Answer: Would I be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck? 43 y/o with 2 previous pregnancies (photos) A mini TT involves removal of a small amount of skin and fat below the belly button that addresses only the lower portion of the abdomen. No plication or muscle tightening is performed and belly button remains attached and unchanged. This procedure should work for you.

Answer: Mini TT vs Liposuction Alone Based on your pictures, you are likely an excellent candidate for a mini tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck addresses skin laxity below the belly button while a full tummy tuck with muscle plication comprehensively removes excess skin and fat on the entire abdomen while simultaneously tightening your muscles in a "corset-like" fashion. You may want to consider a full tummy tuck for optimal outcomes. However, if your goal is to have a smaller scar, a mini tummy tuck might offer you some significant improvement. A virtual or in person consultation with a TummyTuck specialist will provide you an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully, Brandon Richland, MD

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear achiz758, 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.
