One of the conditions wife made for giving me the green light to buy a new c14 was that she get a tummy tuck .
There are two basic types: mini tuck and the full old school style . The surgeon said he generally doesn’t do the mini as it doesn’t save the client much $ and isn’t as good.
A mini is simply removing a band of stretched out skin, reconnect and it’s done . It looks fine. But, for a little more, you get the full.
In the full, after removing the flabby skin, the abdominal muscles are cut horizontal. Then a stitched up sort of corset is made, the muscles are pulled super tight.
The difference? The full gave a sculpted stomach, so firm that you could bounce a quarter on it. Our daughters thought it unfair their mother had a better stomach, despite the both of them being teens with no kids.
We are happy we spent the extra coin to get a much better result. I think wife would have been happy with mini, as long as she didn’t meet up with someone with a full tuck. Then, she’d regret not getting the full deal.
The same applies to c14 tuning.
