Mini Tummy Tuck Nashville, TN | Robbins Plastic Surgery

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a targeted surgical procedure designed to tighten and reshape the lower abdominal region. Ideal for patients primarily concerned with the tone and appearance of their lower belly, this procedure addresses stubborn fat and loose skin that resist traditional diet and exercise.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Candidates for a mini tummy tuck typically include individuals who:

• Have localized fat deposits below the belly button
• Maintain a stable body weight
• Possess good overall health
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations

Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

Dr. Chad Robbins, a Mayo Clinic-trained plastic surgeon, performs mini tummy tucks with precision and expertise. The procedure involves a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and fat below the belly button are removed, and the lower abdominal muscles are tightened to create a more contoured silhouette.

Benefits of Mini Tummy Tuck

• Less invasive than traditional tummy tuck
• Shorter recovery period
• Improved lower abdominal contour
• Enhanced body confidence
• Potential motivation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck typically ranges from 10 days to two weeks. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, which will gradually subside. Light activities can usually be resumed within a few weeks, with full recovery occurring over several months.

Cost Considerations

As an elective cosmetic procedure, mini tummy tucks are generally not covered by insurance. Robbins Plastic Surgery offers financing options through CareCredit® and Prosper Healthcare Lending to make the procedure more accessible.
