Who is a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck?

General requirements for any candidate for surgery are that they are generally in good health and in good physical condition, do not smoke and, if they suffer from diabetes, they have the condition under control. It is also important to have realistic expectations and to have a stable and, in the candidate’s opinion, an ideal body weight. A tummy tuck candidate may have medical reasons for the surgery or just purely an aesthetic reason. Medical reasons which may be alleviated with a tummy tuck include stress urinary incontinence and a ventral hernia. An aesthetic reason may be loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy.
