Mini Tummy Tuck/Liposuction - best option for me? (photos)

Mini tummy tucks usually address the abdomen from the umbilicus to the pubic area. In my opinion, the best way to get a flat abdomen would be to repair the separation in the muscle all the way to your breast bone (sternum) which most doctors consider as a regular tummy tuck. Just tightening the muscle from the umbilicus down would not give you a good result. When you see your plastic surgeon, make sure you understand what he/she is doing since different doctors may use different names for the same operation. Best of luck.

Based on your photo alone, you appear to have some loose skin above and below your belly button. For this reason, a full tummy tuck would probably be the most suitable option. Liposuction can be performed at the same time to enhance your results.
