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!

If you are planning abdominal liposuction and a scar revision already then upgrading the scar revision to a mini tummy tuck is likely to provide a better result. Before you finalize that plan, make sure you review with your surgeon the comparison of a full tummy tuck with a mini tummy tuck so that you will get the outcome you are seeking. Make sure your plastic surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is experienced in these procedures.
How Painfull is a Minni Tummy Tuck Under Local Anesthesia?
Results for a mini tummy tuck are going to be better if you are fully asleep for the procedure. I like to get as much from the procedure for you as I can and will try to dissect along the wistline and hips to improve contour there. If I am worrried about your being uncomfortable during surgery I might not be able to maximize your outcome. Local anesthesia may sound like a good idea but it is not worth the compromise for this procedure. I think it is unwise.
