Is a Mini Tummy Tuck Right for You?

Frustrated with exercise-resistant lower belly bulge? A mini tummy tuck could be your solution. This targeted procedure focuses specifically on smoothing and firming the area below your belly button – where many of us struggle most after pregnancy or weight changes.

Unlike a full tummy tuck, this less invasive approach is perfect if you're generally happy with your upper abdomen but want to address:

  • A small pooch or loose skin below your belly button
  • Minor skin laxity that affects how your clothes fit
  • Stubborn lower abdominal fat that diet and exercise haven't touched

The best candidates are those already close to their ideal weight, with good skin elasticity above the navel. Think of it as a precise solution for a specific concern rather than a total abdomen transformation.

Simplified Recovery with Lasting Results

A mini tummy tuck offers what many of our patients are looking for: noticeable results with less downtime. You'll see immediate changes in your silhouette, with a shorter recovery than traditional tummy tucks. The small, low incision is easily concealed – even in swimwear – giving you the confidence to show off your smoother profile.

Dr. Hamid Abdollahi brings advanced expertise to each procedure, focusing on natural-looking results that enhance your existing shape. His precise approach means most patients only need local anesthesia, allowing for a more comfortable experience and quicker return to daily activities.

Your Journey Begins with a Conversation

We understand that considering any cosmetic procedure can feel overwhelming. That's why your journey starts with a relaxed, one-on-one consultation at The Plastic Surgery Center. You'll meet with one of our experienced surgeons to discuss your goals and concerns in a comfortable, pressure-free environment.

During this visit, we'll:

  • Listen to what bothers you about your lower abdomen
  • Examine your area of concern to ensure a mini tummy tuck is right for you
  • Answer all your questions about the procedure and recovery
  • Create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and goals

What to Expect During Your Procedure

A mini tummy tuck starts with anesthesia, either local or general, depending on what’s best for your comfort and safety. Once you’re ready, your surgeon makes a small incision just below your lower abdomen. Through this opening, any excess skin and fat are carefully removed. If necessary, your surgeon may also tighten lower abdominal muscles to refine your contour, creating a smoother, flatter look.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, adding a complementary treatment like liposuction can further enhance your results by targeting additional fat deposits. Once everything is shaped to your satisfaction, the incision is closed using dissolvable sutures, leaving minimal visible scarring. Every step of the way, your comfort and safety are top priorities for our team.

Your Recovery Journey

After your mini tummy tuck, you’ll be able to go home the same day. Over the next few weeks, you’ll gradually ease back into your regular activities with some helpful guidelines. 

During your recovery period, expect to do the following:

  • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
  • Avoid strenuous activities for 2-4 weeks
  • Gradually resume normal activities as advised by your surgeon
  • Return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on job requirements
  • Take prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as directed by your surgeon
  • Wear supportive compression garments for 1-2 weeks

Embracing Your New Shape

As swelling subsides over the following weeks, you'll see your new contours emerge. Your flatter, firmer lower abdomen can help clothes fit better and boost your confidence. These improvements are designed to last, especially when paired with healthy habits.
