When you’re researching things like “Tummy Tuck Near Me” or “Tummy Tuck Doctors Near Me” online, it’s likely that you will find information on different types of tummy tucks—and you might be unsure as to which type is best suited for you or how they compare. If you are thinking about having a mini tummy tuck in the Milwaukee and Madison area, our team can guide you on how this type of tummy tuck (or “belly tuck,” “tummy lift,” or “stomach tuck,” as some patients call it) compares to a traditional tummy tuck. Keep reading for advice on what you can expect before and after tummy tuck surgery.
For more details on how a full tummy tuck compares to a mini tummy tuck for Milwaukee or Madison area patients, contact Dr. Maida Parkins' friendly staff at (262) 269-1050 today, or send a message online to request a consultation.
A mini tummy tuck, also known as a partial abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen. Unlike a full tummy tuck, which involves reshaping the entire abdominal area, a mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower region, below the belly button. The surgery is designed to tighten the area between the belly button and pubic area only on the abdomen.
This procedure is ideal for individuals with limited sagging skin and muscle laxity, as opposed to separated muscles (or diastasis recti) or significant sagging that would require belly apron surgery. The incision is typically smaller, and the recovery time is shorter compared to a full tummy tuck. While a mini tummy tuck provides a less extensive solution and is less invasive than a full tummy tuck, it may not be suitable for patients requiring more comprehensive abdominal rejuvenation. Another difference is that the cost of a mini tummy tuck will generally be lower than that of a full tummy tuck.
If you would like more tummy tuck cost information, to get more information about recovery after a tummy tuck, plus-size tummy tuck considerations, or to receive more advice on the subject of tummy tucks and belly button tightening and reshaping, we can explain everything patients will need to know before and after tummy tuck surgery.
Although you can have a tummy tuck for loose skin, lots of people also want to address stubborn, excess fat on the waistline when they have a tummy tuck after weight loss or pregnancy. Parkins Plastic Surgery offers a variety of cosmetic surgery procedures to shape body contours, including a combined tummy tuck and “lipo” or liposuction procedure to optimize tummy tuck results by removing more unwanted fat, liposuction on its own as a standalone surgery, breast augmentation, breast lift, Mommy Makeover surgery, and more.
A mini tummy tuck is just one option for achieving a flatter, slimmer abdominal area. Some patients also decide to look into “non-surgical tummy tuck” approaches for tightening skin or removing fat. Note that the results from non-surgical options are not as dramatic or comprehensive as is possible with surgery.
