How do I decide on when to add the vertical incision to the usual horizontal incision for a tummy tuck?

With the patient in clinic, we look at how much additional skin and laxity can be removed with some gentle pinches in each direction.

For our patients who have lost 100+ pounds, there is often enough laxity side-to-side to go ahead and commit to it from the outset.

The recovery is the same, with 4-6 weeks before people are back to usual daily activities.
