Mini Tummy Tuck
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.
What’s the Difference Between a Mini Tummy Tuck and a Full Tummy Tuck?
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.
