The most common issues in the abdominal area are excess skin, skin looseness, fat accumulation, and muscle laxity. These problems are most commonly seen in women after pregnancy/childbirth and in both men and women after significant weight loss (such as after bariatric surgery).
If these issues are present throughout the abdominal area (above and below the belly button), a full tummy tuck is recommended. If the problems are located below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck is usually chosen.
