I recently had 3 consultants for a tummy tuck. I had 3 children all c sections. Im pretty fit and weigh 116lbs. One recommended a mini w lipo and flanks, muscle repair below belly button. One recommended full tuck full repair lipo including flanks One recommended full tuck, leaving a smal vertical scar fr existing belly button, lipo and flanks or just doing lipo only (safe lipo) So confused How do you think id look w a mini or just lipo
Answer: Abdomen I would suggest starting with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks. Even if you choose a tuck later, you will still have flatter results since the excess fat will be removed. If you do not want the scar from the tuck, consider EMSculpt to help tighten your abdominal muscles.

Answer: Choosing Between Full Tummy Tuck, Mini Tummy Tuck, or Abdominal Liposuction Thank you for your question regarding whether a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck, or abdominal liposuction would best suit your needs. Please remember that plastic surgery is an art, not an exact science, and the best method for achieving optimal results can vary greatly depending on the patient's anatomy and the surgeon's expertise.

Answer: Considering options An in person evaluation is always best, but based on the photos and information given a standard tummy tuck with a little lipo for contouring would give you a nice result. Typically after having three children muscle repair is needed both above and below the belly button, which would be addressed with the standard tuck. I've included a video on the mini tuck that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Full tummy tuck Thank you for your question. Looking at the photos you have provided I would recommend a fully tummy tuck with a bit of liposuction on the love handle area. Most patients after a c section and after multiple children would need a tummy tuck to help repair the diastasis of the abdominal wall muscles. If you chose to do a mini tummy tuck and didn't repair the muscles above the belly button I would be nervous that you may look like you are bulging up on top. You may end up with a small vertical incision from the incision around the belly button, but they typically heal very nicely. I would suggest speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discussing your options, concerns and goals. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Full Tummy Tuck, mini or just liposuction - how do you think I'd look? Hello @betterboobsforme, thank you for your question. thank you for your question and showing your pictures. Ideally, a patient should undergo a personalized consultation with a surgeon, during which a surgical plan tailored to the patient's expectations will be presented. That said, from your pictures an option can be a mini tummy tuck modified lipectomy that leaves a small scar and improve all aspects of your appearance. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD.
