Clark Institute for Aesthetics: Expertise in Mini Abdominoplasty

At Clark Institute for Aesthetics, every mini tummy tuck is approached with precision, safety, and artistry. Serving Orlando and Winter Park, FL, our board-certified and board eligible surgeons combine surgical expertise with personalized care to create results that reflect your natural proportions and restore confidence.

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

Unlike a traditional abdominoplasty, a mini tummy tuck specifically addresses the lower stomach, between the belly button and pubic area. It is ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity who don’t require a full tummy tuck. This procedure can effectively:

Flatten and smooth the lower abdomen
Remove small amounts of excess skin and fat
Tighten stretched or weakened abdominal muscles
Improve the definition without repositioning the belly button

The Benefits of a Mini Tummy Tuck

Reduces small pockets of skin and fat resistant to exercise
Requires less downtime compared to a full abdominoplasty
Provides lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle

About Mini Tummy Tuck Candidacy

A consultation with our surgeons helps determine if this procedure is right for you. Ideal candidates are in good health, maintain a stable weight, and experience loose skin or laxity only in the lower abdomen. If more extensive correction is needed, a full tummy tuck may be recommended.

Step-by-Step: How a Mini Tummy Tuck Is Performed

Anesthesia is administered for complete comfort.
A small incision, typically similar in length to a C-section scar, is made along the lower abdomen.
Muscles are tightened to reinforce abdominal tone.
Excess skin and fat are removed with precision.
The incision is closed, and the area is dressed for recovery.

Recovery Timeline and Expected Results

Patients may need to wear a compression garment to support healing. Mild swelling and bruising are common in the first weeks, but most return to daily activities within two to three weeks. Final results typically become visible at six weeks, revealing a smoother, firmer lower abdomen.
