Surgeon pushed for full tummy tuck. Is this wrong? (Photo)

Thank you for your question.
In my opinion, a mini abdominoplasty will give you the best results. This procedure does as you described by correcting the muscles and eliminating the excess skin leaving you with a smooth, flatter contour. I recommend speaking with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns.

A full tummy tuck is recommended for patients with loose skin, excess fat and/or abdominal muscle separation in the above the belly button. While you don’t appear to have much excess fat, you do appear to have some loose skin above your belly button. That is why your surgeon may have recommended a full tummy tuck. However, you can always seek the opinion of another surgeon.
