It is especially beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss.

This procedure can effectively:

Smooth the abdomen and waistline
Eliminate loose, hanging skin
Tighten separated or weakened abdominal muscles
Reduce excess tissue around the flanks and hips

Who Is a Candidate for the Extended Procedure?

Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations. Many have undergone significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies and now experience excess skin across the abdomen and flanks. A consultation ensures your candidacy and helps our surgeons craft a safe, personalized surgical plan.

What Happens During Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery

Anesthesia is administered to ensure complete comfort.
A carefully planned incision runs from the lower abdomen and extends around the flanks.
Excess skin and fat are removed from the abdominal and hip regions.
Abdominal muscles are tightened to restore core strength.
The skin is redraped, and the belly button is repositioned.
Incisions are closed, and compression garments are placed for healing.

Healing, Downtime, and Results

Recovery time for an extended tummy tuck in Orlando may be longer than for a standard abdominoplasty due to the larger treatment area. Most patients return to light activity within two weeks, though full healing can take several weeks. As swelling fades, your slimmer, more defined silhouette begins to emerge. The results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
