Am I a candidate to a Mini or Scarless Tummy Tuck with Lipo? (Photo)

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures, I would advice liposuction alone as you have too much skin and it it does not address the diastasis. A for a mini-tuck it can only address the lower diastasis and would see pooching above the umbilicus. My recommendation would be to do a full tummy tuck and some liposuction on the love handles. The scar can be placed low and there are many great scar treatment strategies available, please seek the opinion of an experienced board certified surgeon to discuss., best of luck.

Your photos suggest that you will achieve improvement with a mini tummy tuck and liposuction, but you would have a better outcome with a standard procedure. The later will allow for a greater skin resection and the ability to tighten or plicate your stomach muscles.

You will definitely need skin excision to maximally rejuvenate your tummy. There is no laser or non-invasive modalities that take care of loose body skin despite the many expensive machines that are offered in the market. Liposuction with a mini-tummy tuck will make a dramatic difference and I would not hesitate to offer. This is done with local tumescent anesthesia and an oral cocktail of pills so you do not have to go asleep, no drains and a very reasonable recovery with return to work in 3-5 days. This is an excellent option for you. Thank you.
