Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive version of the traditional tummy tuck, designed to target and tighten the lower abdomen below the belly button. It’s ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with a small “pooch” or loose skin in the lower belly area that won’t respond to diet or exercise. The result is a smoother, flatter, and more toned abdominal contour with minimal scarring and a shorter recovery time.
How is a Mini Tummy Tuck performed?
A mini tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours. The surgeon makes a small horizontal incision just above the pubic area—similar to a C-section scar. Through this incision, excess skin is removed, and the underlying muscles may be tightened if needed.
Unlike a full tummy tuck, the belly button is not repositioned, and the correction is focused solely on the area below the navel. Once the desired contour is achieved, the incision is closed with sutures, and a compression garment is placed to support healing and shape.
Post Mini Tummy Tuck Care
Recovery after a mini tummy tuck is usually quicker and easier than a full abdominoplasty. Most patients return to work and light activities within a week.
