Answer: Mini tummy tuck vs Full tummy tuck Most patients benefit from a full tummy tuck- tightening the muscles with redraping and resecting all the excess skin and tissue. To do a full abdominoplasty the incision goes hip to hip and there is an incision around the belly button.A mini tummy tuck is for patients with a little to moderate excess skin just below the umbilicus with good muscle tone. The incision length is still longer than most c- sections.

Answer: Diifference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck. Thank you for your question. Of course, an exam would be needed to make a final determination. It looks like you would be a good candidate for a traditional tummy tuck. At that time, the rectus muscles can be sewn back together, (plicated). Mini tummy tucks are usually reserved for those with extra skin between the umbilicus and pubis. The loose skin is trimmed off. These patients are usually quite thin. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Together you will come up with a plan.

Answer: Mini vs full tummy tuck A full tummy tuck is most common and addresses the entire abdomen.A mini tummy tuck by definition treats below the belly button but some physicians also describe small skin removal as a mini tummy tuck so it gets confusing.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Tummy Tuck vs. Mini-Tummy-Tuck First, please see the attached video to help to better understand the anatomy involved.Next, the aware that the vast majority of patients benefit much more from a full tummy tuck.A mini tuckcan only address the lower half of the abdomen. It does not address the separation of muscles above the abdomen, loose skin above the abdomen, and generally has results which are much less dramatic. That is not to say that it is appropriate in some patients. However, this can only be determined by a board certified plastic surgeon. I would recommend you have and in person sit down with a board certified plastic surgeon and he or she can very personally explain to the difference and describe whether or not this is an appropriate option for you. Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Answer: Mini versus full tummy tuck A mini just removes a small amount of skin below the belly button and minimal muscle tightening. A full tummy tuck removes a lot more skin and tightens the muscles along the entire abdominal wall.Good luck!
