How to Find out if I Need a Mini or a Full Tummy Tuck?

Is there any chance a mother of 3 can have a mini tummy tuck? What is the criteria? I do weight training since I was a teenager and although I think my muscles are a little stretched I can only place a finger between them . I am 5.4 and my weight is 115 pounds.

A: Mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck?

An exam is necessary to say for sure.  In general, a mini tummy tuck is best suited for someone with skin redundancy and muscle separation limited below the belly button.

Why Do I Have a Bulge Above my Belly Button After a Mini Tummy Tuck?

I had my sugery almost a year ago. The surgeon said he went above my belly button to tighten the muscles and also below the bb. He commented twice that I had alot of muscle in my abdomen. My abdomen used to be somewhat flat with just a tiny bit of loose skin right above my c section. That is why I opted for the mini tt. Now my abdomen protrudes out when you look at it from the side. I thought that a mini was tightening below the bb and removal of some extra skin. Why does it look worse now?

A: why is there a bulge after a mini tummy tuck?

In a "mini" tummy tuck, there is often a tightening of the abdominal wall just on the lower half of the abdomen.  If you are very thin, you may see a protrusion (dogear) at teh top of that line of tightening stitches.  This may be addressed by either upper abdomen liposuction or conversion to a full tummy tuck.
