Overview
Mini Tummy Tuck in West Palm Beach
A mini tummy tuck addresses excess skin and mild laxity limited to the lower abdomen below the navel — ideal for patients who have achieved significant results through diet and exercise but are bothered by a persistent lower abdominal pouch.
Unlike a full abdominoplasty, the mini tummy tuck uses a shorter incision and focuses exclusively on the lower abdomen. The belly button position is not altered. Lower abdominal skin is excised, and limited muscle tightening may be performed below the navel. Recovery is notably quicker than a full tummy tuck.

Best suited for patients near their ideal weight who have isolated lower abdominal excess — not those with significant skin laxity extending above the navel, muscle separation above the navel, or a large amount of excess skin.
The Procedure
Performed under general anesthesia in one to two hours. A short incision above the pubic area is used. The navel remains in place.
Recovery & Results
Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks. Compression garments are worn for several weeks. Recovery is notably shorter than a full tummy tuck.
