21-year-old female who recently lost about 80 lbs - Can I get a mini tummy tuck? (Photos)
I am a 21-year-old female who recently lost about 80 lbs and currently weigh 145 lbs. I have a hanging belly that really bothers me. After losing so much weight, I still don’t feel confident because of the lower hanging part of my stomach. If I didn’t have that, I would love my stomach. I actually like a natural, slightly soft look and have never wanted a super tight or overly flat belly. My only concern is the lower hanging area below my belly button. I do have some loose skin above my belly button as well, but it does not bother me and I am not looking to address that area. I understand that a full tummy tuck may be recommended, but that is not what I want. I only want to address the lower abdomen. I would prefer a mini tummy tuck and want to keep my natural belly button. I also want to avoid an overly tight or “boxy” look. I am also interested in combining a mini tummy tuck with liposuction and possibly skin tightening. Is this something that can realistically be achieved with a mini tummy tuck, given my goals? Are there surgeons who would support this approach rather than pushing for a full tummy tuck? Thank you.
