Can I do a mini tummy tuck? Area above belly button bothers me most. I do not want huge scar of tummy tuck.
Answer: How can loose skin & stretch marks above the belly button and a bump & stretch marks under the belly button be fixed? Thank you for your question and series of photographs. Nothing replaces an in-person examination, but I think you would most benefit from a full tummy tuck and liposuction of your waist and flanks. The tummy tuck will tighten your stomach muscles, helping to achieve a flatter appearance, while removing excess skin and adipose tissue. Liposuction can be used to enhance your tummy tuck results by narrowing your waist and removing isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. I would favor the full approach because skin and muscle laxity is present above and below your belly button. Hope that this helps

Answer: Can mini tummy tuck fix loose skin and stretch marks above the belly button? Hello, a mini tummy tuck typically corrects loose skin below the belly button. The length of the scar after either a mini or a full tummy tuck has to do with the extent of the loose skin on your abdomen. For example if a person has loose skin that extends to the sides of the body, even if a mini tummy tuck is performed a long incision will be needed to remove a long strip of excess tissue. On the other hand if a person just has a little bit of overhanging skin above their C-section scar, the mini tummy tuck incision can be short. The difference between a mini versus full tummy tuck has more to do with the extent of surgery on the abdomen rather than just the length of the scar.

Answer: Considering options From your photos you will have the best results from a standard tummy tuck. The mini tummy tuck will only address the area below the belly button. Liposuction can be added for further contouring results. The next step is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: Tummy You could get improvement with just liposuction. However, the full tummy tuck can tighten your weak muscles and give you the flatest look.

Answer: Tummy Tuck During a tummy tuck — also known as abdominoplasty — excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. Connective tissue in the abdomen (fascia) usually is tightened with sutures as well. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a more toned look.

Answer: How can loose skin & stretch marks above the belly button and a bump & stretch marks under the belly button be fixed? (Photos) It is a rare individual in whom the mini TT produces the best result. Would recommend that you consider a short scar TT (The shorter scar it leaves is the same length as that of the mini TT) tightens the muscles, and removes skin and fat. The incision is so low, almost to the level of the leg crease, that bikini underwear and swimsuits may be worn afterwards. It creates a scar which is flat all the way across and is not a smiley face. This way the ends of the scar never rise above low cut clothing. The short scar TT also creates a more youthful belly button.
