A full tummy tuck is a more extensive procedure than a mini tummy tuck. This abdominal surgery requires a longer incision – from hip to hip. The procedure includes repairing the abdominal muscles, removing excess skin and re-adjusting the remaining skin to fit the belly button. A full tummy tuck is often pursued by women who have given birth or by patients who have lost a moderate amount of weight. A mini tummy tuck on the other hand, requires a small linear incision through which excess skin is removed and abdominal muscles are tightened.
