What is Mini Tummy Tuck in Miami?
A mini tummy tuck addresses excess lower abdominal fat and sagging skin just above the pubic area. Some individuals lose muscle tone in the lower abdomen, which causes problem areas that include sagginess and/or excess fat. These problems are caused by pregnancy, including skin fold after a C-section, some weight gain and loss, aging, or genetic predisposition.
Sometimes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle including healthy food choices and exercise is not enough to eliminate these problem areas. For many of these individuals, a mini tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) is an effective solution to their problem areas. This procedure is designed for those who wish to remove the pouch above the pubic area and have a flatter and tighter lower abdomen.
Mini Tummy Tuck vs. Full Tummy Tuck: Comparison
In comparison to a traditional tummy tuck, the mini tummy tuck involves a smaller area, targeting excess fat and skin just above the pubic area while a traditional tummy tuck involves the entire abdomen.
One of the most differing areas of a mini tummy tuck when compared to a traditional tummy tuck is the belly button. A traditional tummy tuck removes skin and tissue beneath and above the belly button, requiring surgical repositioning of the belly button. A mini tummy tuck can remove the excess skin and tissue and repair damaged muscles of the abdominal wall without repositioning the belly button.
Who should get a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is typically suitable for individuals who have a taut abdominal wall, have some effects (sagging or excess skin) from weight gain and loss (between the belly button and pubic area), and do not have a significant protrusion of the abdomen.
Limitations to a mini tummy tuck when compared to a traditional tummy tuck include:
- There are skin tightening limitations. A mini tummy tuck will only tighten the small area directly above the pubic area.
- Like a traditional tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck does not repair stretch marks.
- A mini tummy tuck does not repair any muscle wall separation or muscle loss above the belly button.
Because a mini tummy tuck in Miami is less invasive than a traditional tummy tuck, the recovery time is generally shorter, and there is less scarring. A mini tummy tuck is also recommended for individuals with scarring from a previous traditional tummy tuck and who may not be candidates for a second full tummy tuck.
A mini tummy tuck is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle that includes moderate exercise and a healthy diet and is not considered a weight loss aid or a treatment for obesity. Mini tummy tucks are advantageous to individuals who wish to remove stubborn fat or skin from their lower abdomen.
