What is Abdominoplasty 270?
Abdominoplasty 270 is a tummy tuck whose incision is extended beyond the hips towards the flanks, about 270 degrees of the midsection. Excess skin is removed from the front and from both sides, the abdominal muscles that pregnancy or weight loss separated are repaired, and the navel is repositioned. It goes further than a full tummy tuck, which removes skin from the front, and stops short of a circumferential procedure that continues across the back.
How Does Abdominoplasty 270 Work?
- 1A low incision is made along the bikini line and extended past the hips towards the flanks
- 2Excess skin and fat are removed from the front and both sides
- 3Separated abdominal muscles are sutured back together
- 4The navel is repositioned into its natural place on the tightened skin
Who is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty 270?
- Loose skin at the front of the abdomen that also hangs over the flanks
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that exercise cannot close
- Skin laxity after pregnancy or weight loss that a front-only tummy tuck would leave at the sides
- Within 10–15 kg of a stable target weight for at least six months
- Non-smokers, or willing to stop for the period the surgeon specifies

Frequently Asked Questions
It describes how far the incision and the skin removal go around the midsection. A full tummy tuck removes skin from the front. The 270 extends past the hips to the flanks. A circumferential procedure continues across the back.
No. Liposuction is a separate item on your plan: your surgeon adds Liposuction 360 or a zone row beside this operation when he plans it, and you see it as its own line with its own price.
It depends on where your loose skin is. If it stays at the front, a full tummy tuck treats it. If it folds over the flanks, the 270 reaches it. Your surgeon decides this from your photographs.
Low across the abdomen along the bikini line and continuing past the hips towards the flanks, plus a small scar around the navel. It is placed so that underwear and swimwear cover most of it.
The removed skin does not come back and the muscle repair is permanent. Remaining fat can still grow, which is why surgeons ask for a stable weight beforehand and suggest waiting if you plan another pregnancy.
