Who qualifies for avelar and which one is preferred? Does one give better results?
Answer: What is the difference between an avelar Tummy Tuck versus the standard? Thank you for your question. The Avelar Tummy Tuck is a limited approach procedure. Limited incision, limited undermining and limited results. A traditional Tummy Tuck addresses skin laxity, excess fat and the widened space between the rectus muscles. Unless one has limited goals a more comprehensive approach will have superior results. Good luck.

Answer: What is the difference between an avelar Tummy Tuck versus the standard? The tummy tuck procedure typically involves plication of the abdominal wall muscle that have spread during pregnancy or weight gain/loss. Omitting this part of the procedure will leave you with continued abdominal wall laxity and, in my opinion, a less than optimal result.Best wishes.

Answer: Avelar vs standard tummy tuck I agree with the other surgeon. Avelar is good for patients with extremely loose skin. It's a rarity to find a patient who is a good candidate for this procedure. Cheers

Answer: Standard vs. Avelar Tummy Tuck Unless you have a lot of loose abdominal skin, usually from a lot of weight loss, standard approaches to a tummy tuck create far superior results. Few patients are good candidates for the more limited avelar tummy tuck which is done with no skin undermining.
