I'm considering a tummy tuck. I've read a lot and looked at before and after photos. The belly button is what bothers me most about the after photos. My question is would I be recommended for a mini or a full tummy tuck?

Answer: Tummy tuck vs. mini tummy tuck It is difficult to say for sure which procedure would benefit you most just by viewing these photos. A mini tummy tuck works well for a select group of patients who have loose skin concerns isolated to the area below the umbilicus. A full tummy tuck would be recommended if you need your muscle layer tightened and if the loose skin is above and below the umbilicus.Consult a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who has a great deal of experience with tummy tucks and ask to see as many photos of his work as possible. Chose a surgeon who is experienced and with whom you feel comfortable.

Answer: Full tummy tuck It appears that you have a long upper waist and will have enough skin for a full abdominoplasty. A mini does not do as much as you think. I think you should look at the doctors before and afters to see what results you can anticipate. Good Luck!
