Mini Tummy Tuck New York, NY | David L. Abramson, MD

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a targeted cosmetic procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the lower abdominal region. This surgical technique focuses specifically on the area beneath the belly button, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional tummy tucks.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

• Close to ideal body weight
• Excess skin/fat localized in lower abdomen
• Good overall muscle tone
• Non-smokers or willing to quit before and after surgery
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Procedure Details

The mini tummy tuck involves a shorter incision placed just above the pubic area, similar to a C-section scar. This technique allows for targeted removal of excess skin and fat while minimizing surgical intervention.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically expect a two-week recovery period, with most individuals returning to normal activities within one month. Compression garments and careful post-operative care help support optimal healing and results.

Key Recovery Considerations

• Outpatient procedure
• Initial 48-hour supervised recovery
• Pain management with prescribed medication
• Gradual return to exercise and daily activities
