What Is a Full Tummy Tuck?
A full tummy tuck is a good choice for women who want to improve their entire abdominal area. It addresses loose skin, fat, and weakened muscles caused by pregnancy or weight changes.Â
During the procedure, Dr. Brown tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin to define your midsection.
Recovery typically takes about two to four weeks. Most patients can return to light activities within two weeks and resume more strenuous routines after four to six weeks. You’ll have very noticeable results that can last for many years, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is a smaller procedure for the area below the belly button. This option is better for women with minimal skin laxity or fat in the lower abdomen. It involves a smaller incision and removes excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen without affecting the area above the belly button.
While it doesn’t include muscle repair, recovery is typically quicker than with a full tummy tuck. Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume normal routines, including exercise, after about three to four weeks. A mini tummy tuck is a great choice for those who are close to their ideal body shape but want to refine their lower abdomen.
How to Choose the Right Procedure
If you’re dealing with excess skin or weakened muscles after pregnancy or weight changes, a full tummy tuck may give you the results you’re looking for. If your concerns are more limited, like a small pouch of fat or mild skin laxity below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck might be the right fit.
Factors like your lifestyle, recovery preferences, and long-term goals all play a role. Dr. Hayley Brown will assess your situation to help you make the right choice for you.Â
