Dr.CBS performs mini tummy tuck for very selected cases. 2- Reverse tummy tuck: The excess skin only above the belly button is addressed. 3- Belt lipectomy (360 degrees tummy tuck): Also known as a lower body lift or circumferential body lift which addresses excess skin and fat around the entire midsection of the body. This procedure combines a tummy tuck with a lateral thigh lift and buttock lift. It's particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, sagging skin around their midsection. 4- Fleur de Lis Abdominoplasty: A tummy tuck technique designed for patients with significant excess skin in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the abdomen, combined with a vertical incision from the breastbone to the pubic area, creating a T-shaped or anchor-shaped pattern. 5- Traditional Tummy Tuck: Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles with a horizontal incision from hip to hip. Please note that while the majority of Dr. CBS's tummy tuck cases involve full abdominoplasty with a single horizontal scar, he decides each procedure to the individual patient, determining the most appropriate technique after a thorough physical examination.
