MINI TUMMY TUCK METAIRIE, LA | DR. JULES WALTERS - BOARD CERTIFIED
PLASTIC SURGEON

UNDERSTANDING MINI TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

When aesthetic concerns are concentrated below the belly button, a
mini tummy tuck offers a less invasive alternative to traditional
abdominoplasty. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules
Walters provides this targeted procedure for patients seeking a
sleeker, firmer lower abdominal area with shorter recovery time.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Unlike a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck focuses exclusively on
improving the lower abdominal region by:

 	* Removing excess skin and fat beneath the navel
	* Addressing sagging skin and "belly pooch"
	* Improving the appearance of C-section scars

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MINI TUMMY TUCK

Patients best suited for mini tummy tuck surgery typically share these
characteristics:

 	* Non-smokers in excellent overall health
	* Close to ideal body weight
	* Minimal abdominal muscle separation
	* No plans for future pregnancies
	* Realistic expectations about procedure outcomes

SURGICAL APPROACH IN METAIRIE

The mini tummy tuck procedure at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa
is performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 2-3 hours.
Dr. Walters makes a small incision above the pubic area, removes
excess skin, and tightens remaining tissues for a smoother contour.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck is generally faster than traditional
abdominoplasty. Most patients experience:

 	* Approximately one week of initial recovery
	* Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising
	* Return to light activities within days
	* Final results visible within 3-6 months

MINI TUMMY TUCK VS. FULL TUMMY TUCK

Key differences include surgical extent, muscle repair, and recovery
time. A mini tummy tuck is ideal for patients with minimal lower
abdominal concerns, while a full tummy tuck addresses comprehensive
abdominal reshaping.
