Mini Tummy Tuck Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD

Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

A mini tummy tuck is a specialized body contouring procedure targeting specific areas of the lower abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, this procedure focuses exclusively on addressing loose skin and excess fat in the lower abdominal region.

Key Characteristics of Mini Tummy Tuck

• Targets only lower abdominal area
• Preserves upper abdominal skin
• Maintains original belly button position
• Minimal muscle tightening

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

The optimal candidate for a mini tummy tuck is an individual with localized concerns in the lower abdomen. Patients should have minimal loose skin and fat concentration specifically in the lower abdominal region, without requiring extensive upper abdominal modification.

Surgical Approach and Scar Management

Dr. Zahir strategically places incisions to ensure minimal visible scarring. The surgical approach prioritizes a low-positioned scar that can be easily concealed beneath clothing, providing both aesthetic improvement and discretion.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a recovery period ranging from one to three weeks. During this time, Dr. Zahir recommends reduced physical activity to support optimal healing and surgical outcomes.

Procedure Benefits

• Targeted body contouring
• Minimal surgical intervention
• Shorter recovery period
• Improved lower abdominal profile
