Would I Be a Good Candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck and Fat Grafting to Buttocks? (Photos)

I have 2 children 19mths & 3mths. I have always been a thin person and when i had my first he stretched me to the max resulting in deep stretch marks and loose skin. i am 22 years old, 5'7, and 130 lbs. I want to get a skin only mini tummy tuck for the loose skin and fat grafting to my buttocks for a plumper butt. Not concerned about stretch marks just loose skin. im also worried i dont have enough body fat for fat grafting. whats the price for a combine procedure? excuse my nasty stretchmarks

Mini vs full tummy tuck

Mini-tummy tuck is not the right surgery for you, if you had a full tummy tuck more skin can be removed as well as striae. You can also get your abdominal muscle repaired at the same time and the Brazilian butt lift will help to make you look better. Best wishes

Tummy tuck

Mini tummy tuck and brazilian fat grafting question

Hi KrissyLee, thanks for the post and the pics. It's true that a face to face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is your best answer. based on the photos alone, I would agree with the PS here: you would be better off with a FULL tummy tuck. The issue comes down to the degree of loose skin ABOVE the belly button. A mini tuck does not address this issue the way a FULL tummy tuck would. A brazilian would be of benefit to you, however, the recovery process is more... more

Would I Be a Good Candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck and Fat Grafting to Buttocks

The correct answer will only come from an examination in the setting of a consultation. From the photos alone I would discourage a mini-TT alone because the problems I can see are present above and below the navel, and a mini-TT will not address the upper half of the abdomen, and would therefore leave an imbalanced appearance. Fat could certainly be harvested from the tissue that would be removed and make up part of the fat to be grafted to the buttocks. Best approach is... more
