Mini Tummy Tuck in Plano, TX

A mini tummy tuck is a more localized type of abdominoplasty that tightens loose skin and improves the contour around your lower abdominal wall. Unlike a full tummy tuck, this procedure focuses only on the area below the belly button.

A mini tummy tuck typically involves:

• Removing excess skin in the lower abdomen
• Tightening mild lower abdominal laxity
• Improving the contour of the lower stomach
• Creating a flatter abdominal profile
• Using a smaller incision than a traditional tummy tuck

Because the treatment area is limited, the belly button usually does not need repositioning, and you do not need full abdominal reconstruction. This allows for a more conservative procedure with a shorter recovery.

A mini tummy tuck offers improvement within a targeted area, making it appealing for patients with mild to moderate concerns. This procedure is especially popular for cases of post-pregnancy, mild weight loss, or age-related skin laxity.

Benefits may include:

• A flatter lower abdomen
• Reduced loose skin below the belly button
• A smaller incision than a normal tummy tuck
• Faster recovery timeline
• Subtle, natural-looking contouring
• Improved clothing fit
• Long-lasting results with stable weight

A mini tummy tuck is best for those with specific lower abdominal concerns, especially sagging skin. During your consultation, Dr. Obasi will evaluate your anatomy and goals to confirm your candidacy.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have excess skin or abdominal fat below the belly button
• Are close to your ideal body weight
• Have mild lower abdominal bulging
• Want a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck
• Do not need extensive muscle repair
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations

This procedure is not designed for significant weight loss. Patients with more extensive skin laxity may benefit from a full tummy tuck instead.
