Interested in having a mini tummy tuck, I desire a straight line scar, very low. Is it possible based off my stomach loose skin to obtain a straight horizontal line? I do not want a curved scar that looks like a smiley face. Thank you.
Answer: Straight line mini tummy tuck Dear MrH18, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Thank you for your question. Unfortunate there are no pictures. A mini scar tummy tuck (which I helped to pioneer) suctions out fat and tightens tummy muscle through a small incision low in the tummy. This is good for patients who have good quality skin tone. Patients who have loose tummy skin would not be a good candidate for this procedure. You would need a physical exam by a board certified plastic surgeon in order to determine if you would be a good candidate for this procedure. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck Dear MrH18, Thank you for your question. To answer your question I recommend you being seen and examined by a board certified plastic surgeon. Each patient is different and it will depend on how much loose skin do you have and where on your abdomen. If your skin is also loose above your belly button, you may not be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck. It all depends on your physical exam to develop a surgical plan for you. During the consultation the surgeon can review what he or she would recommend to give you the best outcome possible. Best wishes, Franziska Huettner

Answer: Is it possible for me to get a straight line mini tummy tuck? It is usually possible to create a scar which is flat all the way across and is not a smiley face. This way the ends of the scar never rise above low cut clothing. In addition, though healing is never entirely predictable, many patients have commented that the scar is not only low but the limbs are perfectly symmetric and straight. An in-office exam would be required to verify whether the straight line is appropriate for your anatomy.
