I am 135 lbs. two previous pregnancies. My normal weight is 115-125. I have some loose skin but it’s not enough for me to want a full tummy tuck with the large scar. Can I get away with a mini tummy tuck or is there another procedure to combat the wrinkled skin?

Answer: Depends on skin laxity It is difficult to assess your skin quality in the photo provided. A full tummy tuck is recommended if there is skin laxity above the belly button. A mini tummy tuck will only target the area below the belly button.

Answer: TT Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of any excess or wrinkled skin. The only difference in a mini vs a full abdominoplasty is how long the incision is. A mini tummy tuck is going to have a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck. Muscle repair, removal of excess skin, and liposuction are all included with both a mini and a full tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!
