I am scheduled for a tummy tuck. I take baths every night and was wondering if I need to refrain from that and switch to showering??!!
I'm in agreement with the other doctors, this is one question that is best left answered by the operating surgeon. In my practice I prefer showering to immersion in a tub. Keep in mind, most plastic surgeons would prefer the wound to be carefully cleaned with soap and water rather than not cleaned since this reduces bacteria in the skin and the risk of infection in the wound.

While it is impossible to say if an abdominoplasty is the right procedure for you based on the limited photograph and without an exam, I usually remove caesarian section scars with my tummy tucks. Many women have a little shelf of skin that hangs over the c-section scar despite how much diet and exercise they may do. The abdominoplasty scar is typically much longer than a c-section scar and based on the photograph the incision would likely be much longer than what you currently have however it is impossible to do a consultation via the internet so I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a full examination, discuss your goals, discuss potential risks and benefits of surgery, and get more information. Good luck!
I was heavy before pregnancy and have lost all my "baby weight", and I continue to loose weight, which is good, but the extra skin is going to be a problem. At what point should I consider a full-tummy tuck over a mini-tummy tuck? Is the amount of skin that needs to be removed a factor that surgeons consider for the type of tuck needed?
Many ladies come in seeking a mini-abdominoplasty when in truth they really would most benefit from a full abdominoplasty. The two procedures are quite different. The mini-abdominoplasty while limiting the length of the incision and thus the resultant permanent scar also limits the amount of skin that can be removed. It also limits the amount of muscle tightening.
If you have stretch marks or loose skin that is located more than on the lower 50% of the area between the umbilicus and the pubic hair line, one generally needs a full abdominoplasty. If muscle laxity is present above the umbilicus one generally needs a full abdominoplasty.
The best advice would be to go meet with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area so that you can learn about the differences between these two operations as well as having a consultation which allows for a recommendation based on your physical exam. Good luck!
