I frequently get asked the question of what is the difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy
tuck? Many women come in presenting with excess in both the upper and the lower abdomen.
However Abdominoplasty or full tummy tuck can treat the entire abdomen, a mini tummy tuck
treats only the parts lower than the belly button. So most women who have had a pregnancy or
weight gain and weight loss really aren’t good candidates for a mini tummy tuck and we do the
full tummy tuck which involves tightening the muscles from the breast bone all the way down
to the *** region as well as removal of all of the excess skin between the belly button and the
bikini line. A mini tummy tuck however focuses mostly on the part below the belly button. The
muscles get tightened below and a shorter amount of skin gets removed but also the scar is also shorter.
