It is impossible to know if you are a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck by your photo. I typically only offer mini tummy tucks to patients who have good quality upper abdominal skin that is not lax and when all the skinn laxity is in the lower half of the abdomen. a good test is to bend at the waist and see if you have a roll of skin that forms above your waist.
When are mini tummy tucks possible without the need of general anesthesia? http://www.pelosimedicalcenter.com/tummytuck_faq.htm
Both mini and full tummy tucks can be done using regional anesthesia (epidural and sometimes spinal). This decision is made by the board certified anesthesiologist. Sometimes even when the epidural is done perfectly, the patient still has feeling and the patient will then need to go under general anesthesia to stay comfortable during the procedure.
