Posted under Mini Tummy Tuck q&a

Does a Mini Tummy Tuck always include muscle repair? Are the love handles, flanks and hips all the same thing in terms of lipo?

I have surgery scheduled for this coming Thursday with a very good doctor in my area, but I'm just now thinking of questions that I should have asked him at my 1st consultation. I am wondering if a mini tummy tuck always includes muscle repair below the belly button? We disscussed a few things. My consent form says it does, but I'm worried that I may remember him saying that it doesn't? I'm worried because I've already paid. Is it to late to make sure I'm getting them repaired?
