Will a mini tummy tuck (with existing upper abdominal scar) suffice? (Photos)

In my experience, you do not to have lax skin or muscle to warrant a tummy tuck.Also, that high scar limits the tummy tuck due to skin blood supply disruptions.  That high scar will remain as well.You appear to have great skin and muscle tone, so I don’t see how a tummy tuck would add to results.Rather, Vaser of full abdomen will remove stubborn fat including the area between your scars, making them less noticeable.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon who performs these procedures is recommended to confirm you are a candidate as well as discuss your options and expectations. 

Due to the location of the higher scar, a minituck will be safer to avoid circulation issues to skin between the scar and belly button. Liposuction can be helpful to remove any excess skin.

A full tummy tuck carries some risk due to the upper abdominal scar. A mini would only help the lower abdomen. Consider liposuction, with subcision of the scar and fat grafting to elevate it. It sounds like your surgeon may have hit on the best plan.
