Will I have enough skin for a full tummy tuck? (Photo)

Asked By:brittanys09 in St. Louis, Missouri

My PS told me i can do a mini with no repair or a full. The downside with the full-- he says he cant tell if i will have a vertical scar where my old BB is. I'm 5'9 and feel my torso is pretty long so this terrifies me. I'm having the hardest time deciding what to do. I wish he could just repair the muscle with a mini. I have thin skin where my stretchmarks are but above my bb feels tight, as i can't separate it like i can where my stretch marks are. A ct scan shows muscle separation at my bb
