A: Pregnancy after minituck Any pregnancy can negatively effect the surgical result. It is advisable not to have surgery until you have completed childbearing. The result can always be revised or a full abdominoplasty performed if necessary.

Not Very Happy About my Mini Tummy Tuck 2 Weeks Post-Op, Is This My Final Result? (photo)

Hi! I had a mini tummy tuck and lipo in september. It's been 2 weeks today since the MTT. I'm just wondering if I could still be swollen in my upper abdomen? The tummy tuck flattened my lower abdomen quite nicely..but sitting down I still have a roll hanging over my jeans. While my stomach looks decent standing, when i bend over..there is skin hanging off of my stomach. Is it possible that this will go away and I'm not giving it enough time? Also..is it possible to have a full tuck after a mini?

A: Mini tuck postop You are still in the initial phase of healing so the swelling has to recede. I am always concerned when patients reference results against clothing. If the jeans were too tight. Then it would not be a surprise for the photo to demonstrate a bulge. Bending over is not the correct position from which to evaluate the outcome of a procedure.

A: Elasticity and minituck Elasticity of the skin is an important criterion for a good result in all cosmetic. Surgeries. The minitu k is designed to correct stretching under the umbilicus. Not every woman who gives birth needs a full abdominoplasty. The critical thing is to perform the right operation for the right patient.
