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.

How Often is a mini-Tummy Tuck Recommended for Stretch Marks post-baby?

Is a full tummy tuck ideally used on patients who have recently lost a lot more weight rather than a patient who gains and looses weight from a typical pregnancy. Is a mini tummy tuck sufficient for pregnancy stretch marks and loose skin?

A: Mini tummy tucks

In my experience, min tummy tucks are rarely performed because most patients actually need more skin removal than is achieved with a mini.  Your best  option is to see your PS and discuss the options with him/her.  Making the determination of a mini or full tummy tuck is best done by your PS after assesing your goals and amount of tissue excess.

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.
