A full abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, which is the procedure most patients need, is usually performed for someone who has sagging skin and muscle above as well as below the belly button. During the procedure, an incision is made below the level of the bikini line and the skin is lifted. The belly button is reset through a new location in the skin so it basically stays in the same position. Often times, some liposuction is done on the love handle areas to maximally smooth the abdomen.
   

A mini-abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) is for patients that have only a tiny amount of extra skin hanging below the belly button. It is a shorter procedure with less recovery, and is often combined with liposuction. However, if the abdominal muscles are separated or the skin sagging is excessive, a full abdominoplasty is needed for the best results.

Full Body Lift - This procedure is often done for a patient who loses a lot of weight or after gastric bypass surgery. The excess skin is removed from all around the abdomen (front and back) which essentially provides a tummy tuck, buttock lift and outer leg lift all at the same time.
    

Thigh Lift or Buttock Lift - An incision is made high in the inner thighs in order to remove excess skin and tighten the muscle.
    

Arm Lift (brachioplasty) The incisions are placed under the arms to allow excess skin to be removed and the muscle tightened to take care of the “jiggly area” under the arms.
