Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Options

Formation offers complete abdominoplasty solutions to address varying degrees of abdominal concerns. Dr. Grandhige’s expertise encompasses traditional, mini, extended, and circumferential tummy tuck procedures, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate treatment for their unique situation.

Full Abdominoplasty

Our most comprehensive tummy tuck procedure addresses significant excess skin and muscle separation. The incision extends from hipbone to hipbone, allowing Dr. Grandhige to tighten abdominal muscles while removing excess skin for dramatic improvement. This technique often includes navel repositioning and complementary liposuction for enhanced contouring.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Perfect for patients requiring correction primarily below the navel, this limited incision abdominoplasty offers excellent results with reduced recovery time. The shorter incision maintains the same discreet placement below the bikini line while addressing localized concerns in the lower abdomen.

Extended Abdominoplasty

Designed for patients who have experienced dramatic weight loss, this comprehensive approach includes additional vertical incisions to remove substantial excess skin. Extended tummy tuck procedures provide horizontal tightness and smoother contours for patients requiring extensive body contouring.

Circumferential Tummy Tuck

Our most extensive procedure, ideal for patients who have lost over 70 pounds. This belt lipectomy technique addresses excess skin around the entire trunk, including abdomen, flanks, hips, and buttocks. The circumferential approach provides spectacular three-dimensional results for complete body transformation
