4 children, thin frame. Mainly excesses skin and stretch marks I would like to see gone.. should I look into a full or mini tummy tuck. I'm also looking at doing breast augmentation and lift, at the same time if that makes a difference.
Answer: Mini tummy tuck versus full tummy tuck depends on many factors. You ask a great question which can only truly be answered during a thorough consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who performs mommy makeovers. During the consultation I would examine your tummy for how much skin laxity you have and how much muscle tone you have regained. The length of the scar, whether do reposition your belly button, whether to do muscle work all depend on your exam and your goals. Sorry to be so non committal, but without a one on one exam and without hearing your goals it is not possible for me to make a definitive recommendation. I wish you luck and be sure you choose the Plastic Surgeon who will work with you to provide the safest and best possible result.

Whether you should opt for a mini or full tummy tuck depends on your specific needs and the extent of loose skin and muscle laxity in your abdominal area. A mini tummy tuck is typically suitable for individuals with mild to moderate concerns below the navel, while a full tummy tuck addresses both upper and lower abdomen issues. It’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate procedure for your specific case.

Answer: Mini TT Candidate? Mini-abdominoplasty tightens the lower abdominal wall muscles and removes redundant skin below the umbilicus, belly button, only. The shortest scar technique leaves a scar at the pubic hair line. Liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck to benefit selected patients ‘Mini” tummy tucks can benefit patients who have a small amount of excess skin and fat or protruding of the lower abdomen. This operation may be done under local anesthesia with sedation, on an outpatient basis.

Answer: Thin frame: mii or full tummy tuck? Hello! Thank you for your question and photos! I hope that these answers help! Tummy tuck is an excellent method for shaping the belly and create a flatter and sculpted abdomen after the procedure. Looking at your photos, I do believe that you would be an excellent candidate for this procedure in order to remove the excess skin/soft tissue of your lower abdomen and contour the areas of your belly. Also, abdominal wall tightening may optimize your result. Stretch marks to the level of your umbilicus will also be excised. Also, a continued healthy and active lifestyle prior to the procedure and afterwards is recommended in order to maintain the benefits that the procedure has given to you. Once you are ready for the procedure, I would likely recommend a short scar tummy tuck with abdominal wall tightening. This would remove the excess skin/soft tissue and stretch marks while contouring your belly. The mini tummy tuck has limited usefulness and limited candidates as it truly only addresses excess skin in a small area above your pubis. It will not address your abdominal wall and the tightening of such, frequently needed to achieve a shapely abdominal wall. While the recovery time is shorter, the benefits afforded to you by a full tummy tuck are much greater and will optimize your result. You should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon well-versed in body contouring procedures at anytime to go over options to assist you in deciding which procedure(s) would be right for you. Best wishes!

Answer: Mini tummy tuck vs full tummy tuck As others have answered here, a mini tuck primarily address skin laxity and sometimes abdominal laxity below the belly button. It doesn't do much for looseness or muscle laxity above the bellybutton. A full tummy tuck handles this area better. There are other variations that are less well-known depending upon your goals and time for recovery. For example a full tummy tuck can be done without muscle repair for the appropriate patient. A full muscle tightening can be done with a mini tummy tuck skin excision or sometimes with no skin excision. There are more extensive kinds of abdominoplasty that remove even more skin in patients with massive weight loss and severe laxity The best way to approach this would be to learn which option would best fulfill your needs. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help go over the options with you and address your goals.

Answer: Mini Tummy tuck vs. Standard tummy tuck It is difficult to give you an answer without a physical exam. Photos cannot reveal exactly how much loose skin you have and the condition of your muscle layer beneath the skin. A mini tummy tuck focuses on skin laxity below the umbilicus and does not address loose skin above the umbilicus. You best results would probably come from a standard tummy tuck. It is also possible to perform a breast lift or breast augmentation along with the tummy tuck. Consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can discuss your options and give you an expert opinion on which procedures are best for you.
