Should I Get a Mini Tummy Tuck or a Full Tummy Tuck (photo)

I am soon looking into a tummy tuck but I do not have all the lose skin allot of other women have but looks like my ab muscles are messed up allot higher then a mini tummy tuck would cover any insight you can give me would be great thanks :)

A: What is the goal?

Based on the photo's that you sent I would not suggest any surgery be done. The shape is good , the skin laxity is nonexistent, the muscles appear to be together. No photo is as good as an in person exam so I suggest you get the opinion of a Board Certified  Plastic Surgeon.

Will a Mini Tummy Tuck and Lipo Work for Me?

Will a mini tummy tuck and lipo work for me? Not looking for a long scar hip to hip nor a completely flat stomach just improvement on my belly.

A: Some improvement

To get the best result a full abdominoplasty would be best, however you would get some improvement if you did lipo with a mini abdominoplasty. In the picture there is excess skin above the umbilicus and after a mini this excess would still be present.

Will a Mini Tummy Tuck Hold Up?

I am considering a mini tuck with more plications but will it hold up?

A: Mini Tummy Tucks will hold up

If you are a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck, then it should do very well over time.  In other words, unless you gain a lot of weight, it should definately hold up.
