Research Notes on Partial Abdominoplasty


Partial Abdominoplasty or 'mini tummy tuck' is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat and skin below the belly button. 1 This makes your stomach flatter, it is not for weight loss.2 You should not have a partial abdominoplasty until you have lost all the weight you are wanting to and you are done having children.3

Fast Facts:

  • Unlike a regular abdominoplasty, you may get to keep your own belly button.2
  • The incision is smaller than a regular abdominoplasty.4
  • Requires one to two hours of surgery. 5
  • As time and age takes it toll, you may need another surgery later to maintain the results.6
  • Smoking can decrease the skins ability to heal, and cause scarring.7
