ARROYO, MD

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURES

While diet and exercise can effectively target body fat, stubborn
midsection fat often remains resistant to traditional weight loss
protocols. Dr. Christian Arroyo specializes in mini tummy tuck
procedures designed to address these challenging areas for patients
throughout the greater Houston region.

WHAT IS A MINI TUMMY TUCK?

A mini tummy tuck, or mini-abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure
specifically targeting excess fat and tissue in the lower abdominal
region. Unlike standard tummy tucks, this procedure focuses
exclusively on the area between the navel and pubic line, offering
patients several key advantages:

 	* Shorter surgical duration
	* Smaller, less noticeable incisions
	* Abbreviated recovery period

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

Optimal candidates for a mini tummy tuck in Houston typically
demonstrate the following characteristics:

 	* Moderate excess skin and fat in the lower abdominal region
	* Strong underlying muscle tone
	* Generally healthy physical and mental condition

PROCEDURE DETAILS AND TECHNIQUE

Dr. Arroyo performs mini tummy tucks using a precise approach. A
horizontal incision below the navel allows for strategic excess skin
extraction and muscle tightening. The procedure utilizes Total
Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA), which provides enhanced patient comfort
and reduced side effects compared to traditional general anesthesia.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can typically expect a streamlined recovery process:

 	* Light activity resumption within 48 hours
	* Suture removal around 2 weeks post-surgery
	* Return to work within 1-2 weeks
	* Moderate exercise permitted at 5-6 weeks

this procedure focuses on the area below the belly button, providing
targeted body contouring for patients near their ideal weight.

under general anesthesia.
