Extended tummy tuck vs regular tummy tuck? What’s the difference?

March 18, 2018
Asked By:julus2008 in KS

Hi I went to a plastic surgeon to get a quote on a tummy tuck and she said I could go with a regular tummy tuck or extended tummy tuck if I choose regular my sides could be good with exercise my only concern is if I go with a regular tummy tuck (to avoid longer scar) will the exercise fix my love handles? And will I have extra skin hanging ?
