Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck in Shelton

Patients struggling with stubborn lower abdominal fat and loose skin can benefit from a mini tummy tuck procedure. Dr. Reilly specializes in helping patients in Shelton and surrounding Fairfield and New Haven counties redefine their abdominal contours.

Procedure Overview

A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive alternative to traditional abdominoplasty. The procedure focuses on the lower abdominal region, targeting the area below the belly button. Key characteristics include:

• Horizontal incision at the pubic hairline
• Similar scar length to a c-section
• Removal of excess skin and fat
• Improved abdominal wall contours

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

Optimal candidates for this procedure include individuals who:

• Have a small amount of stubborn lower abdominal fat
• Are in relatively good physical shape
• Maintain realistic aesthetic expectations
• Do not require extensive upper abdominal correction

Procedure Preparation and Recovery

During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Reilly will discuss preparation strategies and recovery expectations. The procedure may be performed in-office, offering enhanced privacy and convenience. Patients should anticipate:

• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks
• Gradual resolution of post-surgical symptoms

Expected Results

Patients can expect a more toned and aesthetically pleasing lower abdominal region. The mini tummy tuck creates a smoother, more youthful appearance by addressing localized concerns without extensive surgical intervention.
