Full
A full tummy tuck is the standard abdominoplasty: skin above and below the umbilicus, muscle tightened when indicated, umbilicus moved. See the full page or the shared what a tummy tuck is description.
Mini
A mini uses a shorter, lower incision and leaves the umbilicus in place. It is aimed at limited loose skin below the belly button; anything hanging above the umbilicus is outside its reach. Detail on the mini page.
Extended
An extended operation continues past the front of the abdomen so the flanks are treated. The scar is longer than a full tummy tuck and it is not the same as a circumferential 360. See extended tummy tuck.
Fleur-de-Lis
A fleur-de-lis pattern adds an upright scar to the low horizontal one, so skin can be taken from side to side as well as up and down. Discussed most often after large weight loss. See fleur-de-lis.
Reverse
A reverse tummy tuck is for loose skin on the upper abdomen. The scar sits in the crease under the breasts, not along the underwear line. See reverse tummy tuck.
360
A 360 tummy tuck goes around the trunk, in the same family as a belt lipectomy or lower body lift. Considered after major weight loss when loose skin is not limited to the front. See 360 tummy tuck.
Apronectomy
An apronectomy removes a hanging apron of skin and fat. In UK practice that is the usual name; the surgical literature calls the functional operation a panniculectomy. See apronectomy.
Non-surgical
Non-surgical tummy tuck is a marketing umbrella for devices, offered for mild looseness or a small fat pocket. They do not cut away an apron and they do not suture muscles. See non-surgical tummy tuck.
How a surgeon decides which one
The decision starts with the abdomen, not a league table. Where is the loose skin — below the belly button, above it, out to the flanks, or all the way round? Is there a hanging apron, or a contour concern with muscle laxity? Has weight been stable? None of these operations is best in the abstract.
The comparison table puts the same columns in one place. Two narrower questions have their own pages: tummy tuck or mummy makeover and tummy tuck or liposuction. Fees live on the fee guide, not here.
