Restore Confidence with Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery in South Africa
An extended tummy tuck, also known as a lateral abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, including the flanks and sides. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, Dr. Deon’s approach addresses a broader area, ensuring a more contoured waistline and smoother silhouette.
This procedure is ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, leading to loose skin that cannot be corrected through diet or exercise alone.
