In addition to the full and mini tummy tucks there are other types of tummy tucks to address the different conditions of patients. Among these is the reverse tummy tuck which is done if the excess skin to be removed is found largely on the upper abdomen. Unlike a regular tummy tuck the skin is excised from the bottom up, and the resulting scar may be hidden below the breasts. This may be done together with a mini tummy tuck to trim the abdominal area below the navel.
The more extensive types of tummy tucks are the circumferential and extended tummy tucks which remove excess skin all the way to the back area. These types of tummy tucks are more complicated and you may find from a tummy tuck price guide that these would typically cost more than regular tummy tucks.
Some tummy tucks may be done together with another procedure such as a liposuction to achieve the best results. Typically doing two or more procedures at the same time may save you some costs, particularly on anesthesia and facilities costs.
