I had a mini TT 6 months ago and from the very beginning I felt there was to much skin remaining. I was told to give it time and now this is what I’m left with. I feel I need a full TT to correct this and was looking for advice and a doctor. I will also need breast revision at the same time.

Answer: Never a candidate for a mini tuck The only way to get the result you want is with a full abdominoplasty. There is an issue though; it appears that along with the mini tuck you got liposuction. Depending on how you healed, you may have excessive internal scar tissue that will need to be divided during the revision surgery. This puts you at risk for inadequate circulation to the skin being tightened. I have a lot of experience with this situation, and I can tell you a protocol of hyperbaric oxygen should be employed for both the night before and immediately after the surgery to raise oxygen levels in the tissues until your own circulatory system equilibrates. Hyperbaric oxygen should be administered daily for the next 3 to 5 days as well. As an aside, the surgeon should place a low incision that would excise a lot of the skin with the paw print tattoos.

Answer: Tummy tuck Mini tummy tucks are often dissappointing. It also looks like you may have had liposuction previously, a full tummy tuck is needed to get the best result
