I've noticed some doctors make the waist very small while others don't seem to think this is important. Is there a name for the specific type of abdominal tummy tuck that will sculpt a small waist?
Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh reinforcement Unfortunately, you have not provided any photographs but often the limiting factor in making a very small waist is intra-abdominal fat. Attempts to tighten external abdominal wall will compress the internal fat, raising the diaphragm, which interferes with breathing. However, if that is not your situation, the technique I recommend is abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement combined with liposuction. The key feature of an abdominoplasty is not tightening the muscles but tightening the lining of the muscles, which is called the fascia. After the fascia is tightened I will reinforce this with mesh to create a more hourglass figure. Liposuction of the flanks and sides also helps decrease the circumference.

Answer: Tummy tuck Yes, a good one! Seriously though, a tummy tuck should be able to remove excess skin, fat, tighten muscles and restore your underlying waist line.

Answer: Small waist is partly surgical, partly genetic Of course there is a limit to your waist size that is determined genetically and you must be at ideal body weight. The surgeon helps by doing liposuction in the muffin top areas to give you more of an hourglass figure. The tummy tuck removes skin, fat, and provides muscle tightening that also helps cinch the waistline. I am not aware of a name for a specific procedure that reduces waist size but any such procedure will make use of liposuction and a tummy tuck. It is important for the surgeon not to be too aggressive with the liposuction because this can leave contour deformities that are difficult to correct. I have attached a link to my website in case you wish to look at some examples.

Answer: Tummy tuck that creates very small waist, is there a name for that? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Though there is no recognized name for this much of the results of your procedure are based on your underlying muscle and bone anatomy with the best results obtained with tightening of your stomach muscles, helping to achieve a flatter and more narrow appearance, while liposuction can enhance your tummy tuck results by contouring the overlying adipose tissue to remove isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. Hope that this helps.

Answer: Small waists Dear Housecat, There is no name for it. It is just good and tight abdominal muscles plication during the tummy tuck surgery. So if it is important to you, do your due diligence carefully and choose your surgeon wisely. You have to realize that not all results are the same, because experience, technical skills and aesthetic eye are critical for good outcome. Always, consult with experience board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with flat stomach, tight and youthful looking skin, nice belly button, narrow waists, improved body posture and low scar. Best of luck, Dr Widder
