Rating: 5 (37 reviews)

Your precision flat tummy solution awaits.

Even with dedicated fitness efforts, loose skin and stubborn fat can remain in the lower abdomen, making it difficult to achieve a smooth, sculpted silhouette. If you’re looking for a targeted solution to restore a firmer, more toned midsection, consider a mini tummy tuck at Galanis Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills.

Artfully Crafted Tummy Tuck

You may be dealing with hanging skin and stubborn fat post-pregnancy or after a major weight loss—you still deserve to feel confident choosing body-con outfits and baring your belly in bathing suits without worrying about a pooch or belly. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Galanis has co-lead the tummy tuck course at the annual Aesthetic Society Meeting 3 years instructing surgeons from around the world on his techniques. With his help, you can discover artful procedures that work with your natural beauty to deliver lasting, refined results.

Key Benefits of the Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck (mini abdominoplasty) is a less invasive variation of a full tummy tuck, designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen while tightening the area below the belly button. This procedure is ideal for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity confined specifically to the area below the navel.

Your Mini Tummy Tuck Can:

Flatten and firm the lower abdomen for a more sculpted look.
Remove excess skin and fat that diet and exercise alone can’t address.
Offer a smaller incision and quicker recovery compared to a full tummy tuck.
Maintain a natural appearance with no repositioning of the belly button.

A Mini Tummy Tuck May Be A Great Option If You:

Have excess skin and fat exclusively in the lower abdomen.
Are at a healthy, stable weight and maintain a consistent fitness routine.
Do not have significant diastasis recti (muscle separation above the belly button).
Are a non-smoker and in overall good health.
Want a smaller scar and faster recovery than a full tummy tuck.

During your consultation with Dr. Galanis for a mini tummy tuck in Beverly Hills, he will take time to assess your anatomy and understand your goals. He’ll create an entirely customized treatment plan to help you achieve exquisite, confidence-boosting results.

Making an Informed Choice: Mini Tummy Tuck vs. Full Tummy Tuck

While both procedures enhance abdominal contours, they address different levels of skin and muscle laxity.

	Mini Tummy Tuck	Full Tummy Tuck
Target Area	Lower abdomen (below belly button)	Full abdomen (above & below belly button)
Incision Size	Smaller	Larger, from hip to hip
Muscle Tightening	Only below belly button	Full abdominal wall repair
Belly Button Repositioning	No	Yes
Recovery Time	1-2 weeks	2-4 weeks

If you have loose skin above the belly button, pronounced muscle separation from pregnancy, or excess fat in multiple areas, a full tummy tuck may be recommended instead. You can rely on Dr. Galanis' expertise to help guide you to the right choice.

The Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

Performed under general or local anesthesia, a mini tummy tuck is a precisely tailored procedure designed for optimal refinement. The entire procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.

Steps of the Procedure:

A small, discreet incision is made just above the pubic area, concealed within the bikini line.
If needed, underlying muscles are tightened to create a firmer foundation.
Liposuction may be performed to enhance sculpting and refine contours.
Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is carefully tightened.
The incision is meticulously closed, ensuring minimal scarring and smooth results.

A mini tummy tuck in Beverly Hills with Dr. Galanis may offer a faster, more comfortable recovery than a full tummy tuck.

Your final, refined abdominal contours will emerge over time, revealing a smoother, tighter, and more sculpted lower abdomen. Typically, recovery lasts 3-6 months total:

Results are visible right away, though bruising & swelling may last for a few weeks and swelling will subside over 3–6 months.
A compression garment will be worn for 6 weeks to support healing.
Most patients can expect to return to work within 7–10 days. Light activity is encouraged after a few days, but heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4 weeks.
