MINI TUMMY TUCK METAIRIE, LA | DR. JULES WALTERS - BOARD CERTIFIED
PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

When aesthetic concerns are concentrated below the belly button, a
mini tummy tuck offers a less invasive alternative to traditional
abdominoplasty. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules
Walters provides this targeted procedure for patients seeking a
sleeker, firmer lower abdominal area with shorter recovery time.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck focuses exclusively on
improving the lower abdominal region by:

 	* Removing excess skin and fat beneath the navel
	* Addressing sagging skin and "belly pooch"
	* Improving the appearance of C-section scars

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

Patients best suited for mini tummy tuck surgery typically share these
characteristics:

 	* Non-smokers in excellent overall health
	* Close to ideal body weight
	* Minimal abdominal muscle separation
	* No plans for future pregnancies
	* Realistic expectations about procedure outcomes

SURGICAL APPROACH IN METAIRIE

The mini tummy tuck procedure at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa
is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 2-3 hours.
Dr. Walters makes a small incision above the pubic area, removes
excess skin, and tightens remaining tissues for a smoother contour.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck is generally faster than traditional
abdominoplasty. Most patients experience:

 	* Approximately one week of initial recovery
	* Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising
	* Return to light activities within days
	* Final results visible within 3-6 months

MINI TUMMY TUCK VS. FULL TUMMY TUCK

Key differences include surgical extent, muscle repair, and recovery
time. A mini tummy tuck is ideal for patients with minimal lower
abdominal concerns, while a full tummy tuck addresses comprehensive
abdominal reshaping.

SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY IN METAIRIE

At the Modern Plastic Surgery & Medspa, Dr. Jules Walters uses
abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, to help both women and men
tighten abdominal skin and achieve a dramatically leaner, slimmer
look. Loose, wrinkled skin and stubborn fat deposits can be
challenging to eliminate through diet and exercise alone.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

Tummy tuck surgery is an excellent option for individuals experiencing
abdominal skin laxity due to various factors:

 	* Significant weight fluctuations
	* Aging
	* Genetic predisposition
	* Previous pregnancies
	* Prior surgical procedures

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE DETAILS

The abdominoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia,
with incision size and shape determined by the extent of excess skin.
Techniques include:

 	* Extended tummy tuck for significant skin excess
	* Mini tummy tuck for minimal skin laxity
	* Combination with liposuction for optimal body contouring

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

After the tummy tuck, patients will wear a compression garment to
minimize swelling. Initial recovery involves limited mobility, with
most patients resuming normal activities within two weeks. Full
workout routines can typically be resumed 4-6 weeks post-surgery,
pending Dr. Walters' approval.

COMPREHENSIVE BODY CONTOURING

Patients considering a tummy tuck after childbirth might explore
combining the procedure with breast enhancement surgeries like
augmentation or lift, creating a comprehensive mommy makeover
approach.

POTENTIAL TUMMY TUCK BENEFITS

 	* Tightened abdominal skin
	* Reduced midsection weight
	* Improved body contours
	* Enhanced self-confidence

MICHELLE MANNING EAGAN MD

WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

Loose skin and stubborn fat in the abdominal region can feel
frustrating despite diet and exercise efforts. Pregnancy, weight loss,
and aging frequently impact a person's ability to achieve a tighter,
slimmer tummy. A tummy tuck reshapes the stomach area, producing
youthful-looking results and renewing patient confidence.

BENEFITS OF ABDOMINOPLASTY IN METAIRIE

 	* Extensive experience in body contouring procedures

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Abdominoplasty effectively treats both women and men feeling
self-conscious about loose abdominal skin or excess fat. Dr. Eagan
recommends patients be at a healthy weight, understanding that the
procedure is not a weight loss solution. For optimal results, patients
should be past pregnancy and have realistic expectations about
surgical outcomes.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Tummy tuck surgery involves general anesthesia and carefully selected
incision techniques based on individual skin laxity. Procedures range
from full abdominoplasty to minimally invasive techniques, always
involving excess skin excision and potential liposuction to achieve
desired contouring.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery typically involves wearing a compression
garment and gradually resuming normal activities. Patients can
generally return to routine within two weeks, with full workout
resumption around two months, pending Dr. Eagan's approval.
