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: Enhanced mini- abdominoplasty with liposuction and Renuvion Hi Victoria, For a subset of patients with more skin laxity and excess in the lower abdomen than the upper, a mini tummy tuck can be a great alternative with a shorter scar and quicker recovery. Results can be further enhanced with sculpting liposuction combined with tightening of the remaining abdominal skin using a radiofrequency energy device such as Renuvion (J-Plasma). While the results will not be quite the same as a full tummy tuck, the procedure can provide great enhancement and deliver a smooth abdominal silhouette when performed properly in the right patient.

Answer: Mini vs. Full Tuck Thanks for your question and the photos you provided. If you want a mini tuck, you will sacrifice loose skin to the upper abdomen that may hood over your belly button. This can happen after liposuction. Since your natural belly button will obscured, you might as well get the full tummy tuck as recommended. Good luck! Make sure you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.
