I just had twins and my stomach bulges out when I bend over. My doctor tells me I have diastasis. What are the advantages of having a mini tummy tuck to repair the diastasis?
Minitummy tucks are often sought by women thinking that it might be better than full tummy tucks but that is often not the case. It is very rare that I will do a mini-tuck because more often than not...women have diastasis that involves the whole abdomen. Also, if you pinch the skin above the belly button and find that there is a lot of laxity of the skin, then a full tummy tuck will give the best result. Before you settle to have a mini tummy tuck, make sure you ask a lot of questions pertaining to the skin laxity.

I am 35 and have had 2 C-sections. I do have a acummulated fat in the lower part of the abdomen and on the flanks. I had a recent consultation with a Plastic Surgeon who mentioned that I may be happy with Lipo alone, but could benefit from lipo+ mini tummy tuck (he says only a smalll % of people can actually qualify for it). I don't want the added risks involved with another procedure, and not the cost if would not make a drastic difference. He did say my skin is not in bad condition ...I do have some extra skin, but nothing sagging. You can notice it if I bend, for example, or move etc....It seems to be a lot of hype about samrtlipo and the benefits of skin Tightening. Would that be enough to have a flat tummy? Also, I don't like the idea of general anesthesia. Can a mini tummy tuck be performed under local+sedation, maybe?
A mini tummy tuck certainly can be performed safely under sedation. In fact some surgeons would tell you that it would be safer than general anesthesia for a procedure such as this. Liposuction works very well for some people but given the extra skin and c-section scar you would likely have a "better" result with the mini-TT. I offer Smartlipo and some ladies in exactly your situation have been delighted with the result but you need to understand that skin tightening from Laser or Smartlipo is not nearly as strong as skin removal with a tummy tuck. In the end it comes down to how much of a result you are looking for...
