Mini-abdominoplasty, also known as mini tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to smooth and improve the appearance of the lower abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck focuses primarily on the lower abdomen, leaving the upper abdomen largely untouched.
Look in the mirror with love
A mini tummy tuck is usually suitable for people who have a small amount of loose skin or fat in the lower abdomen area, often after pregnancy or weight loss. The procedure involves a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck, usually near the bikini line. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat and may adjust the muscles if necessary.
Recovery time is usually shorter than for a full tummy tuck. Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Additional information on the procedure
What are the advantages compared to a full tummy tuck?
- Smaller incision and scars
- Faster recovery
- Suitable for minor abdominal changes
While a mini tummy tuck can be effective for certain issues, it is not a weight loss method and may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates are usually those who are in relatively good physical shape but have issues with excess fat or loose skin in certain areas of the lower abdomen.
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, a mini tummy tuck carries certain risks, such as infection, bleeding and complications associated with anaesthesia.
It may not be effective for those with extensive abdominal changes or who require more extensive correction.
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive alternative to a full tummy tuck, suitable for people with less pronounced abdominal changes. It is important to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss your needs and expectations, and to understand the suitability, risks and possible outcomes of the procedure.
