Mini Tummy Tuck West Hollywood, CA | Yoel A. Rojas Ortiz, MD

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedures

A mini tummy tuck is a targeted surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and muscle laxity in the lower abdominal region. Unlike a full abdominoplasty, this technique focuses specifically on the area below the belly button, providing a more focused approach to body contouring.

Key Differences Between Full and Mini Tummy Tuck

• Shorter surgical scar compared to full tummy tuck
• Limited skin and muscle correction below the belly button
• No repositioning or creation of a new belly button
• Faster and easier recovery process
• Generally more cost-effective than full abdominoplasty

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

Dr. Yoel A. Rojas Ortiz recommends mini tummy tuck for patients with specific characteristics: limited skin laxity, muscle separation primarily below the belly button, and a desire for targeted lower abdominal contouring. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals whose concerns are concentrated in the lower abdominal region.

Surgical Approach and Technique

The mini tummy tuck procedure involves a strategic lower abdominal incision to remove excess skin and tighten underlying muscles. The length and placement of the incision depend on individual patient anatomy and the extent of skin laxity.

Procedure Considerations

• Precise lower abdominal skin removal
• Muscle wall tightening
• Minimal scarring approach
• Customized to patient's specific body contours

Cost and Consultation

The cost of a mini tummy tuck varies based on multiple factors, including surgical complexity, geographic location, and additional procedural requirements. Dr. Rojas recommends a personalized consultation to determine exact pricing and assess individual candidacy.
