WHAT IS A MINI TUMMY TUCK?

A mini tummy tuck, scientifically known as partial abdominoplasty, is
a specialized procedure designed to eliminate excess fat below the
navel and restore a flat stomach for Huntington Beach and Orange
County patients. This surgical technique is particularly beneficial
for women who have recently given birth or experienced significant
weight loss.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Compared to a traditional tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck is less
invasive and typically takes less than an hour. The procedure involves
a shorter incision and often does not require repositioning of the
belly button, making it a more targeted approach to body contouring.

TYPES OF MINI TUMMY TUCK

LOWER MINI TUMMY TUCK

This technique focuses on removing up to half of the skin and
subcutaneous tissue from the lower abdomen. During the procedure, the
surgeon evaluates and potentially repairs weak muscles in the pubic
and lower abdominal region.

UPPER MINI TUMMY TUCK

Performed in the upper abdomen, this approach involves an incision
near the under-breast area. Muscle tightening is recommended after a
thorough muscle examination, typically addressing loose skin above the
navel.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

In some cases, a mini tummy tuck can be combined with liposuction to
achieve optimal results. This combination is particularly effective
when excess fat accompanies sagging skin in the abdominal or pubic
area.

BENEFITS OF A MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Quick procedure, typically completed within one hour
	* Minimally invasive with standard IV sedation and local anesthetic
	* Smaller incision, often hidden below the waistline
	* Minimal belly button repositioning
	* Reduced recovery time compared to full abdominoplasty

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Minor abdominal fat and skin laxity
	* Desire to restore a flat stomach profile
	* Ineffective results from diet and exercise
	* Relatively toned abdominal muscles

PROCEDURE COST AND EXPECTATIONS

The cost of a mini tummy tuck ranges from $4,000 to $6,000, depending
on the specific technique and complexity. Patients can expect a
firmer, flatter abdomen with reduced stretch marks and improved skin
tightness.
