Mini Tummy Tuck Thornton, CO | Dr. Nathan Roesner

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedures

A mini tummy tuck is a specialized surgical procedure designed for patients with a relatively small amount of excess skin located below the belly button. This targeted approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing skin laxity after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Procedure Details

During a mini tummy tuck, Dr. Nathan Roesner carefully removes an ellipse of skin from the lower abdominal region, extending down to the abdominal wall muscles. The remaining skin and tissue are meticulously sutured together, creating a smoother, more contoured appearance.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Focused on lower abdominal area below the belly button
• Minimal muscle intervention unless specific defects are present
• Potential hernia correction in the targeted region
• Consideration of existing abdominal scars

Surgical Approach

The surgical technique involves subsurface stitching, which minimizes visible scarring. In most cases, a surgical drain is not required, simplifying the recovery process. Patients can typically return to work within one week, with full recovery expected in 3-4 weeks.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

Optimal candidates for this procedure include individuals with:

• Localized excess skin below the belly button
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health
• Realistic aesthetic expectations
