A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button. Unlike a full tummy tuck, which addresses both the upper and lower abdomen, a mini tummy tuck requires a smaller incision and typically has a shorter recovery time. It’s ideal for individuals with excess skin or mild muscle separation in the lower abdomen, helping to create a smoother, more toned look without the extensive surgery involved in a full tummy tuck.
The recovery period for a mini tummy tuck is generally shorter than that of a full tummy tuck, with most patients able to return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. Swelling and minor discomfort are common during the first week and can be managed with prescribed pain medication and compression garments. Following post-surgery instructions and avoiding strenuous activities will help ensure a smooth recovery.
Yes, there will be a scar, but it is typically shorter and located lower on the abdomen than in a full tummy tuck, making it easier to conceal under most clothing and swimwear. Over time, the scar tends to fade with proper scar care and sun protection. We also provide guidance on post-surgery scar treatments to further reduce its appearance.
A mini tummy tuck is ideal for individuals who are in good health, at a stable weight, and have loose skin or slight muscle laxity in the lower abdomen that hasn't responded to diet and exercise. If you’re close to your target weight but have concerns about the lower abdomen, a mini tummy tuck can be a great option to achieve a smooth, toned look. During your consultation, our team will assess your goals and create a tailored plan to meet your needs.
