Can skin/fat removal be done without muscle surgery, are there different types of tummy tucks?

Thanks for your question. The most common tummy tuck involves skin and fat removal as well as tightening of the abdominal muscles. The muscles are not cut, but tightened like a corset to flatten the abdomen. The muscle work does not need to be done if you don't want it. The same amount of fat and skin could still be removes.Best wishes.

It is correct we may do Tt without MR and it definitely will be different about Recovery and aggressiveness. Just must be aware that muscle repair is the perfect procedure to achieve a flat abdomen and very importantly a smaller waist. So if you are totally flat, tight abdominal muscle and nice waist,  you do not need muscle repair. Be encouraged Dr. Cardenas
