I read up reviews about mini tummy tuck & am really confused. Some doctors say that a mini tummy tuck WILL NOT address the muscle above the belly button while i read some doctors saying that a full muscle repair would be done. What is the definition of a full muscle repair ? & why is it some doctors say that the muscles above the belly button will not be addressed in a mini Tummy Tuck ? in a mini tummy tuck, will the doctors be able to sew up the muscles above the belly button ?

Answer: Tummy Tuck options Hello,You will need to be examined in person to determine your options and expectations. A full Tummy Tuck will allow for excess skin removal, full abdominal muscle repair and often, supplementary liposuction to help contour the abdomen. A mini tummy Tuck may be appropriate for you with muscle repair below the belly button if needed. A floating Abdominoplasty technique can allow for detaching the belly button temporarily and moving it downward slightly, while repairing muscle further up on the abdomen. I recommend that you talk with your chosen Plastic Surgeon about the details of the surgical plan for you. All the best

Answer: Muscle repair with mini TT Hello, typically with a mini tummy tuck, a full muscle repair above the belly button is not performed, but with some variations of this operation it is possible. You would need to speak to your surgeon about the exact details of the procedure.
