Tummy Tuck in Mexico

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons almost 150,000 patients had an abdominoplasty surgery, or tummy tuck, in US in 2011. However, as medical insurance companies do not cover plastic surgeries many people cannot afford paying the cost of the procedure. That is why a growing number of Western medical tourists choose a tummy tuck in Tijuana, Cancun, and a host of other Mexican cities. 

 

An Overview of Tummy Tucks

Plastic surgery in Mexico is a popular choice with medical tourists, which means hospitals are constantly improving their facilities to keep up with the international standards. Plastic surgeons perform different types of abdominoplasty tummy tuck surgery in Mexico.  

• A traditional tummy tuck corrects a protruding abdomen by removing excess skin and fat tissue and tightening the abdominal wall muscles. It enhances the body contour by making the abdomen firmer and flatter. This type of abdominoplasty in Mexico is recommended for male or female patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight, or women with significantly sagging skin after a number of pregnancies. 
•  An extended tummy tuck in Mexico involves a long cut in the abdomen that extends from the hips to the lower back. The plastic surgeon tightens the abdominal and gluteal muscles, and removes fat and loose skin. Like with the traditional tummy tuck, the belly button is moved to correspond with the new shape. 
•  Mini tummy tucks in Mexico can also be performed on those patients who have minor amounts of excess skin and belly fat. The incision made during the procedure is much smaller and the recovery time is shorter.
