No diastasis recti but some sagging under my belly button (middle only). Do I qualify for a 15 cm mini tummy tuck? (Photos)

Yes! You are definitely a good candidate. A mini tummy tuck is certainly a good option. The length of the scar is determined not only by the technique and surgeon’s skill, but also the amount of excess skin. That said, it seems like you don not have that much excess skin as 15cm or less is very doable. As for the breasts, I recommend 250-300cc silicone gel implants… no lift necessary!

Best of luck,
Dr. Mota

I encourage you to begin by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation. During this important meeting you'll discuss your concerns and goals for surgery. In addition you'll learn about the procedures and what you can expect in terms of results. From the photos you appear to be a good candidate for a conservative breast augmentation. It doesn't appear a lift is needed. For the tummy tuck you can consider the mini. Your surgeon will be able to approximate the length of the scar during a consultation. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

You may be an excellent candidate for a mini tummy tuck. The small fold on the lower abdomen can be resected through the small incision. You may also benefit from an umbilicoplasty. This is where excess skin of the umbilicus can be removed. In terms of your breasts, each 100 cc of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. From this, you can determine the volume required to achieve your desired goal.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello, thank you so much for sharing your pictures and explaining your wishes so clearly. After looking at your photos, I can see that you have very good skin quality, some breast volume loss, and a little sagging in the lower part of your tummy.
For your breasts, implants around 275–300 cc should be just right, and you don’t need a lift. As for your tummy, you are a great candidate for a mini abdominoplasty. The only thing I can’t say for sure is exactly how long your scar will be. I understand this is an important concern for you, and your surgeon will do everything possible to keep the scar short. From my experience, it will definitely be shorter than the scar from a full abdominoplasty.
Still, I’d like to point out that the quality of the scar matters more than the length. A scar that is a little longer but smooth and neat always looks better than a shorter one that ends up crumpled or uneven. With your good skin quality, I believe you will have a very nice healing process and a beautiful outcome overall.

Hello, thank you for sharing your case. It seems that, considering you don't have diastasis recti and the sagging is limited to a small area below the navel, a tummy tuck, not even a mini one, wouldn't be necessary. In your case, VASER-assisted high-definition liposuction would be an excellent option.

VASER uses ultrasound to selectively dissolve fat much more precisely than traditional liposuction. This allows for a more sculpted silhouette, more effective skin tightening, and a firmer abdomen, without the need for large incisions or scarring.

Additionally, since you have a slim and toned build (you are 5'11" and weigh 110 lbs), the results can be very natural and striking, highlighting your feminine shape without changing your body proportions.

Regarding breast augmentation, if your goal is to regain a full, natural A-cup breast, you could likely consider silicone implants between 180 and 250 cc, with a moderate profile, which would respect your petite frame and give you a harmonious result.

With this minimally invasive approach (VASER lipo + breast augmentation), you can achieve a complete transformation with minimal scarring, a quick recovery, and highly aesthetic results. You can contact us at 829-554-6062 for a quote.
