Am I a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck to remove extra skin on my lower belly? (Photo)

Yes, you would probably do very well with the mini tuck to remove the excess skin and tighten your lower muscle. You did not state what kind of work you do, but for a desk job, you will need one to two weeks off.

Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of any 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!

Hello @MyBodyShape thank you for your question and showing your pictures. It's important to make a personalized appointment to create an adequate surgical plan, not only according to your expectations but also to the clinical proposal. That's the first thing to be considered. Having said that the excess skin and abdominal diastasis can be improved in a lipectomy with abdominal plication. Using high technology not only decreases the risks but also the time of incapacity. . For more information and recommendations it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
