Mini Tummy Tuck, also known as mini abdominoplasty, is a less invasive cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the lower abdomen only, below the belly button. It focuses on removing excess skin and fat while tightening mildly weakened lower abdominal muscles.

Compared to a full tummy tuck, the mini version uses a shorter incision and offers a quicker recovery. It is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have persistent lower abdominal concerns due to pregnancy, aging, or weight changes.

Mini Tummy Tuck works by surgically addressing skin laxity, fat deposits, and mild muscle looseness in the lower abdominal region. The procedure does not involve repositioning the belly button and targets only the area between the navel and the pubic line.

It is performed using precise surgical instruments under local anesthesia. A small horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen, excess skin and fat are removed, and the lower abdominal muscles may be tightened if necessary. The incision is then closed with sutures, often dissolvable, and a compression garment is used to support healing.
