What is Extended Abdominoplasty?

Extended abdominoplasty is an advanced surgical technique designed for individuals with significant weight loss or pronounced skin laxity. This procedure extends beyond traditional abdominoplasty, covering the sides of the waist, providing a more comprehensive body contouring result. It addresses not only localized fat deposits but also considerable skin laxity on the flanks, which liposuction alone cannot correct. Extended abdominoplasty dramatically improves body contour, both clothed and unclothed. The surgical time is longer due to intraoperative repositioning.

Benefits of Extended Abdominoplasty:

• Removal of excess skin and fat from the front and sides of the abdomen.
• Dramatic improvement of body silhouette.
• Enhancement of posture and core support.
• Long-lasting and stable results.

Extended abdominoplasty is mainly recommended for:

• Individuals after bariatric surgery or dramatic weight loss.
• Patients with extensive skin laxity on the front and sides of the abdomen.
