Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery in Orlando
Resistant lower abdominal fat can be challenging to eliminate, even with consistent diet and exercise. The Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery specializes in targeted mini tummy tuck procedures for Orange County and Central Florida residents.
What Makes Mini Tummy Tuck Different?
Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck focuses specifically on fat and skin below the belly button. This less invasive surgical approach offers several advantages:
- Minimal scarring compared to traditional techniques
- No repositioning of the belly button required
- Shorter recovery period
- Lower surgical complexity
- More affordable option
Surgical Procedure Details
Dr. Peters performs mini tummy tucks using a small incision above the pubic area. Through this precise access point, unwanted fat is removed, and underlying muscles are tightened and repositioned for optimal contouring.
Recovery and Expectations
While less invasive than a full tummy tuck, patients should anticipate a recovery period of approximately four weeks. Patients will need to restrict physical activity and may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness.
Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck
Dr. Peters recommends mini tummy tucks for patients with:
- Minimal fat deposits in the lower abdomen
- Good overall health
- Stable body weight
- Realistic aesthetic expectations
Important Considerations
Mini tummy tucks are not recommended as a weight loss solution or for individuals planning future pregnancies. Each procedure is customized to the patient's unique anatomical needs.
