MINI TUMMY TUCK

Mini Tummy Tuck

The mini tummy tuck is a less invasive approach to the traditional tummy tuck. Mini tummy tuck surgery is reserved for patients who do not require a full transformation of their abdomen, but rather a refinement. Good candidates for the mini tummy tuck procedure typically suffer from localized fat in the lower abdomen or require less abdominal muscle repair and skin removal than full tummy tuck candidates.
Electing a mini tummy tuck rather than a full tummy tuck gives patients the option of shortening their recovery periods by treating smaller areas of concern rather than the entire abdomen. Many patients who experience slight skin elasticity or weakened lower abdominal muscles often choose the mini tummy tuck to treat their unique concerns and obtain the results they desire.

Hi, I’m Dr Bonett, practicing in Naples, Florida. I often see patients for concerns about excess skin or saggy skin below their belly button and they’re looking for procedure that’s less invasive than a full tummy tuck. In some cases mini tummy tuck might be the answer.

The difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck is that a mini tummy tuck can be done with a little bit of a shorter scar, we still hide it low below the belly button and after the excess skin is removed, we can also tighten the muscles if needed similar to a full tummy tuck. It’s important to understand that a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck is the patient who really has that skin laxity that is confined to the lower abdomen. If you feel like you have a lot of excess skin or laxity above the belly button the full tummy tuck may be better option for you.

If you’re interested in discussing options to rejuvenate or improve the Contour of your abdomen, please come see us for a consultation and we’ll talk about the difference between mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck and let you know which one is right for you

During the procedure, your surgeon creates small incisions and gently reshapes the abdomen by removing excess skin and tissue to achieve a flatter, tighter stomach. In many instances, your surgeon might recommend combining this procedure with liposuction to remove fat deposits along with sagging skin to enhance the overall physique.
