Mini Tummy Tuck Phoenix, AZ | Jude LaBarbera MD Plastic Surgery of Phoenix

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive surgical procedure targeting the lower abdomen. Dr. LaBarbera specializes in removing excess skin and fat below the belly button through a smaller incision compared to traditional tummy tucks.

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck

• Individuals with mild to moderate lower abdominal skin laxity
• Patients with localized fat deposits in the lower belly
• Women post-pregnancy seeking body contouring
• Individuals with good skin elasticity

Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview

During the procedure, Dr. LaBarbera makes a horizontal incision above the pubic area. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and lower abdominal muscles may be tightened to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

Benefits of Mini Tummy Tuck

• Shorter surgical time
• Minimal scarring
• Quicker recovery compared to full abdominoplasty
• Targeted lower abdominal correction

Recovery Expectations

Most patients return to light activities within 7-14 days. Complete recovery and final results are typically seen 3-6 months post-procedure. Dr. LaBarbera provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions.

Cost Considerations

Mini tummy tuck costs in Phoenix range from $3,500 to $7,000, depending on individual surgical requirements. Financing options are available to help patients manage expenses.
