Should i have a tummy tuck for the minimal stretched skin?

Not sure: I am not sure what you mean. I use tummy tucks (witch hazel) to do several things: reduce skin and stretch marks, repair the muscle and create a waistline, improve contour and remove poor scars, etc. If any of these are you, then you are a potentially good candidate for a tummy tuck performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.

No: If you have minimal skin excess you may be one of the few people who could be good candidate for a mini tummy tuck.

No: Tummy tucks (witch hazel) are for excessive loose skin and lax belly muscles. The lower abdomen or tummy stretch marks are often removes but if you have tight skin with stretch marks then this is not a procedure that is optimal.

Minimal?: If it really is a minimal amount of skin, a mini-tummy tuck might give you the appearance you are looking for with a less invasive procedure.

If truely minimal: You might try a non-invasive treatment like rf (radiofrequency) first. Best to see your local plastic surgeon about this, to assess the amount of laxity that you actually have.
