I have very bad stretch marks and while I hate them, the bit that I hate more is the wrinkles and saggy skin under my belly button.
I understand a full TT (Tummy Tuck) would correct most of my concerns but I'm not sure I could live with such a large scar. Therefore, I was wondering, if I could live with the stretch marks can a mini tuck get rid of the wrinkly, saggy skin under my belly button?
A mini tummy tuck is an good procedure to remove loose, saggy skin underneath your naval, and also will improve stretch marks. The length of the incision involved in a mini tummy tuck will depend of the amount of skin that needs to be removed but still has moderate length to it. The incision is smaller then the full tummy tuck, but the important thing is the position of the scar and the manner in which the procedure is performed. A full tummy tuck will give a better overall result and if the incision is placed within the bikini line and heals great, you will be happy. However, the mini tummy tuck is still an excellent option if you are the right candidate because you will not need to reposition the belly button. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which procedure is better for you.
Will the desicison be completely up to me to get a mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck? I may need a full to be completely flat,but I don't want a flat stomach just improvement of my saggy skin! I have one 3 year old and I'm 23 I can't take another day unhappy with this stomach, it's very upseting. I would like a mini because I would like kids in the near future but I can't go 5 more years unhappy with my stomach.
When a patient wants to have an abdominoplasty it is best to consult with your surgeon to see what would give you the best results and then decide together with the surgeon. Mini abdominoplasty is performed when only the skin under the umbilicus is loose and needs to be tightened, therefore not many patients are candidates for this procedure. Many patients, after giving birth or who have lost a lot of weight, have loose skin above and below the umbilicus and need their abdominal muscles tightened, so a full abdominoplasty is preformed.
Hi I am 5'2" and 110 lbs. I have loose skin and my abs are separated from 2 pregnancies. I was wondering if I would need a full or a mini tummy tuck?
To determine whether you need a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck, you really need to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. If you do not have a lot of loose skin then you might only need a mini tummy tuck. Mini tummy tuck is performed on patients who require only minimal skin and fat removal below the belly button. The procedure requires a shorter abdominal incision and the belly button does not need to be repositioned. Meanwhile a full tummy tuck is for people with a lot of skin to be removed and muscle that needs to be tightened, and does involve repositioning the belly button.
