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?
It is rare to find an excellent candidate for a mini TT. If ther is anything going on above the umbi in terms of muscle laxity or skin laxity, a mini will NOT fix that and only make it look worse and the lower abdomen is tighter, I can't say what caused what you have but a photo would help but it really is likely the only a full TT will help at this point. Otherwise best to do nothing as no skin tightening technologies are worth the money.
After several consultations with drs, have decided to get Liposuction, + I need a scar revision of my previous c-sect which looks like its becoming a keloid. I am 5'7, 150lbs. Question : Since I am doing a scar revision, can I include a mini tummy tuck and tighten my skin in the process as well? Is the recovery time the same for scar revision vs mini Tt? Some drs during my consult suggested only lipo while some said full tummy tuck. Not keen into full Tt cost or the length of the scar. Any advice pls?
While I don't see a photo of your tummy with this question I will try to imagine that you have some bulging below you belly button and a C-section scar below the belt line. You can have a great result with just liposuction and a scar revision if your skin is thick and tight and will retract adequately after the lipo. But if you have loose skin and stretch marks in this area you will probably be happier spending more money to get the mini done and get a flatter tighter result. Don't scrimp on the costs only to find out you should have spent more money to get the right operation!
