Mini Tummy Tuck | Mini Abdominoplasty in Newport Beach, Orange County

Tummy tucks are one of the most effective procedures for adding healthy, youthful shape to the body. But not everyone needs to undergo a full tummy tuck. Some people have bellies that have developed only a small amount of extra skin and fat that cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise. For those individuals, the answer might be a mini abdominoplasty, which most people refer to as a “mini-tummy tuck.” This procedure is an ideal choice for individuals that do not require as significant a surgery, and can help both women and men achieve a tighter abdomen to correct what diet and exercise cannot eliminate.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

As the name implies, a mini tummy tuck is simply a lesser version of the full tummy tuck. Yet unlike the full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck is mostly provided for those with abdomens that are close to their goal look, but are struggling with some extra skin and fat of the lower abdominal region. You and Dr. Agha will have to decide if a mini tummy tuck is right for you. If you are a good candidate, you will prefer a mini tummy tuck over a standard tummy tuck for the following reasons:

  • There is Less Cutting and thus Scarring – The primary benefit of this type of procedure is that scarring is minimized, thanks to a smaller incision that is often placed low down on the pubic region by Dr. Agha. The length of the mini tummy tuck incision is typically slightly longer than a C-section incision but shorter than a full tummy tuck incision. Dr. Agha customizes each incision according to what the patient needs and desires.
  • Same Naval – If the idea of a “new naval opening and shape” bothers you, the mini tummy tuck provides a better solution. Candidates generally have lower abdominal skin laxity and excess only so naval repositioning and upper abdominal skin tuck is not necessary with this procedure.
  • Less Detachment and Risk – Mini tummy tucks are smaller surgeries. Less skin and tissue are excised, the abdominal wall requires no or less tightening, and the entire procedure generally takes less than 2 hours.

Again, mini tummy tucks are for those that have some degree of skin laxity, but limited to mostly below the naval. In many patients, Dr. Agha uses liposuction with a mini tummy tuck to help even out and shape other abdominal areas such as the waist and to liposculpt the abdomen to a more three dimensional form. In some cases, the mini tummy tuck can be completed under local anesthesia with sedation only.
