Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles to make the stomach look firmer, contoured, and flat. It is a common option after having children or losing significant weight.
Mini-Abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck) is a procedure that removes loose skin in the lower abdomen without making an incision around the belly button or tightening the muscles above the belly button. It is a common surgical option for those who do not have an excessive skin roll (pannus) on the lower abdomen but have enough loose skin warranting surgical removal.
