Mini Tummy Tuck Candidates

A mini tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure from the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery can restore a healthy abdominal wall, firmer skin and a more attractive mid-body contour. A mini tummy tuck can even reduce waist size. But not everyone is a candidate for abdominoplasty.

Appropriate mini tummy tuck candidates are men and women who have already used diet and exercise to improve their bodies, but are left with stubborn deposits of fat in the lower portion of their abdomen. Those whose mid-body fat is not located primarily below the navel, along with anyone who has significant folds of excess skin will likely require a full tummy tuck instead.

Candidates for a mini tummy tuck at South Florida Center must be over the age of 18 and mature enough to fully understand the procedure. They must be in relatively good health and want to improve the appearance and comfort of their body. Potential mini tummy tuck patients should not be severely overweight and not be planning to lose a lot of weight in the future. Women considering abdominoplasty must not be planning to have any more children, as the stomach muscles that are tightened during abdominoplasty can separate once again during pregnancy.

Anyone with existing scars on their mid-body, such as those created by a cesarean procedure, along with anyone who is concerned about the scars associated with a mini tummy tuck can find helpful information on our page What About the Scars?

Potential candidates for abdominoplasty need to have realistic expectations. Abdominoplasty can greatly enhance both your appearance and your self-confidence, but the results won’t necessarily match your fantasized ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently.
