Age 50, three pregancies of large babies and after weight loss with stability I am finally ready to address this issue. I would like to know if I would be eligible for a less invasive tummy tuck (without muscle repair) and perhaps in office under local as I do not like general anesthesia. I am concerned it won’t be enough to take care of the saggy skin above belly button.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Shutterbug42, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Considering options From the photo submitted a standard tummy tuck will be needed. A mini will not address the skin issues above the belly button. You can elect to have the procedure with or without diastasis repair. General anesthesia is recommended for this procedure for both your comfort and safety.
