Who Is a Good Candidate for an Extended Tummy Tuck?

A consultation for an extended tummy tuck may be appropriate for individuals experiencing excess skin, contour changes, or tissue laxity across both the abdomen and flanks. These concerns are often more extensive than those typically addressed by a standard tummy tuck and may follow significant weight loss or other body changes.

At Grand Genesis Health, candidacy is determined through a private medical evaluation. Each consultation focuses on anatomy, treatment goals, overall health, and the extent of contour concerns to determine whether an extended tummy tuck is the most appropriate procedure.

At Grand Genesis Health, treatment recommendations are based on individualized evaluation, patient safety, and clear treatment planning. A private consultation allows patients to better understand the procedure, ask questions, and determine whether an extended tummy tuck is appropriate for their goals.
