Mini Tummy Tuck vs. a Traditional Tummy Tuck
Choosing between a Mini Tummy Tuck and a Traditional Tummy Tuck depends on your specific needs and desired outcomes. At Capella Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joseph F. Capella is an expert in body contouring, and he can help you understand which procedure is right for you.
The Mini Tummy Tuck is a less invasive procedure that focuses on the area below the belly button. It requires a smaller incision and a shorter recovery time than the Traditional Tummy Tuck. If you have concerns limited to only the lower abdomen, this procedure may be the best option for you.
The traditional tummy tuck is a more comprehensive procedure that is better suited for people with broader issues involving both the upper and lower abdomen. Dr. Capella can help you decide which procedure is right for your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
It's important to note that choosing the right procedure is vital for achieving optimal results. A Mini Tummy Tuck is best suited to patients who have minimal amounts of loose skin. The traditional tummy tuck is better suited to patients who want to address more extensive sagging skin. During your initial consultation, you and your doctor thoroughly discuss your goals and determine the procedure that is best for you.
