A mini tummy tuck helps patients improve the lower abdomen with a focused and less invasive approach. At My Cosmetic Surgery, this popular body contouring procedure delivers consistent results and high patient satisfaction. With more than 25 years of experience, our surgical team uses advanced techniques to create natural-looking outcomes.
Many patients choose this option because it targets the area below the belly button. In addition, it offers a shorter recovery period compared to a traditional abdominoplasty.
What Is This Lower Abdominal Procedure?
This surgery reshapes and tightens the lower abdominal region without addressing the upper abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, it focuses only on excess skin and mild muscle laxity beneath the navel. Therefore, it works best for patients with localized concerns.
Surgeons aim to create a smoother and firmer contour while preserving the body’s natural proportions.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
This procedure may benefit individuals who experience:
- Mild to moderate lower abdominal laxity
- Excess skin below the belly button
- Post-pregnancy abdominal changes
- Body contour changes after weight loss
- Mild muscle weakness in the lower abdomen
However, patients with significant loose skin throughout the abdomen may require a more extensive procedure.
How Surgeons Perform the Procedure
During surgery, the doctor removes excess skin from the lower abdomen through a small incision. In some cases, the surgeon tightens the lower abdominal muscles to improve firmness and support.
The incision typically sits along the bikini line. As a result, patients can easily conceal the scar under most clothing and swimwear.
Combining with Liposuction for Enhanced Results
Surgeons often combine this procedure with liposuction to improve overall contour. By removing stubborn fat, they refine the waistline and create a more balanced shape.
This combination can:
- Improve body proportions
- Enhance abdominal definition
- Deliver smoother and more harmonious results
Consequently, many patients achieve a more complete transformation.
Procedure Time and Recovery
The surgery usually lasts one to two hours, depending on individual anatomy and additional treatments. Because it involves a smaller treatment area, patients often recover faster than with a full abdominoplasty.
Most individuals return to light activities within a short period. Nevertheless, they must follow post-operative instructions carefully to support optimal healing.
