Also called as a body lift by many, an extended tummy tuck/ abdominoplasty is an excellent option for those patients who have recently lost a substantial amount of weight, whether through bariatric surgery or a strict regimen of diet and exercise. Such weight loss often leaves the skin looking stretched and loose, this skin can weigh several pounds. An extended tummy tuck/abdominoplasty allows for the removal of this skin and tightens the remaining skin and tissue, leaving the body looking more toned and trim.

Ears that are too large or are awkwardly “sticking out” can be corrected with this procedure. With the help of LA or GA, small incisions to reshape the cartilage are made. Ears can be set back (or pinned back) with small and inconspicuously incisions in the creases behind the ears where excess tissue is removed and the cartilage is held back with stitches.

The procedure takes about 2 hours and day care may be required. Recuperation is 2 to 3 days and stitches will be removed after 7 days.
