How far around can an extend tummy tuck go before it's considered a full belt?

Asked By:Mrhaboobi in Overseas

I'm considering a tummy tuck, unfortunately I do have flank fat, my back however is fine, I'm reluctant to have a full 360 belt as I can't afford it, a tummy tuck that extended further around the body would be good, I'd say there is a good 8 inches of back width that doesn't need touching, can a tummy tuck extend this far around.? What are the limits! Thanks
