The Mini Tummy Tuck

Pregnancy, weight loss, and even age can leave your abdomen looking flabby. Diet and exercise are always the preferred choices for a tight, flat stomach, but they're not always enough. Loss of skin elasticity and muscles which have been stretched beyond return can mean loose skin and excess muscle tissue which do not respond to exercise and do not improve with any amount of weight loss.

A full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can leave significant scars and requires significant recovery. For many women, a mini tummy tuck is a more realistic option with beautiful results. The mini tummy tuck addresses the lower abdomen, the area below the belly button. It requires fewer and smaller incisions and far less downtime. Excess fat and skin are removed, and the muscles can be tightened.
