I want to avoid a drastic procedure such as a full tummy tuck by doing a mini tuck instead along with liposuction and renuvion. Somewhat similar to what Airsculpt elite body sculpture offers. I want to keep my belly button intact. I know it wont give me the same flat results as a full TT, but will it be an improvement from what I currently have? Can the incision sit low above the pubic line and be short? Or will it look deformed since not all the loose skin is pulled down like in a full TT?
Answer: Abdominoplasty Thank you for your inquiry! By your photos, it looks like you would be a great candidate for an abdominoplasty to get rid of excess skin. The only difference in a mini vs a full abdominoplasty is how long the incision is. A mini tummy tuck is going to have a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck. Muscle repair, removal of excess skin, and liposuction are all included with both a mini and a full tummy tuck. I recommend scheduling a consult appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself so we can create a surgical plan that is best for you and your goals!

Answer: Mini-tummy tuck? Given your photos and expectations, liposuction with a mini-tummy tuck will make a dramatic difference and I would not hesitate to offer. This is done with local tumescent anesthesia and an oral cocktail of pills so you do not have to go asleep, no drains and a very reasonable recovery with return to work in 3-5 days. This is an excellent option for you. Thank you.
