The Mini Tummy Tuck Advantage

Dr. Afshin Farzadmehr - MD patients seeking abdominal contouring can benefit from a mini tummy tuck, also known as liposuction with dermolipectomy. This procedure offers similar results to a full abdominoplasty but with several advantages:

• Shorter recovery time
• Less invasive technique
• Smaller incision resulting in a shorter scar

Procedure Details

The mini tummy tuck procedure at 90210 Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology involves:

1. Removal of excess fat from the abdomen, hip, and waist regions using tumescent liposuction
2. Excision of excess skin from the lower abdomen
3. Preservation of the belly button's original position

While muscle tightening is not typically performed during a mini tummy tuck, it can be incorporated if necessary for optimal results.

Ideal Candidates

The mini tummy tuck is particularly suitable for patients with:

• Excess abdominal skin and fat
• Minimal muscle laxity
• Desire for a less invasive procedure with quicker recovery
