I have loose skin below the belly button and my stomach sticks out. My PS is recommending a mini Tummy Tuck with lowering the belly button by 1 to 2 inches and tightening my whole stomach muscles. Does lowering the belly button have any side effects and is it going to look unnatural?

Answer: A mini-tummy tuck is, in most cases, a lousy operation.

Answer: It is likely better to have a full TT Mini TT will slightly lower your belly button, since it is being pulled down from the surgery. It is likely best for you to have a full TT. However, since you did not provide a picture, it is very difficult for us to give you specific advice. Also, if you only have a mini TT, then I doubt that you surgeon is "tightening [your] whole stomach muscles." The incision is the same as the full TT, so I often wonder why patients and surgeons are so obsessed with "mini TT." Unless, they are just misinformed?
