Is It Possible to Combine a Tubal Ligation with a Mini-tummy Tuck or Do I Have to Have a Full Tummy Tuck?

nje123
I would like to get a tubal ligation, preferably where tubes are burned or tied/clipped instead of using the method where coils are inserted into the tubes. However, I am also considering a mini tummy tuck - only if I am determined to be a good candidate. Is it possible to combine with a surgical tubal ligation with a mini-tummy tuck or do I have to have a full tummy tuck to get both? My issue is scarring severity and placement associated with a full tummy-tuck.
