An extensive tummy tuck is ideal for anyone whose problem extends past the abdomen to the hip, back, and flanks (sides). The incision is wider and longer than in the standard tuck since it involves the entire length of the abdomen as well as the posterior portion of the patient’s hips. With this procedure, the muscles will be exposed and tightened to contour these spots as well. Loose skin and excess fat will be removed, and the skin will be sutured.
