1 Year After Mini TT I Have Loose Skin and Lumpiness, Is this Due to Over Liposuctioning?

In addition to tuck, lipo was preformed although not sure it should have been as I was NOT over weight. I am 5'4 114 lbs and mostly was concerned about lax skin and diastisis. Following sx, I am not smooth. My stomach is lumpy and I have swelling near suture line. In addition I now have lax skin above belly button. Is this correctable? I have had one consult and was told I needed a full tummy tuck and I am not willing to do that. Is the lumpiness due to over lipo and will that fat redistribute?
A: Problems with Mini Tummy Tuck

Yes, that is a common problem with mini tummy tuck.  If you do not have the full tummy tuck, then the skin above the belly button is not adequately treated and may appear loose.  Most patients are a candidate for a full tummy tuck and achieve excellent results.  Mini tummy tuck should be reserved for patients that do not need diastasis repair, have tight skin above the belly button and only minimally loose skin below the belly button.  If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice.

 

Good Luck.

skin removal during mini-tummy tuck vs. standard tummy tuck?

What differences would I find between a mini tummy tuck versus a total tummy tuck? Would a Mini Tummy Tuck Remove That Skin Completely?
A: Mini tummy tuck

Usually a mini tummy tuck involves some form of liposuction, tightening muscles in the lower abdomen and some skin excision. I prefer a full tummy tuck because the mini does not treat the upper abdomen.  The mini tummy tuck does not remvoe as much skin as a full tummy tuck.
