MINI TUMMY TUCK LAFAYETTE, CA | ARTFULSURGERY: ELIZABETH S. LEE, MD

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

A mini tummy tuck is a specialized surgical technique designed to
address excess skin and muscle laxity below the belly button. This
variation of abdominoplasty offers patients a targeted approach to
body contouring with reduced recovery time compared to a full tummy
tuck.

PROCEDURE CHARACTERISTICS

 	* Less invasive surgical technique
	* Smaller incision along the pubic line
	* Focuses on lower abdominal region
	* Shorter recovery period compared to full tummy tuck

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

Patients best suited for a mini tummy tuck typically have:

 	* Muscle and skin laxity limited to below the belly button
	* Overall good physique with localized abdominal concerns
	* Stable body weight
	* No plans for future pregnancies

MINI TUMMY TUCK VS. FULL TUMMY TUCK

While both procedures aim to create a more toned abdomen, key
differences include surgical approach, incision size, and extent of
correction. A mini tummy tuck provides more focused results with a
shorter recovery time and less extensive scarring.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

ArtfulSurgery performs mini tummy tucks as an outpatient procedure
under general anesthesia. The surgery typically takes 1-3 hours and
involves muscle repositioning, tissue contouring, and excess skin
removal through a small incision.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

 	* Initial recovery period: 5-7 days
	* Return to work: Approximately 2 weeks
	* Avoid strenuous activities for 3 weeks
	* Follow post-operative instructions carefully

ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES

For patients with stubborn fat deposits without significant skin
laxity, CoolSculpting® might offer a non-surgical alternative to
address body contouring goals.

CONSULTATION PROCESS

Dr. Elizabeth Lee provides personalized consultations to determine
individual suitability for a mini tummy tuck. The comprehensive
evaluation includes discussing aesthetic goals, medical history, and
developing a tailored treatment plan.
