A full tummy tuck is very scary to me. Could I be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck with the incision in my pubic? Biggest concerns is stretch marks. But I'm also not fond of the "new" belly button look. Second concern is the folds and pouch. I'm looking for what will give me optimal results with the least amount of recover time.

Answer: Would I be a candidate for mini tummy tuck? Can incisions be made in pubic area? You will achieve some improvement with a "mini" tummy tuck, but substantially greater results with a standard procedure. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. After examining you, he or she can provide information on outcomes you can expect from various procedures. They can then guide you through the process to select the best procedure specifically for you.

Answer: Considering procedures If you are truly wanting the optimal results you will want to consider the standard tummy tuck. This will best address the skin laxity, stretch marks, and abdominal wall. The result will be a tighter, flatter abdomen. A mini tummy tuck will give you some improvement but it will not be the same as a standard tuck.
