mini-abdominoplasty, also called a mini-tummy tuck, is perfect
for patients who desire a tightened and trimmer lower abdomen,
new waistline, and better fit of clothing. A mini-abdominoplasty
is a procedure for individuals who have not only excess
fat in the lower abdomen, but also unwanted skin as well.
Tightening of the muscles can also be performed with the
mini-tummy tuck incision. The mini-tummy tuck usually results
in a shorter scar.

Typically, patients who are good
candidates for a mini-abdominoplasty include:
- Those who have had moderate weight loss
with overhanging tummy skin
- Those women who have had pregnancies with
or without a C-Section whose skin overhangs a bit
- Those whose stomach muscles simply won’t
tighten enough despite exercise.
The procedure involves three
steps, all performed during the same operation:
- Removal of lower abdominal skin
- Liposuction of unwanted fat
- Tightening of the lower abdominal wall
muscles
This procedure is very popular
among our patients because it accomplishes for them something
they would not be able to achieve on their own, namely removal
of excess skin and tightening of overstretched muscles.
A mini-tummy tuck is ideally suited for those whose waistline
concern is from below the bellybutton only. If there is
extra abdominal skin and weakness of the abdomen above the
bellybutton then a full abdominoplasty may be the better
choice.
