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: 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

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Nurturing700365, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Considering options From the submitted photo it appears you would have the best result from a standard tummy tuck. This would address loose skin, excess subcutaneous fat and correct muscle wall laxity. The result would be a flatter, tighter tummy. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
