The lower abdomen is one of the most common areas of concern for many people. The lower belly can remain resistant to change even with regular exercise and healthy eating. Loose skin or a small pocket of fat may create frustration when clothing does not fit as comfortably as you would like. At Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a mini tummy tuck in Silver Spring to address these concerns with precision, providing a slim and smooth contour.
Feel confident in your own skin with care tailored to your goals. Led by cosmetic surgeon Dr. Tsion Berhane, our team offers safe and effective body sculpting procedures to enhance your appearance and overall well-being.
The mini tummy tuck specifically targets problems in the lower part of the stomach, near the navel. Dr. Berhane will remove surplus skin to tighten the area and create a flat stomach. This procedure is most suitable for individuals who experience problems only in the lower part of the stomach, rather than the entire abdominal area.
A mini-abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals in Silver Spring, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, and North Bethesda who have some looseness of the lower abdominal skin or fat and are close to their ideal weight, but are unable to achieve the shape they prefer. With an area so defined, the mini tummy tuck achieves a natural, smooth enhancement with minimal downtime.
It is necessary to know how a partial abdominoplasty contrasts with a full abdominoplasty so that you can determine the best option for you. During a full tummy tuck, the surgeon removes excess skin and tightens the muscles all along the abdominal wall, sometimes including the repositioning of the navel. A mini tummy tuck only targets the lower part of the abdomen.
The benefits of a partial tummy tuck include:
Even with all these advantages, a mini tummy tuck will not satisfy individuals with high muscle separation or excess skin on the whole stomach. In such circumstances, our surgeon in Silver Spring may advise a complete tummy tuck over a partial abdominoplasty.
As with all surgeries, a partial tummy tuck does leave a scar. The procedure often involves a single incision on the lower abdomen, which can be concealed by swimsuits and underwear. Over time, the scar will lighten up and reduce in visibility.
Recovery after a mini tummy tuck surgery is typically less when compared to a full tummy tuck surgery. Patients are usually ready for light activities in one to two weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Mild discomfort and swelling are normal but will frequently dissipate as the recovery process continues. Our team in Silver Spring will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a comfortable and smooth recovery from your mini tummy tuck procedure.
If you want to improve the look of your lower stomach, a mini tummy tuck in Silver Spring may be the ideal solution. With a small scar, quick recovery, and targeted results, this surgery can help you achieve a slim figure.
