Answer: Mini Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, I look awful! I am sorry to hear about your concerns after tummy tuck surgery. Unfortunately, online consultants will not be your best source for reassurance; I would suggest that you communicate your questions/concerns directly with your plastic surgeon. Hopefully, he/she can show you some examples of what you may look like longer-term. Hopefully, with ongoing healing and resolution of swelling, skin redraping etc., you will be pleased with the longer-term outcome of the procedure performed. Best wishes.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck versus full tummy tuck Sorry to hear about your concerns. In our practice, mini tummy tucks are very, very rare. It takes the right patient anatomy and that usually happens only in a very small percentage of patients. Patients gravitate to the term "mini tummy tuck" because they like the idea of a smaller incision. You can see many patients on this forum who have regretted mini tummy tucks when they needed a full tummy tuck. When one is unhappy with the results, it can be helpful to get a second opinion. Also, wait at least 6 months from your original surgery before having any secondary surgery.
