The lipo+revision was presented as removal of the c-section scar and some skin below the BB. The mini TT was not discussed, but seems to involve removal of skin below the BB. What's the difference between these two? Why would a patient be offered lipo+revision or full TT only (and not the mini)? Pt is 5'4, 160#
Answer: Liposuction and TT It is very difficult to answer your question without photos or in person evaluation. You have to understand that different plastic surgeons may have different approach to solve same problem. Liposuction and TT are frequently performed tougether to augment result. Revision of "C section" scar may be very slose to mini abdominoplasty, depending how extensive skin resection and manipulation of BB is planned. You should go back to your surgeon(s) and discuss issues in more depth or ask for another consultation. Hope this helps.

Answer: Scar revision and lipo vs abdominoplasty I need photos to give an accurate assessment. In general, the decision depends on physical exam findings including the amount of excess skin, excess fat, and whether or not there is a rectus diastasis.

Answer: Considering options The correct recommendation depends on the outcome of the physical exam and discussion of the patient's goals. Liposuction and scar revision would be for a patient with good skin elasticity, minimal to no excess skin, no muscle separation and simply a stubborn pocket of fat. A mini tuck is for those who have concerns of excess skin and/or muscle separation of the lower abdomen but not above the belly button. A standard tummy tuck is for those with concerns both above and below the belly button. I've included a video discussing the mini tummy tuck that I hope you find helpful.
