Sometimes, even exercise and diet are not enough to get rid of that annoying little pooch that forms on your belly. Often, this stubborn remainder of fat and excess skin does not require an extensive procedure but can be managed with a mini tummy tuck. At Newvue Plastic Surgery, our experts will work with you to determine if this body sculpting procedure would be a fitting option for you. If you are interested in a mini tummy tuck in Seattle, we are here to help.
A mini tummy tuck flattens the lower abdomen and often can be a help in getting rid of the pooch and excess skin that tends to form in the lower belly region, usually between the belly button and the pubic area. While a mini tummy tuck affects the belly button region, it will not change the belly button, whereas a full abdominoplasty does affect the location of your belly button.
The procedure works by suturing together the muscles of the lower abdomen—this is not visible on the outside. Sometimes, liposuction is a part of the process to help remove excess fat that may be in the region. To finish the procedure, excess skin gets trimmed to size and laid flat.
If you wish to pursue a Seattle mini tummy tuck, the team at Newvue Plastic Surgery will explain the procedure to you beforehand so you know what to expect during the process.
A mini tummy tuck is perfect for patients in Seattle who are in their recommended weight range but have a bit of stubborn fat and excess skin remaining in the stomach. This pooch and sagging skin may be from quick weight gain, or it could even be from pregnancy. The real marker is if this area does not respond to diet and exercise. If stubborn fat and extra skin are bothering you, our skilled providers can help you determine if a mini tummy tuck might be a good fit.
If you decide a mini tummy tuck is right for you, you should know that you will be asked to wear an abdominal binder for several weeks in an effort to support your abs as they heal. Specific changes will vary from patient to patient in Seattle, but the mini tummy tuck typically results in:
Some results may appear immediately, but it is common to experience some swelling after the procedure. Most results will be visible after the swelling resides in a timespan of around six weeks, with the results being permanent, excluding personal weight gain or pregnancy. Our providers will work with you to discuss how you can optimize your results in the long term.
Not every patient who is interested in weight loss surgery will need a full abdominoplasty. If it is a smaller area of stubborn fat and excess skin you find yourself struggling with, a mini tummy tuck may be the ideal treatment for you. We are dedicated to partnering with patients who are interested in a mini tummy tuck in Seattle to help them enjoy their ideal appearance. We will meet to discuss your health history and goals for the procedure to make sure you receive the highest level of personalized care on your journey to wellness.
