Mini Tummy Tuck Denton, TX | North Texas Breast & Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedures

For patients with excess skin or fat below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck can restore a slimmer, more toned waistline. This modified procedure uses a shorter incision and targets the mid-abdomen area, providing a targeted solution for body contouring.

Mini Tummy Tuck vs. Full Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck features a smaller incision compared to a full tummy tuck and addresses localized areas of concern in the mid-abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, this procedure involves:

• A single, smaller incision
• No naval repositioning
• Focused treatment below the naval
• Shorter recovery period

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

North Texas Breast & Plastic Surgery Center recommends mini tummy tuck for healthy patients who:

• Are within 10 percent of their normal body weight
• Do not smoke
• Are not planning future pregnancies
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations
• Have localized excess fat and skin in the mid-abdomen

Procedure Details

Dr. Bruce Hermann performs mini tummy tucks using local anesthesia and mild sedation. The procedure involves a three to five-inch incision above the pubic bone, allowing access to underlying tissues and muscles. Using specialized techniques, Dr. Hermann can remove stubborn fat cells with liposuction and tighten abdominal wall muscles.

Benefits of Mini Tummy Tuck

Patients can expect exceptional advantages, including:

• Minimal scarring
• Faster recovery compared to full tummy tuck
• Reduced postoperative pain
• Improved body confidence

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return home within hours of the procedure and can resume normal activities within two to three days. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for six weeks and follow post-operative instructions carefully.
