Hello, Im mom of 2 boys, 5'6 tall and 126 pounds weight. Im considering to have a mini tummy tuck procedure to remove extra skin on my lower belly. Am I a good candidate for mini tummy tuck? How much it will cost and how long I have to be off from work? Thank you

Answer: Considering options Based on your photos you will have the best results from a standard tummy tuck with liposuction for contouring. This would remove excess skin and fat as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy. Typically patients can return to a non physically demanding job 10-14 days after surgery. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Answer: Mini may not be sufficient You may benefit from a mini tummy tuck if you’d only like to target the area below your belly button. However, if you have any excess fat and loose skin above your belly button, this would remain. In your case, a mini tummy tuck may not be sufficient as you could be left with a bulge above your belly button. Generally speaking, patients require about 1-2 weeks off from work following a tummy tuck (or longer if your work is physically strenuous.) In Toronto, where my practice is located, the cost of a mini ranges from $8500+, while a full ranges from $9500+.
