Am I a candidate for a hybrid Tummy Tuck,

You have so little skin excess and so little fat I am wondering why you want to do anything. Did someone tell you a 3cm diastasis needs to be repaired?

That would certainly be bad and erroneous advice. I think for the thousands you will spend, the recovery, the scar and the risk of surgery you have VERY LITTLE to gain and it is possible to lead a normal and fully active life with what is a very small diastasis.

Mini tummy tuck

Based on your photos I think you would be an ideal candidate for a limited incision tummy tuck. Your skin elasticity looks fine and your main issue is muscle laxity. You should be able to get a good result from a procedure with a smallish supra pubic incision and muscle tightening. (Terrence Murphy, MD, Englewood Plastic Surgeon)
