A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals.
The mini tummy tuck is not as invasive as a full tummy tuck and only removes the excess skin (usually from just the lower abdominal area). This procedure is ideal for patients who just have loose skin, but is not appropriate for patients who have loose muscle
55-65 year old woman
Treated with Mini Tummy Tuck and IDEAL Liposuction. Patient is 5’9”, 145 lbs. She had this procedure in combination with liposuction and a Mini Tummy Tuck for a full Mommy Makeover! This procedure is ideal for patients with a “mommy pouch”, or extra skin after pregnancy or weight loss that won’t go away in spite of diet and exercise. We use a proprietary technique called liposuction as the cornerstone of our body contouring procedures. First off, these procedures are typically performed in the office, with only local anesthesia (although patients can request deeper sedation, if they so desire). We typically use Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening (Pelleve) to maximize skin contraction; and High Energy Radial Pulse Technology, RF, or subcision (Cellfina) to treat cellulite. Patients go home the day of surgery; typically do not use any narcotics postop for pain control, and are back to light exercise and work 48 hours after their procedures. In my practice, we specifically evaluate patients for these additional treatments, and select the appropriate treatment based on their skin quality, amount of fat, previous treatment(s), and surgical goals. Combining liposuction with a mini tummy tuck is an amazing combination!!!

Liposuction Patient 8
45-54 year old woman treated with Brazilian Butt Lift, 360 IDEAL lipo, and Mini Tummy Tuck! Patient is 5’7”, 180 lbs. She had this procedure in combination with liposuction and a Mini Tummy Tuck for a full Mommy Makeover! This procedure is ideal for patients who want to get their pre-baby body back, and give them rounder, fuller buttocks than they had previously. It can also be repeated, for patients that want a further increase in size. We use a proprietary technique called liposuction as the cornerstone of our liposuction and fat grafting procedures. First off, these procedures use all-FDA approved surgical and fat transfer instrumentation. They are typically performed in the office, with only local anesthesia (although patients can request deeper sedation, if they so desire). We typically use Laser Liposuction or VASER (ultrasound) to reduce dense, fibrous fat, and stimulate collagen formation; Radiofrequency-based skin tightening (Pelleve) to maximize skin contraction; and High Energy Radial Pulse Technology (ZWave), RF, or subcision (Cellfina) to treat cellulite. Patients go home the day of surgery; typically do not use any narcotics postop for pain control, and are back to light exercise and work 48 hours after their procedures. In my practice, we specifically evaluate patients for these additional treatments, and select the appropriate treatment based on their skin quality, amount of fat, previous treatment(s), and surgical goals. Combining liposuction with fat transfer and a mini tummy tuck is a total mommy makeover!
