I've been struggling with what to do with my tummy skin laxity since I had children. It was recommended that I do a mini tummy tuck with umbilical float. Do you think that is the right choice?

Answer: Is a mini tummy tuck with umbilical float the right choice? Thank you for your question and photos. These were taken with your arms up, putting the abdominal skin on maximum tension, thus difficult to assess your skin laxity. You are a good candidate for a modified full tummy tuck via a small pubic incision, but I would not float the umbilicus. I would do a muscle repair and not just skin excision. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.
