Hello, I gave birth to my only son February 2023. I am not having any more children. I am considering a mini tummy tuck to correct the c section shelf that I have now. Based on the photos is this a good idea or are there other procedures I should explore? I am 39 years old and have maintained my weight for the last year.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck A mini tummy tuck may eliminate the bulging in your lower midsection, however it will leave you with bulging in the area above your belly button. So, a full tummy tuck may be more suitable for you.

Answer: What are the best C section shelf treatment options for me? Based on your photos, you need a full tummy tuck to reverse the changes you have experienced from pregnancy. This includes muscle tightening and removal of excess skin and fat. Anything less will give a compromised result. See an experienced plastic surgeon. It will be well worth it.

Answer: Considering options From the submitted photos a standard tummy tuck is recommended. This would address the abdominal wall laxity both above and below the belly button as well as remove subcutaneous fat, excess skin, and many of the stretch marks. The mini tummy tuck would not give the best results for you. The next step is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.
