Whats the difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tt?

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

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!
