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.
Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini-abdominoplasty addresses only the lower abdomen below the belly button, removing excess skin and repairing lower abdominal muscles.
Many women find that after pregnancy they have excess fat and drooping skin in the lower abdomen. A mini-abdominoplasty is often performed as part of a Mommy Makeover, which may include other procedures such as:
If you are interested in a Mommy Makeover that includes facial plastic surgery, Dr. Stratis’s partner, Dr. Scott Gayner, is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and will perform consultations and surgery with Dr. Stratis.
It will probably be about 6 weeks after surgery before you can resume strenuous activities; however, you should be able to return to work and mild activity before that time.
Although the results of a mini-abdominoplasty are not as comprehensive as those that can be achieved through the full procedure, many patients find that it is all that they need to give them the improvements they want. As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, the results of your mini-abdominoplasty will be long-lasting.
Your first step to getting the flatter stomach you want is requesting a consultation with Dr. Stratis using the online form. You can also call our office directly at (717) 728-1700 to schedule an appointment.
