Mini vs full tummy tuck

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Other Mini tummy tuck methods?

I am 23 years old and have 2 kids. I just had my second child 3 months ago. I am done having children. I still have a little weight to lose and I will lose it all by next year when I am ready for the procedure. I have a little loose skin on the belly--not much really. It's just not tight anymore. When I pull my skin down like in the traditional mini tummy tuck, it does not look right. Are there other methods? What would you suggest I do?

Because you have damaged skin above the belly button, a mini tummy tuck won't give you the look you want.  You will have a higher scar than people with lots of extra skin, but a full tummy tuck will be giving you more of the result you want.
