Can I get a skin only tummy tuck?

Without looking at your photos and a physical exam, it is hard to tell whether or not you could benefit from a mini tummy tuck which you are referring to. If you have a "pooch" or protruding stomach, you most likely have muscle separation caused by pregnancy. This cannot be addressed with a mini tummy tuck.  A full tummy tuck involves the removal of excess skin and fat as well as repair of the stomach muscles so that you achieve a flat stomach. I advise that you seek a consultation appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has had experience doing many tummy tucks in their practice. Good luck with your decision!

Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on
this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without seeing photos and more importantly without examining you, physically feeling the tissue,
assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing
the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest.
I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
