Question:
What makes a mini tummy tuck different from a regular one?
Answer:
The most important difference between a mini tummy tuck and a regular tummy tuck is that the belly button is not repositioned in a mini tummy tuck.
Mini tummy tucks are reserved for patients whose skin and fat excess remain below the level of the belly button. When the majority of the excess skin, fat or stretch marks are limited to the area below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck may be of benefit. However, if there is a significant amount of excess skin, fat or stretch marks above the belly button, a mini tummy tuck will not be an adequate treatment.
In addition, in patients whose rectus muscles, which are the abdominal muscles that go from the ribcage down to the pubic area, have weakened these need to be tightened through a full tummy tuck.

"I have had great results with two procedures and would love a third! I would highly recommend Dr. Kenneth Siporin--and I have. I am greatly appreciative of Ken and all the staff there. I have always had a blast and felt very comfortable with Dr. Siporin. I know my father really enjoyed his experience and outcome as well."
