Tummy Tuck 360™

Tummy Tuck 360 in New York City & Westchester County

Manhattan, Harrison, & Carmel, NY

What is Tummy Tuck 360 ™?

Tummy Tuck 360 combines circumferential liposuction of the trunk (back, hips/flanks, abdomen) with a tummy tuck for a truly dramatic re-contouring and restoration of the entire mid-section. In properly selected patients, the results can be much more dramatic than a tummy tuck performed as an isolated procedure while addressing everything a more traditional tummy tuck addresses in addition to recontouring the back, hips and flanks.

Who is a suitable candidate?

Typically, it is a female patient who is done having children (you do not want to tighten the abdominal muscles if future pregnancies are planned as the repair will loosen with pregnancy). Patients present with complaints of bulging of their abdomen as well as excess skin. In addition, a good candidate for a Tummy Tuck 360™ also has excess fat of the flanks and back that they would like to address. By using a limited undermining technique for a Tummy Tuck 360™, liposuction of the abdomen can also be performed. Candidates are typically at or near their ideal body weight prior to surgery.

How is surgery performed?

Surgery typically lasts approximately three hours. The back and posterior hips are liposuctioned first and then liposuction of the abdomen is performed followed by a tummy tuck. The procedure is performed in our private operating rooms with experienced nurses and board-certified anesthesiologist.
