Posted to More Pronounced Stretch Marks Around Belly Button After a Mini Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair on 17 Dec 2009

Your photos confirm my original impression. You always needed and still need a full tummy tuck, which should dramatically improve the appearance around and above your belly button. Best of luck. George Beraka, MD

Many mini tummy tuck patients end up unhappy. It's done too often just because it sounds less scary. We have done full tummy tucks on a number of patients who had previous "minis", and there is usually big improvement. The remaining skin is redraped.

Thermage has a mixed reputation because a machine is only as good as the person using it. In New York, we have a lot of happy patients who have had Thermage. We select patients properly, we educate them so they have realistic expectations, we use meticulous technique, and we use large treatment heads (more expensive) which deliver sufficient energy (900 pulses). Thermage is very safe, and there is no anesthesia, no scar, and no down time.
