Mini Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) at The Gunter Center in Dallas, Texas
Partial, or "mini," abdominoplasty addresses excess fat and tissue below the navel and is an excellent option for those who do not require the more extensive correction provided by a full abdominoplasty. Because the mini tummy tuck procedure is less invasive and requires a shorter incision, it has a shorter recovery time and allows a quicker return to daily activities. We offer the mini and full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure at The Gunter Center in Dallas, Texas so that individuals who have been troubled by laxity and sag on the abdomen can achieve the flat, contoured look they desire with minimal scarring and discomfort.
Candidates for Mini Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Surgery
Mini abdominoplasty surgery is ideal for people with a small amount of excess abdominal tissue but who do not have a protruding abdominal muscle wall or extensive fatty tissue that are likely to require a full abdominoplasty. People with a slightly sagging abdominal area and who would like to sculpt their stomachs to more pleasing contours are the best candidates for this procedure. In general, mini abdominoplasty is best used to eliminate excess tissue beneath the navel. If you are unsure if you are a candidate for mini abdominoplasty or will require a full tummy tuck, please contact the Dallas, Texas office of The Gunter Center for a consultation.
Surgery and Recovery
The length of the incision made in a mini abdominoplasty depends on the amount of skin to be removed, but it is always shorter than the incision necessary for a complete tummy tuck. Liposuction may be used during the mini procedure to help sculpt the abdomen. Excess skin and fat is removed through the incision and abdominal muscles are tightened for a more toned look in the mini tummy tuck procedure, and repositioning of the navel is unnecessary.
Patients should expect to rest at home for a few days after a mini tummy tuck. Medication is prescribed to manage any discomfort that is felt during this time. Most patients are able to return to work just a few days after the surgery, though they are advised to refrain from strenuous activity for several weeks.
