Mini Tummy Tuck for Hourglass Shape?
In all pictures that I've seen taken after a tummy tuck is performed, the tummy shape doesn't look pretty to me. I've been told twice to get the flatness I want I would benefit from a mini tummy tuck. I'm nervous because I want that pretty hourglass shape that I never see in a tummy tuck end result picture. Is it not possible? P.s. I'm 28 with no kids and don't plan to have any.

The rectus abdominis muscles, prior to pregnancy, are lined up immediately side-by-side. Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which...

Tummy Tucks don't really provide an "Hour Glass" shape
Tummy tucks are performed to remove excess skin. They really don't give that "Hour Glass" shape that you are seeking. They tighten skin, and muscles if needed and flatten the abdomen. It is Liposuction that improves your shape. Liposuction is performed to remove excess fat from under your skin and improve your shape.

Mini Tummy Tuck
Liposuction on the flanks will help with the hourglass shape and only if you have loose skin below your BB will the mini tummy tuck help you. We do mini TT and people are very happy with the results, but not all are a candidate for this procedure. For those who are, they do well.

Body Contouring to have hour glass shape
A current photo would be very helpful to determine whether you are a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck only involves work done to the muscles and skin below the belly button area. Ultimately, it is best to discuss your overall goals with your surgeon in person to decide what your best and safest option is. Explain to him/her your goals (and definition) of “hour glass figure”. You may be a good candidate for liposuction to help improve body contours. Since...

Tummy tuck body shaping issues
The hour glass figure that you refer to is mostly based on the torso and pelvic musculoskeletal anatomy for each patient. Liposuction can emphasize 'waist suppression' to give the illusion of an hour-glass figure. A tummy tuck cannot create this shaping.
