A mini tummy tuck will only deal with the excess skin below your belly button and not help with the excess skin above it as a full tummy tuck will.  In addition, a regular tummy tuck would allow a repair or tightening of your stomach muscles or rectus diastasis.  This would help with any round mommy tummy or protuberant stomach you have and women are universally happier with the result.
A tummy tuck can be done with rapid recovery so that you are up and around the next day and back to your regular routines in only a couple of days.
