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.

Financing Your Procedure

The Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery offers flexible financing options through CareCredit® to make your aesthetic goals more accessible.

Short review: got a breast reduction 3 years ago and my nipple placement is WAY too high (will never be able to create cleavage and feels very unnatural) and I didn't get the size I asked for because Dr Peters is only capable of doing C cup sized breast reductions. Long review: I went from 32H+ cup size (One was bigger than the other due to cysts) down to a C cup with this breast reduction. I chose this surgeon based off his portfolio and the fact that I had personal history with the lead nurse. I really liked how the finished product of his breast reductions looked. And to be honest, mine look great unclothed. But they will never look good in a bra due to the over heightened positioning of the nipples. I will never be able to create cleavage, a feminine aspect that I didn't realize was going to be completely removed from my life. Because of the high nipple placement, I always have to be very careful what kind of tops and dresses I buy and a lot of my old dresses that I could have worn I can no longer wear because of the dramatically high nipple placement. I wish this specific circumstance was addressed before surgery, which is why I'm writing this review now to help other women be more educated about this procedure. If I were properly educated about this, I would have chosen a different surgeon because having at least some kind of cleavage is important to me. Or was... Also, it was made clear to me that I was probably going to end up with C cups despite my request for DD's. Which is why it should be very clear for you to know that despite what he says, that is the only size he will do for you. He said he would "try" to do DD's, but I don't think that effort was made because I don't think that's possible for him to do. It is for other surgeons, but not him. It's like I was given the sense of false hope. And so I'm telling you right now, If you want a different size than a C then it won't happen if you decide to do your surgery with Dr Peters. Another thing; my right breast was larger than my left breast due to cyst growth. Because of this, now my right breast is smaller than my left breast. It's probably not obvious to onlookers, but it's obvious to me. After the surgery and 6-month recovery, I noticed that the inner corners of my right breast would wrinkle in it's natural resting state. Which is extremely unattractive. This was on my right breast which was bigger in size, and a little too much breast fat was taken out during surgery, creating this wrinkle effect. What should have been done was an injection of fat from somewhere else in my body put in there to make it more even with my other breast. Instead their solution was to cut out a piece of skin and close it a little tighter so it would wrinkle less. But it still wrinkles. And now I have more scarring. As far as positives, I love that I don't have to wear bra. In fact, in the almost 3 years that I've had this reduction I've rarely worn a bra. Which has never been my reality since I was in 4th grade. The stress in my shoulders has decreased over time, but is still there a little bit. When I go get bodywork done, I absolutely still need deep work in my shoulders from the years of caring heavy meat bags. But it's gotten less painful with time. It's like my shoulder muscle cells remember how much stress they needed to be in in order to carry the weight because that's how they were trained from since I was an elementary school. But now that the weight is gone, my muscle cells are only slowly learning this new reality of not having to stress so much with all the weight being lifted and gone. Overall, not the best experience but not the worst either as far as surgery goes. This is my first and hopefully final surgery ever. Also, as a heads up, you'll be shocked at your before and after photos once they're off of your body. You never know how big they are until they're gone. And after looking at my before photos, mine definitely needed to go. Despite the challenges of my surgery experience as explained above, it's one I don't regret.

Dr. Peters just did a breast reduction along with some nearby located liposuction from a DDD/F for me last week down to a more proportionate size for short statured body. I’m beyond happy that I selected him as the surgeon and team I trusted with this decision. The professionalism, care, thorough information and results have surpassed my expectations by far. It’s a long journey to be fully healed, but I know they’ll be there to support me. Not only were the results top notch, but the pricing was extremely reasonable as I had to pay fully out of pocket. Thank you, and I am eternally grateful to others who shared their experiences as it gave me the initial confidence to make this decision.
