MINI ABDOMINOPLASTY OVERVIEW

A mini tummy tuck, also known as mini abdominoplasty, is a targeted
cosmetic procedure designed to address specific lower abdominal
concerns. This surgical intervention focuses on reducing excess lower
abdominal skin and fat that cannot be resolved through diet and
exercise alone.

KEY BENEFITS OF MINI TUMMY TUCK

 	* Decreases excess lower abdominal skin
	* Reduces lower abdominal fat deposits
	* Minimizes the appearance of stretch marks
	* Tightens lower abdominal muscles
	* Provides a smoother, more contoured lower abdomen

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

The optimal candidate for a mini tummy tuck in Utah typically exhibits
the following characteristics:

 	* Excess lower abdominal skin and fat post-pregnancy or weight loss
	* Stable upper abdominal skin condition
	* Unable to improve abdominal appearance through diet and exercise
	* Non-smoker with good physical health
	* Maintains a stable body weight

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a mini tummy tuck at Grant A. Fairbanks MD, the surgical
approach involves creating an incision in the lower abdominal crease.
This technique often allows for the removal of a prior C-section scar.
Only the lower portion of abdominal skin is removed, and separated
rectus abdominis muscles may be realigned using specialized suturing
techniques.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Incision made in lower abdominal crease
	* Potential removal of existing C-section scar
	* Limited skin and fat removal from lower abdomen
	* Muscle realignment if necessary
	* Navel remains in original position

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck is generally less intensive compared
to a full abdominoplasty. Patients can expect some initial discomfort
that diminishes over time. Typically, one to two weeks of work
recovery is recommended, with a compressive garment worn for
approximately six weeks.

POST-PROCEDURE GUIDELINES

 	* Pain management with prescribed medications
	* Wear compressive garment for 6 weeks
	* Avoid strenuous activities for initial recovery period
	* Gradual return to normal activities
	* Scar will fade over 12 months
