Mini-Tummy Tuck

Sagging abdominal skin, fat, and muscle can be the result of pregnancy, substantial weight loss, or an inherited tendency. A Lower Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a Mini-Tummy Tuck, is a surgical procedure to sculpt and tighten the lower abdominal wall. Unlike a complete Abdominoplasty, a Mini-Tummy Tuck is limited to the lower portion of the abdomen between the belly button and pubic area. This outpatient procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding or sagging skin of the lower abdomen. A Mini-tummy Tuck is frequently performed in conjunction with liposuction, (fat removal by suction), resulting in an abdomen that is tighter, flatter and firmer.

Are You a Good Candidate?

To be a good candidate for any plastic surgery, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that plastic surgery can enhance your appearance and self confidence but, like all plastic surgery, it is not going to solve underlying emotional issues you may have. Always think carefully about your expectations and discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.
