I'm going in for a mini tummy tuck in a few days. I'm 5'4, 112 pounds, and I want a less invasive surgery. Will a mini be less risky than that of a full tummy tuck and achieve good results? Are blood clots less likely? Also, I don't want my upper abdomen to bulge. Thanks!

Answer: Mini tuck versus full abdominoplasty Mini-tuck is a less invasive and shorter procedure than the full abdominoplasty and, therefore, would be considered less lucky to produce surgical or anesthesia based complications. Without an examination, it is difficult to assess whether you would benefit from a mini-tuck as opposed to liposuction alone. This is certainly an issue to be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Mini or full tummy tuck
From the single photos you look very good. An exam in person may show me a different picture, but if you have just some fullness because oif subcutaneous fat, then I would probably stick with lipo.
