Im a 24 yr old female with no children, i've lost about 75 lbs and am left with loose skin on my abdomen. But i dont think its as bad as other peoples I have seen. My main concern is a scarred belly button, so id rather avoid that and see if i would qualify for the mini tuck. Im also planning a breast lift and arm lift.
Answer: Belly button for tummy tuck One of the most commonly asked questions I received from patients who are considering a tummy tuck is how is their belly button going to come out. It’s important to look at the before and after galleries of any surgeon that you’re considering to make sure that you are happy with their results. Looking at your pictures you have a modern amount of skin lack city, which is actually not bad considering the amazing amount of weight that you’ve lost. You would be sacrificing the quality of the result of your abdomen in order to save the incision at the base of your belly button, which when well is imperceptible. I would strongly recommend considering a full tummy tuck.

Answer: TT Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of excess skin. 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!

Answer: Mini-tummy tuck? It look like you have good skin elasticity with no stretch marks or hang over your belt line. Liposuction will significantly help flatten the lower tummy bulge /- mini-tummy tuck. An in-person exam would help with the decision making. Thank you.

Answer: Comprehensive Assessments and Appropriate Treatments Hello; What needs to be done; should be decided after the consultation. When deciding which one is appropriate, Mini Abdominoplasty or Full Abdominoplasty; whether there is cracked skin in the lower abdomen, if it is very loose and folded in the upper abdomen; whether there is excess skin causing it; criteria gain importance. As it seems, your skin quality; is not in a very good condition. If we assume that; there are no serious cracks in the lower abdomen skin; in this case, the looseness in the upper abdomen skin; is important. If the looseness in the upper abdomen skin is too much and causes for folding; it will not be possible to achieve for sufficient tightening in the upper abdomen skin with mini abdominal stretching. In this case, I recommend for you Lipoabdominoplasty, not mini abdominal stretching. With Lipoabdominoplasty; both excess fat can be removed and a tight abdomen can be obtained. With Lipoabdominoplasty; the amount of surgical scar of mini abdominal stretching is; of course, different. While a surgical scar of approximately 20 cm remains in the lower abdomen in mini abdominal stretching; a surgical scar of approximately 40-45 cm remains in Lipoabdominoplasty.
