Does anyone know of alternatives to the usual tummy tuck procedure? I have a small area of skin on my tummy that's less than elastic. In general it barely shows but if I bend over it tends to "sag" to a degree. I don't think any of it is bad enough to warrant an actual tummy tuck as the skin affected is small in size and the underlying muscle layer is intact and doesn't require tightening. I've lost some weight (10lbs) which makes it a tad more apparent and i'm balking at losing another 5-10lbs because I know it'll just make it worse.
I've heard of a mini tuck but can't seem to find anything that says that it's really much different than the usual tuck? I'm basically trying to find an alternative that will tighten the skin without leaving me with a big ole scar...
ps - I eat well, am very active, have good muscle tone and have been taking Tonalin for months now, etc, so i'm thinking some type of cosmetic procedure is my only remaining option...
