Mini Abdominoplasty
What is a Mini Abdominoplasty?
Unlike a full abdominoplasty, which corrects both the upper and lower abdomen, a mini abdominoplasty focuses exclusively on the area below the belly button. It is ideal for individuals with good overall muscle tone but who struggle with excess skin or small fat deposits in the lower abdomen, often following pregnancy or moderate weight loss.
This procedure provides natural, discreet enhancement – perfect for those who want visible improvement with shorter recovery and minimal scarring.
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation & Planning : During a detailed evaluation, your surgeon will determine whether a mini abdominoplasty is the right option for you, based on skin quality, muscle condition, and aesthetic goals.
- Surgical Technique : A short incision is made just above the pubic area, through which excess skin is removed and underlying muscles are tightened if necessary. In many cases, liposuction can be combined to refine contour and achieve optimal results.
- Focus Area: Unlike a full tummy tuck, the belly button remains untouched, and the procedure is limited to the lower abdominal region.
Recovery and Results
- Recovery Timeline: Most patients return to daily activities within 7–10 days, with exercise gradually resumed after 3–4 weeks.
- Healing Process: Swelling and mild discomfort may occur initially but resolve quickly with proper care.
- Results: The outcome is a flatter, firmer, and more defined lower abdomen with a scar that is discreetly hidden beneath underwear or swimwear.
