Today, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck stands out among the top three most demanded procedures for both men and women at My Cosmetic Surgery, the most renowned cosmetic surgery clinic in the United States, with an impeccable track record spanning over 25 years.
The tummy tuck, a complex surgical procedure involving the reconstruction of the abdominal wall, entails the removal of excess skin and fat, along with the tightening of the abdominal wall muscles, aiming to reshape the abdomen, waist, and overall body contour.
The abdominoplasty procedure can be subdivided into categories based on the needs and characteristics of the patient. In this article, we will discuss mini abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck, a procedure that has gained popularity at My Cosmetic Surgery.
The rationale for undergoing a mini abdominoplasty typically involves abdominal flaccidity following significant weight loss or due to weakened abdominal muscles resulting from aging, pregnancies, or lack of exercise.
Mini abdominoplasty employs a less invasive surgical technique compared to standard abdominoplasty, as it targets individuals with excess lower abdominal wall tissue only, below the navel. Only the surplus skin in that area is removed, with the incision typically concealed within the bikini line.
In some cases, specialists prefer combining mini abdominoplasty with liposuction to eliminate excess fat and achieve greater harmony in body contour.
Surgeons at My Cosmetic Surgery state that a mini tummy tuck typically takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the patient’s morphology and the amount of accumulated fat, among other factors.
At My Cosmetic Surgery, mini abdominoplasty is performed by the outstanding surgeons Jeffrey LaGrasso, Ravinder Jarial, Luke Gutwein, William Scott McDonald, and David Globerman, all duly accredited and highly experienced in this procedure.
