Consultant said I didn't have enough skin for a full tummy tuck so advised mini, I'm left with a wobbly fat area above the scar, I can't believe this is a good result!

Answer: Mini tummy tuck Please post before pics. Most women are not candidates for a mini tummy tuck and it looks like you may have been a candidate for a traditional tummy tuck and liposuction.

Answer: #MiniTummyTuck #TummyTuck - disappointed with my mini tummy tuck I'm sorry for the experience you've had.Many fewer women are good candidates for a mini (or moderate) tummy tuck than those who wish they were. The mini/modified TT is an excellent procedure - but only for women who are basically happy with the way their abdomens look ABOVE the BB but have some excess or loose skin limited to the region below the BB. Some lipo can be done above the BB with the mini, but there is a limit to what that can accomplish.Based on your current photo, and with the understanding that one would have to see a pre-op photo to provided a knowledgeable discussion, it seems like you might have benefitted from the full TT. And that, unfortunately, you do not now have enough excess tissue to do that procedure. Some lipo may help your contour and you can, possibly, have more surgery done in the future.However, you'll need to discuss this with your own PS and to see what the options may be.Sorry...but I hope that this has helped and good luck,Dr. Alan EnglerMember of RealSelf100
