Also known as a partial abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery aimed at those with a small amount of loose skin and fat below the belly button, often resulting from pregnancy or weight fluctuations. It's ideal for individuals with good muscle tone above the belly button who do not require extensive surgery. The procedure involves a shorter incision above the pubic area to excise excess skin and fat, potentially tightening mild muscle laxity. This results in a rejuvenated lower abdominal region without altering the belly button, ensuring a natural look.
The Mini Tummy Tuck procedure begins with a consultation to evaluate suitability and discuss goals. On the day of surgery, under general or local anesthesia with sedation, a small incision is made above the pubic area. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat, and may tighten muscles if necessary, through this incision. The incision is then carefully closed, and a compression garment is applied to aid healing. This targeted approach ensures a refined lower abdomen with minimal disruption to the upper abdomen.

The Mini Tummy Tuck procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the correction needed.
There will be a scar, but it is shorter and positioned lower than in a full tummy tuck, making it discreet and easily hidden by clothing.
