Abdominoplasty commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a popular surgical procedure for men and women looking to improve the appearance of their abdomen.

Mini Tummy Tuck Procedures

Stubborn abdominal fat is a prevalent problem for many people, especially after aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy. However, your concern may only regard the lower abdomen, specifically below the belly button. If so, consider getting a mini tummy tuck in Virginia Beach to reduce excess fat and loose skin only on the lower abdomen.

Since the procedure is more localized than a full tummy tuck, it does not strengthen and repair abdominal muscles after separation during pregnancy. However, the slimming effects and enhanced muscle contours are long-term if you maintain a stable weight after surgery. Reach out to Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery for a consultation to discuss the procedure and its potential benefits further.

FAQs

Why Should You Consider a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck procedure is a less invasive option for individuals in Virginia Beach struggling with a small amount of excess fat in their lower abdomen. Specifically, the surgery is best for people within their ideal and recommended weight range, but whose lower abdomen fat and skin does not reduce with diet and exercise. Therefore, if excess abdominal fat is localized between the belly button and pubic area, a mini tummy tuck provides substantial results with fewer risks and a shorter recovery period.

Further, since the surgery focuses on a smaller area, patients have less abdominal scarring afterward. In addition, mini tummy tuck scars are lower on the abdomen and therefore easier to hide with clothing.
