Mini Tummy Tuck in Boulder | Mile High Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

Mile High Plastic Surgery offers a specialized Mini Tummy Tuck procedure designed for patients with a small amount of excess skin located below the belly button. This surgical technique is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing skin laxity after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Procedure Details and Technique

During the Mini Tummy Tuck, Mile High Plastic Surgery surgeons carefully remove an ellipse of skin from the lower abdominal region, extending down to the abdominal wall muscles. The remaining skin and tissue are meticulously sutured together, preserving the original belly button position.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Targets excess skin below the belly button
• Minimal muscle manipulation
• Precise surgical approach
• Considers existing abdominal scars

Muscle and Hernia Considerations

While muscle tightening is not typically performed during a Mini Tummy Tuck, Mile High Plastic Surgery addresses any muscular defects discovered during the procedure. Additionally, any present hernias in the lower abdominal region can be addressed simultaneously.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Most individuals can return to work within one week following the procedure. Subsurface stitching minimizes visible scarring, and drains are rarely required.
