Whether a full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck is ideal for you is dependent on your needs and goals. A full tummy tuck addresses sagging skin and loose muscles from the ribcage down, whereas a mini tummy tuck corrects the same issues but addresses the area below the belly button. A good candidate for either procedure is in good health, a non-smoker, at stable body weight, and wants to remove loose abdominal skin and excess fat deposits.
