Mini Abdominoplasty
A mini abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) helps women from Harrisburg, Lancaster, and York, PA, improve the contour of their lower tummy area, but is less extensive than a full abdominoplasty. This procedure is designed to remove some excess skin and fat, and tighten the lower abdominal muscles.

Mini Tummy Tuck Results

As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results of your mini abdominoplasty will be long lasting.
