Should I get mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck after liposuction I had last year? (Photo)

If you are only concerned about the area below your belly button, then a mini tummy tuck may be sufficient.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! Based on the submitted photos it appears a standard tummy tuck will give you the best result. This will address excess fat, skin, and will correct abdominal wall laxity. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Thanks so much for your question

The decision between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck depends on your specific needs, goals, and the extent of correction required. Both procedures address concerns related to the abdominal area, but they have differences in terms of the targeted area, incision size, and the extent of tissue manipulation

If your concerns are primarily located below the belly button and involve minimal excess skin and muscle laxity, a mini tummy tuck may be sufficient. If you have concerns across the entire abdominal area, including above the belly button, a full tummy tuck might be more appropriate.

Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific goals and receive personalized recommendations based on your anatomy and desired outcomes. They will be able to assess your abdominal area, discuss your expectations, and guide you toward the most suitable option for your needs.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol
