Can You Get a Mini Tummy Tuck Without a Huge Scar? (photo)

It is difficult to give you a definite answer based on these two pictures. First of all, you look very fit to begin with. You could consider a mini tummy tuck without a very extensive scar along with possible muscle tightening.The scar will depend on the amount of loose skin laterally (toward your sides) but is smaller than a full tummy tuck scar. The mini tuck would also tighten your muscles and remove and tighten some loose skin below the belly button. It would be easier to give you a more informative opinion if you were seen in the office. Good Luck with your decision!
