Ive had three pregnancies, and Lipo 5 years ago. Since then I've lost about 30 pounds. I have extra skin below the belly button and would like to know if I'm a candidate for a mini or full TT? Perhaps a couple sessions of Morpheus8?
Answer: Thank you for your question! Yes, a Tummy Tuck would definitely benefit you once you’re able to send more pictures or even a video to better see the condition of the skin that would help determine the type of Tummy Tuck that you need, that will help determine to avoid dog ears or any residual skin past the incision, but especially with weight loss most likely it could be a semi circular or extended.

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 excess 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!

Answer: Abdomen The Morpheus is helpful to treat stretch marks. Renuvion could be done at the same time to help tighten skin, or consider the mini-tuck.

Answer: The best option for you! Hello Liposuction has been performed on the abdomen with an indication that is not suitable for loose and stretch-marked skin. As a result, there is indentation and skin laxity in the lower abdomen. Normally, a tummy tuck allows for the loose skin in the upper abdomen to be addressed. However, after liposuction, the looseness in the upper abdomen has decreased, so a full tummy tuck is currently not an option. Unfortunately, a mini tummy tuck will not yield good results either. I would recommend waiting until loose skin forms in the upper abdomen for a tummy tuck, or gaining weight.

Answer: Extra skin below belly button after 3 pregnancies and weight loss - Mini TT, Morpheus8, or full TT? Exellent question. It seems like a mini TT would be Best because you do not have much excesos skin abone the Nelly button but also because your belly button is high. Plus looks like you have tio much excess skin for Morpheus. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota
