MINI TUMMY TUCK WALNUT CREEK, CA | JOSEPH A. MELE, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING MINI ABDOMINOPLASTY IN WALNUT CREEK

Mini Tummy Tuck is a specialized body contouring procedure designed
for patients with localized abdominal concerns below the belly button.
This targeted surgical technique addresses excess skin and muscle
laxity in the lower abdominal region, offering a more focused approach
compared to traditional tummy tucks.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Focuses on lower abdominal area below umbilicus
	* Combines skin removal with muscle tightening
	* Shorter surgical incision compared to full abdominoplasty
	* Enhanced body contouring through complementary liposuction

PROCEDURE DETAILS: PRECISION BODY SCULPTING

The Mini Tummy Tuck procedure involves two primary components:
surgical skin removal and targeted fat contouring. The technique
removes excess, loose skin from the lower abdomen while simultaneously
tightening underlying muscles, creating a flatter and more refined
abdominal profile.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Shorter incision in lower abdominal region
	* Muscle fascia tightening
	* Selective fat removal through liposuction
	* Preservation of belly button position

comfortable compared to traditional abdominoplasty. Patients can
expect a structured rehabilitation process with early mobilization and
comprehensive pain management strategies.

POST-OPERATIVE GUIDELINES

 	* Encouraged early walking and movement
	* Limited lifting (under 20 pounds) for six weeks
	* Local anesthesia techniques for enhanced comfort
	* Importance of hydration during recovery

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

WHAT IS ABDOMINOPLASTY?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to tighten abdominal
muscles and remove excess skin and fat. The goal is to create a
smoother, flatter abdominal wall. Dr. Joseph A. Mele has extensive
