Full VS. Mini Tummy Tuck scar?

Asked By:BLiftFTransfer in Vihtra, Pärnu maakond, Viro

Hi, I'm planning to have a mini tummy tuck, just a little area of loose skin I want removed, not that close to the bellybutton. I'm wondering, will the surgeon go deeper in a full tummy tuck than a mini one where there's no tightening of muscles or moving of the bellybutton, can you just deal with the top layer of the loose skin, and will that make the scar any different, healing any faster? I know a mini scar is a lot shorter than a full one but are they the same other than the length?
