Mini-Tummy Tuck (Mini-Abdominoplasty)
Because it is performed on a smaller scale than a full-tummy tuck surgery, a mini-tummy tuck usually requires a single small incision just above the pubic area to create a firmer abdomen area. It’s considered to be the perfect option for people who are healthy and maintaining a stable weight without carrying too much excess weight around the waist, whilst having a lower belly that protrudes slightly as opposed to a larger and more protruding abdomen.
Although the results are permanent, your final outcome will be influenced by your own lifestyle following your surgery. It’s vital to ensure that you maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure that the skin, muscles and fatty tissue doesn’t loosen or build back up as this will result in the requirement of another surgery being carried out.

Why choose mini-tummy tuck surgery?
People with mild to moderate tummy contour changes who have relatively little skin excess and little weakness of the abdominal wall may consider a mini-tummy tuck. Unlike a full tummy tuck, this procedure is less invasive and specifically targets the lower abdomen, making it a suitable choice for individuals looking to improve this particular area. It’s also an option for individuals wishing to replace an unattractive Cesarean section scar with a lower one that’s just slightly longer.
How does a mini-tummy tuck surgery work?
The surgery begins with a surgeon making a shorter incision than that required for a full tummy tuck, usually around the bikini line. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a flatter and smoother lower abdomen. Liposuction may also be performed at the time of the mini abdominoplasty to further contour the area. One of the notable features of a mini-tummy tuck is that the navel incision is avoided, making the procedure less invasive compared to a full tummy tuck.
What are the results like?
Post-surgery, patients can expect a flatter, slimmer lower abdomen which could enhance their confidence especially when wearing swimsuits and fitted clothing. The resulting scar from a mini-tummy tuck is a thin, horizontal line that is typically just a few inches long, which is less noticeable and easily concealed with clothing. Moreover, the recovery time is generally shorter, and the procedure is less involved compared to a full tummy tuck, making it a more appealing choice for those who are looking for quicker recovery and less downtime.
