Mini Abdominoplasty Tampa, FL | Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery in Tampa

Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery offers a specialized mini tummy tuck procedure designed to address stubborn lower abdominal fat and loose skin. This targeted body contouring technique provides patients with a refined abdominal appearance through a less invasive surgical approach.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, focuses exclusively on the lower abdominal region beneath the belly button. By creating a small incision above the pubic area, the procedure removes excess skin and fat while minimizing scarring and recovery time compared to a standard tummy tuck.

Key Procedure Characteristics

• Targets lower abdominal area exclusively
• Smaller incision for reduced scarring
• No belly button repositioning required
• Shorter recovery period

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck in Tampa

Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery recommends mini tummy tucks for patients who:

• Are near their ideal body weight
• Have localized lower abdominal skin and fat concerns
• Have completed childbearing
• Maintain a stable weight

Procedure Details

The mini tummy tuck procedure involves administering anesthesia, making a small incision above the pubic area, removing excess fat and skin, and closing the incision with sutures. Patients can expect minimal scarring and a quicker recovery compared to traditional abdominoplasty techniques.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck typically ranges from 6-8 weeks. Patients will wear a compression garment and can expect gradual reduction in swelling. Light activities like walking can be resumed within the first two weeks under medical guidance.

Important Considerations

• Not a weight loss procedure
• Best performed after completing family planning
• Individual results may vary
