Mini Tummy Tuck

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck is similar to a full tummy tuck; however, it is performed on patients who have less fat and skin to remove. If you are bothered by a small pooch below your belly button that is resistant to diet and exercise, this procedure may be a great option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Willis and his staff couldn’t be more helpful and supportive. This has been the most pleasant experience and I am so pleased with the results and it’s only been a week. The staff at the surgery center as well was wonderful and put all my fears to rest. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of a procedure Dr. Willis and his staff provide you with all the information you need. Wish I had done it sooner.

Dr. Willis and Leah have been so great to me in my cosmetic surgery experience. They always answer my questions, they are so kind. I couldn’t see myself going to anyone else.

Dr.Willis and staff are incredible! They treat their patients with such high respect and make you feel right at home during your procedure. They are experienced and dedicated to making things right. You leave the office feeling really good about yourself and the work they’ve performed! I’ve had Fillers and Botox but would recommend anything!

Dr. Willis did a wonderful job with my surgery. He explained everything very well beforehand so I knew what to expect throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Willis for any plastic surgery procedures. His patient care coordinator Leah is excellent and always available to assist with any questions and concerns.

Who is a Candidate?

Ideal candidates will be in good physical health, finished having children, have a small amount of excess belly fat, and a minimal to moderate amount of excess skin. It is also important to understand that tummy tucks are not weight loss procedures and should not be considered as such. For more information regarding the mini tummy tuck procedure, contact our office today to schedule a consultation appointment.

The Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

A mini tummy tuck is a good option for those who are bothered by a pooch or loose skin and stretch marks below their belly button. This surgical option involves the use of a single incision that is created just above the pubic mound. Through this incision, Dr. Willis will eliminate excess skin and tighten loose muscles to create a smoother, flatter abdomen.

Recovery

Mini tummy tuck recovery is quicker than traditional tummy tuck recovery since this procedure is less invasive. However, Dr. Willis will, of course, give you specific instructions to follow during recovery to ensure that your incisions heal optimally for beautiful, natural-looking results.  This procedure results in a thin, horizontal scar that is only a few inches long. However, this scar will fade with time and can easily be hidden under clothing or a bathing suit bottom.
