MINI TUMMY TUCK ANNANDALE, VA | DR. KHALIQUE S. ZAHIR, MD

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

A mini tummy tuck is a specialized body contouring procedure targeting
specific areas of the lower abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, this
procedure focuses exclusively on addressing loose skin and excess fat
in the lower abdominal region.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Targets only lower abdominal area
	* Preserves upper abdominal skin
	* Maintains original belly button position
	* Minimal muscle tightening

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

The optimal candidate for a mini tummy tuck is an individual with
localized concerns in the lower abdomen. Patients should have minimal
loose skin and fat concentration specifically in the lower abdominal
region, without requiring extensive upper abdominal modification.

SURGICAL APPROACH AND SCAR MANAGEMENT

Dr. Zahir strategically places incisions to ensure minimal visible
scarring. The surgical approach prioritizes a low-positioned scar that
can be easily concealed beneath clothing, providing both aesthetic
improvement and discretion.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can anticipate a recovery period ranging from one to three
weeks. During this time, Dr. Zahir recommends reduced physical
activity to support optimal healing and surgical outcomes.

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Targeted body contouring
	* Minimal surgical intervention
	* Shorter recovery period
	* Improved lower abdominal profile

ABDOMINOPLASTY TUMMY TUCK ANNANDALE, VA | AESTHETIQUE COSMETIC &
PLASTIC

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty is a specialized surgical treatment designed for
candidates with loose abdominal skin and significant fat deposits
unresponsive to traditional diet and exercise. This procedure is
particularly beneficial for post-pregnancy patients experiencing skin
laxity and stretch marks.

TUMMY TUCK SURGICAL PROCEDURE

The tummy tuck procedure involves removing up to one-third of the
lower abdominal wall skin, stretch marks, and fat. Surgeons utilize
advanced techniques to:

 	* Tighten abdominal muscles with permanent sutures
	* Reinforce muscle structure
	* Create a more youthful, flat abdominal profile

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING

Combined hip and flank liposuction can help recreate a defined
waistline potentially lost due to pregnancy or significant weight
changes. For patients with muscle laxity and stretched skin, a full
abdominoplasty remains the most effective treatment option.

CIRCUMFERENTIAL TUMMY TUCK TECHNIQUE

The circumferential tummy tuck, or belt abdominoplasty, is
specifically designed for patients who have undergone massive weight
loss. This advanced technique addresses excess skin removal around the
entire torso, creating a more comprehensive body transformation.

PROCEDURE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Removes excess abdominal skin and fat
	* Tightens underlying muscle structure
	* Preserves and repositions the belly button
	* Creates a more contoured body silhouette
