MINI TUMMY TUCK LONG BEACH, CA | KEITH A. HURVITZ, M.D.

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a targeted surgical
procedure designed for patients in good physical condition with
localized abdominal concerns that cannot be resolved through diet and
exercise alone.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

 	* Anesthesia Type: General
	* Facility: Outpatient surgical center
	* Recovery Time: Return to work in two weeks
	* Physical Exercise Resume: Six weeks post-procedure

DETAILED PROCEDURE TECHNIQUES

The mini tummy tuck focuses specifically on the lower abdomen,
involving precise incisions, strategic liposuction, muscle tightening
with internal sutures, and minimal skin trimming. The incision is
smaller compared to a full tummy tuck, with proportionally less fat
and skin removal.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

Optimal candidates include patients with minimal skin laxity and
stubborn fat deposits. Individuals with extensive skin excess or fat
deposits above and below the bellybutton may not be suitable
candidates. Non-smokers are preferred for this surgical procedure.

SURGICAL CONSULTATION PROCESS

During the consultation, Dr. Hurvitz will comprehensively review the
patient's medical history, current medications, and health status.
Expectations, procedural details, and post-surgical recovery will be
thoroughly discussed.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The mini tummy tuck procedure involves general anesthesia, a 4-8 inch
strategic incision, removal of excess skin and fat, muscle tightening,
and precise suturing. Post-surgical drainage may be implemented to
manage fluid accumulation.

IMMEDIATE POST-SURGICAL CARE

Following the procedure, the abdominal area will be cleaned and
secured with a post-surgical compression garment. Patients will
receive prescription pain management and antibiotic medications, with
specific instructions for fluid drainage and managing swelling.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect reduced energy, localized discomfort, and
temporary limitations in mobility during the initial recovery period.
Most individuals can return to work within two to three weeks, with
complete physical activity resumption at six weeks.

COST CONSIDERATIONS

The total cost of a mini tummy tuck varies based on individual
surgical requirements, procedure complexity, and potential financial
assistance options. A personalized consultation with Dr. Hurvitz will
provide a comprehensive cost assessment.
