Mini Tummy Tuck or Liposuction

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Mini Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, or combination for post-pregnancy tummy?

I have had two consultations from reputable surgeons. Doctor A states I do not need a mini tummy tuck and that I should consider liposuction. My worries are baggy, wrinkly skin. Doctor A states it will "shrink wrap", well given my skin elasticity. Doctor B is okay with mini tummy tuck with liposuction, and states that the combination will result in a concave look but believes I will be pleased with the results. Doctor A stated mini tummy tuck with Lipo would look bad because of the bubbling effect. Both doctors were surprised at the minimal abdominal separation. I am 8 months post partum from twins and had two c sections. What would be the best procedure for my tummy?

I understand why you are confused.

In my experience, there is no substitute for a tummy tuck to correct loose skin. Most individuals fear the scar but it is likely that a mini tummy tuck would result in only a slight elongation of your existing c-section scar.
