Mini-Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is a modified and less invasive form of the traditional abdominoplasty procedure. Like a full tummy tuck, it aims to tighten and strengthen the abdominal muscles and remove excess skin tissues, however the bellybutton is not moved and the muscle tightening is limited to the lower abdomen. This procedure may be ideal for patients that have laxity of the lower abdomen but are relatively flat in the upper abdomen. More extensive liposuction is able to be performed as well.

Procedure Overview
The mini-tuck focuses on the area below the navel, tightening skin and underlying tissue to create a firmer, flatter lower abdomen. It’s less invasive than a full tummy tuck, making it ideal for patients who do not require extensive abdominal correction.
Your mini-tuck consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Griffin evaluates your abdominal tone, skin elasticity, and overall goals. He will discuss whether a mini-tuck or another procedure is best suited to your needs, and explain what to expect in terms of results, scarring, and recovery.
What to expect
The procedure is performed under anesthesia and involves a small, discreet incision low on the abdomen. Excess skin is removed and the underlying muscles tightened if necessary. Swelling and mild discomfort are common in the first days, and most patients return to daily activities within a week.

Mini-Tuck FAQs
Below are simple answers to the most common questions about mini-tuck surgery.
Who is a good candidate for a mini-tuck?
Ideal candidates have mild lower abdominal sagging and good skin elasticity, often after minor weight fluctuations or childbirth.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within a week, with full recovery over a few weeks.
Will the scar be visible?
The incision is small and positioned low on the abdomen, easily hidden under clothing or swimwear.
Can it replace a full tummy tuck?
No. A mini-tuck addresses the lower abdomen only. Patients with significant skin laxity or muscle separation may require a full tummy tuck.
Can liposuction be added?
Yes. Liposuction can be combined to enhance contour and refine results in the lower abdomen.
