I have worked out and eaten well after having both my babies but just can't seem to lose the fat in my abdomen area. I also had a previous surgery that left me with a c-section type scar and has created a 'shelf' for my stomach.
I am scheduled to have lip on the abs, flanks and...

I was on these boards a lot as I prepared for my mini tummy tuck and wanted to share my experience so far as there are not a lot of stories of mini tummy tucks out there.
I had mainly loose skin and some stretch marks below the belly button, muscles were fine, so I was able to get away with...

Well, I'm 9 days away from my surgery, and I have to say, I'm not nervous at all yet. I have a pretty significant amount of loose skin from my two 9 and 10lb babies. I lost all of the baby weight within a year of having them. (They were 16 months apart.) And ever since then, I'm just...

My experience was great all in all. The day of surgery I was very scard and almost walked out, but because my nurse & Dr.assured me that everything would be fine I did it! I am so glad that I did it. The cons would be just not knowing the prep for after surgery. There was a lot of bleeding...

Mini tummy tuck: was it worth it?
Mini Tummy Tuck Information
- A mini tummy tuck (or "mini tuck", mini Abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to tighten loose skin on the lower abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck involves a short, horizontal incision on the lower abdomen, and the navel is left intact
- Plastic surgeons believe that a "mini tuck" yields "mini" results, thus most patients undergo the full tummy tuck; with the mini you get 1/2 of the full tummy tuck's scar, but only 25% of the result
- A mini tummy tuck results in a scar that has the same length as a typical c-section (half the distance from hipbone to hipbone)
- The mini tummy tuck allows for tightening the lower abdomen, but does nothing for the upper abdomen
