8 mo postpartum with my 2nd, both c-sections - mini tuck vs. full? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! This type of surgery is determined by the amount of abdominal skin laxity you have. This is hard to determine by photos. We would love to sit down with you and discuss your options. Schedule an appointment with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

It is difficult to tell from a single photo, but this would be best improved with a traditional tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck will inadequately address the bulging above the umbilicus, leading to poor results. The length of the scar from hip to hip is dependent on the amount of skin to be removed. A frontal photo would help to determine the quality of the abdominal tissues and the anticipated amount of skin that can be removed.

Dear ascend,
based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
