Full or Mini Tummy Tuck? Scar Tissue Involved (photos)

March 2, 2022
Asked By:mommy5100 in Salt Lake City, Utah

50F. I had lipo on my abdomen 18 years ago which left stiff, rigid scar tissue on upper stomach (above belly button). One doctor told me he can’t get enough skin to pull down because of the tightness the scar tissue has made and recommends a mini tummy tuck. Another said he can do a full tummy tuck, but I will have a vertical scar under the bellybutton, which I don’t mind. Opinions? Experience with doing TT on once lipo’d abs w/ scar tissue? I really want a full Tummy Tuck.
