In both mini-tummy tuck and full tummy tuck surgery, excess skin and fat are removed in order to contour your abdominal area; liposuction is also often used in conjunction with the procedure. The difference lies mainly in the extent of the surgery. In a mini-tummy tuck, the incisions are shorter, and the opening for the navel does not need to be moved, as it often does in a traditional tummy tuck. Washington, DC, and Maryland residents considering tummy tuck surgery should contact us for a consultation; we will explain your options and help you choose the procedure that would best benefit you.
