Full vs. Mini Tummy tuck Hi. I had lost weight in the past and was left with small pouch of loose skin and fat around my belly area. I had undergone 10+ radiofrequency skin tightening sessions with minimal results. Am I a good candidate for tummy tuck and if so, would mini-tummy tuck suffice in order to flatten my stomach area and remove the pouch? Many thanks.
Answer: Mini tummy tuck versus full tummy tuck If the only thing that bothers you is the skin roll, then a mini tummy tuck will get rid of it. It seems that you have good muscle tone and no excess skin above your belly button. A tummy tuck if you haven't had kids, loose skin above your belly button and muscle separation, is not indicated.

Answer: Abdomen If you are content with your upper abdomen, just do the mini tuck. This will remove the lower pouch and can tighten the lower muscles as well.

Answer: Mini versus Standard Abdominoplasty From your photos it appears the majority of your skin laxity is below the belly button. A mini tummy tuck addresses the skin and fat below the belly button but does not address the upper abdomen. A full (or standard) tummy tuck allows your surgeon to address fat and skin excess above the belly button as well as correct any rectus diastases (muscle separation) that may be present. I've included a link which discusses the different procedures at length.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck You are a good candidate for liposuction with a mini-tummy tuck. Liposuction alone will likely not completely flatten that area. This can be done with a light oral sedation, local tumescent anesthesia with no drains. I would not hesitate to proceed.

Answer: Considering options From the posted photos it appears you will have improvement with a mini tummy tuck. This will remove the excess fullness below the belly button. It will not address any loose skin above the belly button. An in person evaluation is needed to determine if you have muscle separation above the belly button. If so, then a full tuck would be recommended. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.
