I’m a 38 yo mom of 3, youngest is 2. I exercise 4-5 x week, cardio, strength, pilates and follow a healthy diet working with a nutritionist. I can’t seem to tighten my abdomen this time around and the linea nigra hasn’t gone away. I’ve had a few consultations and they all agree I have a mild umbilical hernia and mild diastasis recti around the belly button. Recommendations vary from lipo to mini to full TT. Concerns are scars, belly button and natural look. What would you recommend and why?

Answer: Lipo or Tummy Tuck? Hello @Tasteful808683, Thank you for your question. Thank you for your question. 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 improves all aspects of the appearance. A tummy tuck can treat different aspects. There are 4 factors that are considered when it comes to the abdomen shape: Lax skin, diastasis recti, fat under the skin and intra abdominal fat. The first two are treated with a tummy tuck and the latter with lipolysis made with liposuction. It is important that you have a consultation with a board certified specialist to determine a surgical plan according to your needs. I link a video to shed more light. 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.

Thanks to a cannula with a high vibration frequency, the fat becomes liquid, making it easier to extract and eliminate. It is an ideal technique to sculpt the desired area, or Tummy tuck, In order to repair inside and obtain better results, it is necessary. In any case, a physical or at least virtual consultation is vital to achieve an objective based on your personal goals and based on the reality we have.

Answer: Lipo + TT Hello, thanks for your question and photos. Remember that you must have an in-person consult before making a decision. You may need both procedures, Liposuction to eliminate de body fat in your belly and around your waist, and Tummy Tuck to extract saggy skin and repair the area. Consult a plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

Answer: Lipo vs Tummy tuck There are specific requirements for just doing lipo vs lipo + mini tummy tuck vs lipo + tummy tuck. The main thing is if there is an abdominal wall muscle weakness or diastasis recti those to require an internal corset that is done with a mini or traditional tummy tuck so we can rule out the Lipo alone. Then by looking at your photos and in my experience I would recommend a traditional tummy tuck because if you do a mini, the scar is shorter but then you have to do just a repositiong of the belly button that tends to lower it and you can’t do a tailoring of it. On the other hand with a traditional tummy tuck you do have a longer scar but less risks of having dog ears, you can tailor the belly button to have a rounder shape and keep it where it actually is.
