Based on the way you asked, I am assuming that by regular tummy tuck you mean removal of excess skin only, and that the Hour Glass tummy tuck would be circumferential liposuction as well as the tummy tuck. This is a technique that I use at my practice called the Timeless Tuck, which is circumferential liposuction, front and back, and the removal of excess skin. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon to fully assess you and to see which treatment plan option would be best for you.
There are many different styles of tummy tuck. The terms you are using seem more like marketing terms than truly different types of tummy tuck. Be sure to discuss what type of surgery is right for you from a board certified plastic surgeon.
Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks and hips will improve the shape. The tummy tuck result will last a long timeunless you have fluctuations in weight or have anotherchild. I encourage you to make an appointment with a BoardCertified Plastic Surgeon to discuss all of your options. BestWishes
All versions of a tummy tuck for women aim to produce an hourglass figure. Methods to accomplish this include liposuction of the flanks and muscle repair. The term "hourglass tummy tuck" is not recognized by most plastic surgeons because it implies something different than what we already do.
Thank you for your question. A TT tightens muscles and removes skin from the abdomen. The surgeon may be describing additional liposuction to the flanks to help create contour. Liposuction to the flanks often enhances the results of a TT. Best,
