A mini-tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that removes loose skin from the lower part of the abdomen between the navel and the pubic mound. It is recommended for individuals with a small amount of excess fat in the midsection who are at or near their goal weight.
Maybe pregnancy has left your midsection with loose skin and mildly separated stomach muscles. You may even experience minor fluctuations in weight that have led to stubborn excess fat in your abdomen. For individuals who carry excess fat but less than what is required for treatment with a full tummy tuck, then a mini abdominoplasty may be for you! A mini-tummy tuck can help you attain smoother, flatter, sleeker abdominal contours.
Dr. Mustafa Ahmed and the Las Vegas Body Sculpting team have helped many women and men improve their body’s aesthetics and functionality with a full slate of customizable cosmetic and restorative procedures. A mini-tummy tuck has given our patients the last-mile results that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve. If you are interested in seeing if a mini-tummy tuck is right for you, contact our Las Vegas office today at (702) 447-1257 or through our online contact form.
A mini-tummy tuck offers similar results to a full-tummy tuck. The only difference is that patients who undergo a mini-tummy tuck have less resistant fat on their abdomen, and aesthetic concerns are concentrated beneath the navel. A mini-tummy tuck can help people at or near their target weight flatten a “pooch.” It may also minimize stretch marks located on excess skin. Performed with liposuction, the procedure can also attain a more defined and sculpted appearance with high patient satisfaction.
A mini-tummy tuck cannot correct diastasis recti, a condition common in many pregnant and postpartum women. Diastasis recti involves the separation of the abdominal muscles. Because this condition often affects both the upper and lower abdomen, a full tummy tuck is a better option to treat this condition.
Benefits of a mini tummy tuck include:

Like a full procedure, a mini-tummy tuck is not a solution for weight loss. It is a body contouring procedure that streamlines the aesthetics and function of the lower abdomen.

To prepare for a mini tummy tuck, you should:
A mini tummy tuck will take between one and three hours. The procedure is as follows:
After your procedure, you will need to be driven home by a pre-designated driver. You will likely experience mild discomfort in the initial days as you recover, with your abdomen feeling tender to touch. You will also receive a compression garment. You should wear this garment for four to six weeks. We recommend returning to work after about two weeks. You should also perform only gentle activities six weeks after surgery. After this time period, you may resume more strenuous activities. Additionally, you will attend regular follow-up appointments to track your recovery.
Our patients are pleased with a mini-tummy tuck’s subtle yet dramatic results. This minimally invasive procedure improves the overall appearance with a well-sculpted, flat abdomen. With proper care, results can last a lifetime. You should adopt a well-balanced diet with plenty of exercise to maintain results. Individuals who undergo a mini-tummy tuck may experience some or all of the following improvements:
Liposuction, in combination with a mini-tummy tuck, can provide a more aesthetically pleasing and functional abdomen. It will achieve more defined contours as a result of the precision required to suction excess fat from targeted points on the lower abdomen.
The cost of a tummy tuck will vary among patients and will be impacted by each individual’s specific needs. Abdominoplasty, whether partial (mini) or full, is considered an elective cosmetic procedure and likely won’t be covered by an insurance provider. We can provide you with an approximate quote and financing options in a one-on-one consultation.
