat are removed and the abdominal wall is also tightened. While a flat abdomen is created with the remaining skin, the belly button is also moved to its new location.
Mini tummy tuck: It is preferred in patients with less sagging skin. Only the excess skin below the belly button is removed, the belly button is not moved, and the surgical scar is usually shorter.
