Hi! I’m a mom of 2, have some minor skin excess on my lower belly and minor muscle separation on the lower belly too. I’m looking for a more athletic yet subtle look. I have some abs, I’m healthy and I’m on my ideal weight. 116lbs/5’2. I’m however, not comfortable with an incision from hip to hip. Are there other less evasive solutions for me -all things considered? Thank you!
Answer: Considering options Based on your muscle separation a tummy tuck is recommended for you. This would involve removing excess fat and skin as well as repairing abdominal wall laxity. Less invasive procedures may tighten skin and/or remove fat but they cannot address the diastasis of your abdomen. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your desired results and learn more about your options.

Answer: Tummy tuck - opinion please I think either 3D liposuction with InMode BodyTite or a "Mini" Tummy tuck may be great options for you! Obviously the full you will get a really, really tight tummy however your pictures and description make it seem like less aggressive options should be considered. Time for a in person consultation with someone board certified in Plastic Surgery!

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear rettedgui, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Mini Tummy Tuck Hello again dear, I see that you are having a hard time about your tummy tuck surgery considering this is the second question you've asked. It is remarkable that you want to search, ask questions and make sure you have a clear mind before taking action on your surgery I would like to stress the fact that you need a mini tummy tuck rather than a full one according to these pictures. But it is always best to have a virtual meeting, I believe having an online consultation with the doctor of your choice would help a lot to ease your mind. Please make sure you have a couple of opinions from variety of doctors before going ahead with the surgery. I am attaching my first answer below just to make sure you can read these through. Have a great day darling. I would advise you to lose the weight first, and then have the tummy tuck operation. This will allow you to put things in order on your journey to perfect body since doing the tummy tuck whilst you are at your ideal weight will prevent any excess skin after tummy tuck that's caused by the weight loss. Considering the fact that you are not a large patient and the loose skin doesn't go all the way around your abdominal region, mini tummy tuck is the best option for you. Your scar isn'n going to be too long which is another plus side of having mini TT.
