This patient struggled losing her stubborn lower belly while working out, so she opted for a mini tummy tuck to get rid of that unwanted belly "pouch". A modified version of the abdominoplasty, a mini tummy tuck removes excess, sagging tissue from the lower abdomen (below the belly button) to restore a firmer, flatter and slimmer silhouette, while still allowing us to tighten the muscle wall from any widening of the abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis) that may exist.
