Mini Tummy Tuck – St. Louis
After child rearing, weight fluctuations, or genetics, your lower tummy skin may not be as taut as you would like. You may feel good about your weight and body overall but may have extra skin accumulated low on the belly. Many women notice excess tissue or stretch marks below the belly button when wearing panties, a bikini, or while doing planks. A mini tummy tuck eliminates excess skin and reconnects abdominal muscles that have separated to give you a tighter, more sculpted tummy, giving you confidence both in and out of clothing.
What You Can Expect
ProcedureWhat does the procedure entail?
A mini tummy tuck is needed when the excess skin is concentrated below the belly button. It is often used to correct c-section scar deformities or low hanging skin. It does not focus on the upper abdomen musculature or belly button.
Alternatives Are there any alternatives?
Dr. Gurley will let you know if a tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck, or liposuction is best for you, given your anatomy and your goals.
RecoveryWhat can I expect?
We support patients through their mini tummy tuck recovery process, and encourage them to take notice of the small but gradual improvements that occur as each day goes by. The recovery process for a mini tummy tuck is shorter than a full tummy tuck, with most people making a full recovery 1-2 weeks after surgery.
CandidatesWho is a good candidate?
