Partial abdominoplasty, or “mini tummy tuck”, is somewhat similar to the regular tummy tuck procedure, except it involves a shorter incision and the skin is only lifted to the level of the navel. There is no muscle tightening. This procedure is ideal for patients who need just a little improvement of the hanging fold of pannus skin in order to reach their desired results, and is often combined with abdominal liposuction. You can discuss with Dr. Pritha Rakshit the differences between full and mini-tummy tuck, as well as weigh their benefits and risks, in order to decide which procedure is best for you.
