What Can Be Achieved with a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini-abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck consists of tightening the skin of the lower half of the abdominal wall just below the umbilicus. Liposuction is also sometimes used where necessary to thin out the rest of the abdominal wall and plication or tightening of the fascia that covers the recti muscles. These muscles tend to become stretched and pulled apart by increased tension from inside the abdominal cavity which is usually caused by pregnancy.
