Patients are often interested in sculpting their figure, but some may not require a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck is a surgical option for people who wish to address fat, loose skin, or separated abdominal muscles in the lower stomach.
At Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Tsion Berhane and our team provide compassionate, customized care. Our mission is to help you look and feel your best—both inside and out. We will help you determine if a mini tummy tuck in Washington DC fits your unique needs, and we will support you throughout the surgical process.
Our Washington DC mini tummy tuck targets the lower part of your stomach, between your belly button and pubic area. Our goal is to address excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles in the area.
Benefits of a mini tummy tuck include improved contour of your lower abdomen, reduced sagging skin, and tighter abdominal muscles. You may notice a shorter scar and recovery time compared to a traditional tummy tuck.
A full tummy tuck addresses a larger area of the stomach and benefits individuals who wish to flatten their stomach from the rib cage down. A full tummy tuck usually changes the position of your belly button. It can more effectively correct abdominal muscles that have separated because of pregnancy.

Results from a mini tummy tuck are usually best for people close to their goal weight and not planning on becoming pregnant.
Dr. Berhane will explain each step of your mini tummy tuck surgery to help you feel confident about your care in Washington DC.
General anesthesia ensures your comfort during a mini tummy tuck. The procedure involves an incision between four to eight inches long. If you have had a cesarean section (C-section), we may use the same incision during your mini tummy tuck.
Once the incision is made, Dr. Berhane tightens loose muscles and removes excess skin. The procedure typically takes around an hour and flattens your lower stomach.
Most mini tummy tuck recipients resume regular activities in DC after two to three weeks. During recovery, you may experience soreness or tightness in your abdomen, discomfort at your incision site, and some swelling or bruising.
Our team at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery will help you know what to expect. We will also let you know how to care for yourself throughout your recovery.
