Mini-abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck)

Mini-abdominoplasty treats extra skin and bulging of the lower abdominal (tummy) area. In this procedure, a small incision, similar to that of a C-section, is used to remove the extra skin and fat as well as tighten the lower abdominal muscle. This procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. Recovery time is typically less than the full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Together, you and your surgeon will decide whether the full or mini-abdominoplasty procedure is right for you.
