Answer: Thank you for your question! Given the medical information that you provided because you have had two previous pregnancies, the best option would be a tummy tuck, during pregnancy. The abdominal wall gets distended, and in addition to removing a bit of the excess that is left behind due to it, we would need to do muscle repair, this will definitely give you the best results!

Answer: Belly Concerns After C-Section – Mini or Full Tummy Tuck? At 42, 5’8”, 125 lbs and after 2 kids, it’s common to struggle with loose skin, a bulging belly or a belly button that sticks out (could be a hernia or muscle separation). Likely option are: * Mini Tummy Tuck – small scar, only tightens skin below the belly button.* Full Tummy Tuck – fixes muscles, removes more skin and reshapes the belly button. If your skin and muscles are stretched above and below the navel, a full tummy tuck is usually the best option, even if the scar is longer—it can be placed low and fades over time. But of course, a consultation will be able to tell for sure what will be the most suitable for you. Best wishes, Dr. Erman AK!

Answer: Which procedure Dear Chispita77, 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: TT Thank you for your inquiry! We would love to see you in person or virtually to make sure you would be a great candidate for these procedures. The only difference in a mini vs a full abdominoplasty is how long the incision is. A mini tummy tuck is going to have a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck. Muscle repair, removal of excess skin, and liposuction are all included with both a mini and a full tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!
