Is It Possible to Combine a Tubal Ligation with a Mini-tummy Tuck or Do I Have to Have a Full Tummy Tuck?

I would like to get a tubal ligation, preferably where tubes are burned or tied/clipped instead of using the method where coils are inserted into the tubes. However, I am also considering a mini tummy tuck - only if I am determined to be a good candidate. Is it possible to combine with a surgical tubal ligation with a mini-tummy tuck or do I have to have a full tummy tuck to get both? My issue is scarring severity and placement associated with a full tummy-tuck.

Mini vs full tummy tuck

The choice between mini and full TT's have nothing to do with tubal ligations and all to do with the result you expect and the anatomy you have. If you have any muscle or skin laxity above the umbilicus (and virtually all postpregnancy people do), a full TT is better because the mini does nothing up there and can even make that area stick out more by just tightening the lower ab muscles.
