Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Mini Tummy Tuck: Targets areas below the navel, requires a single incision. 
• Standard/Full/Traditional Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the entire midsection, requires two incisions.
• Lipoabdominoplasty/Brazilian Tummy Tuck: Uses advanced liposuction techniques to remove subcutaneous fat.
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Involves a large incision to tighten skin evenly across the tummy. 
• Torsoplasty/360-Degree Tummy Tuck: Combines liposuction with back, bra roll, and hip area contouring.
• Circumferential Tummy Tuck/Belt Plasty/Lower Body Lift: Removes excess skin on the backside, lifts the butt, and tightens lateral thigh skin.
