What is the short access tummy tuck (SATT) procedure?
A short access tummy tuck, or mini tummy tuck, is used for patients with small amounts of excess skin and fat on the abdomen and that are also in need of liposuction. A small incision is made above the pubis and around the belly button; the excess skin is removed through these incisions, the muscles are tightened, and liposuction is performed. This procedure is popular among both men and women.
