A high-BMI tummy tuck, also called a plus-size tummy tuck, is a variation of a standard abdominoplasty that accommodates patients with a body mass index over 30. This surgery involves a longer incision and more extensive tissue removal to address the additional fat and skin laxity associated with excess weight. Due to the increased complexity and demands, the high-BMI tummy tuck takes approximately 2-3 hours longer than a standard procedure. It aims to create a flatter abdominal profile by removing excess tissues and tightening weakened muscles. This surgery is tailored to the unique anatomical needs of overweight patients seeking body contouring.
