Our Procedure
A Mini Tummy Tuck, also known as a partial abdominoplasty, is a less invasive alternative to a full tummy tuck designed to address excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen below the belly button. This procedure is ideal for patients who have good skin elasticity in the upper abdomen but struggle with a small pooch or loose skin in the lower abdominal area.
Unlike a full tummy tuck, which addresses the entire abdominal area, a mini tummy tuck focuses specifically on the area between the pubic region and the navel. The procedure involves a shorter incision, less tissue removal, and typically does not require repositioning of the belly button.
At Neoderma Clinica, our expert surgeons perform mini tummy tucks with meticulous attention to detail, creating natural-looking results with a shorter recovery time and less scarring than a traditional abdominoplasty.

What to expect after a mini tummy tuck:
A mini tummy tuck addresses only the area below the belly button, while a full tummy tuck treats both the upper and lower abdomen. The mini procedure involves a shorter incision (typically half the length), doesn't require repositioning the navel, and focuses on the lower abdominal muscles only if needed. Recovery is generally faster with less scarring. A full tummy tuck is more comprehensive, with a hip-to-hip incision, navel repositioning, and complete abdominal muscle repair. The best option depends on your specific concerns, anatomy, and the amount of excess skin and fat present.
