#Fleur de lis tummy tuck scar tattoo skin#
There is definitely a greater amount of skin that is removed and a greater amount of tightening of the abdominal wall with a full abdominoplasty compared to a mini abdominoplasty. The muscles from the bottom ofthe ribs down to the pubic area are tightened, and a new opening is created for the belly button. A greater amount of skin is resected, oftentimes from that incision up to the level of the belly button. At the time of a mini abdominoplasty, we may tighten the muscles somewhat from the umbilicus down to the pubic area and do some liposuction along the remaining portion of the abdomen to help feather and blend the results.Ī full abdominoplasty involves a longer incision, runs from the hip bone across the pubic area to the hip bone. We will want to plan that incision so it will be hidden by a bathing suit. The higher the incision, the greater the amount of skin that can be removed. The lower down that incision, obviously, the less skin that can be removed. Think of this as very similar to a C section scar. Oftentimes when we see a patient for an abdominal consultation, we will run through a checklist including liposuction, mini abdominoplasty, full abdominoplasty, fleur- de-lis or possible combinations.Ī mini abdominoplasty takes out a roll of skin or loose skin immediately above the pubic area.
