Does anybody have pictures of females who chose tummy tuck (mini or full) WITHOUT muscle tightening? Even better if the pictures are of women after pregnancy who decided not to have them tightened. I am considering a mini (I do not want a full) and I do not want my muscles tightened. I don't care if it's a "sub optimal" result in the eyes of the plastic surgeon. I mainly just want to get rid of the pouch of fat and some of the skin with as little invasiveness as possible...
To reiterate what some of my colleagues have said: removal of skin alone does constitute a panniculectomy; the need for muscle repair can be assessed on physical exam, but this is part of a true mini- or full tummy-tuck; it's your belly and your choice, but you have to understand the anticipated results with each procedure.
Also, if you have an isolated panniculectomy, local anesthesia may suffice without any IV sedation or general anesthesia.
Of course a formal consultation is required to determine your best option. Second opinions can also have clarify complex issues. Good luck.

I have had patients make the same request. However, if weakness, known as diastasis exist, it would be poor surgical judgement not to correct it at the time of the tummy tuck. The overall result would be more the sub optimal and lead to an unhappy patient.
