Understanding Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

The lower abdomen can be notoriously challenging to tone through diet and exercise. Dr. John A Kotis specializes in mini tummy tuck procedures designed to sculpt and refine the lower abdominal region for patients in Arlington Heights and the greater Chicago area.

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck is a targeted surgical procedure focusing exclusively on the lower abdominal area. Unlike full abdominoplasty, this technique addresses specific concerns beneath the belly button, making it an ideal solution for patients with localized aesthetic challenges.

Key Benefits of Mini Tummy Tuck

  • Smaller, more discreet surgical incisions
  • No naval repositioning required
  • Shorter recovery period
  • Broader patient candidacy

Ideal Candidates for Mini Tummy Tuck in Arlington Heights

Dr. Kotis evaluates potential mini tummy tuck patients based on several key criteria:

  • Individuals in good overall health
  • Close to ideal body weight
  • No plans for future pregnancies
  • Targeting excess skin and fat below the belly button

Procedure Overview

The mini tummy tuck procedure typically takes approximately 90 minutes under general anesthesia. Dr. Kotis creates a small incision along the bikini line, removes unwanted fat, tightens underlying muscles, and carefully removes excess skin to create a smoother, more contoured lower abdomen.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to sedentary work within one week following the procedure. Dr. Kotis provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Recommended Post-Procedure Care

  • Take prescribed pain medication as directed
  • Begin gentle walking to promote circulation
  • Wear compression garments as instructed
  • Avoid strenuous activities for several weeks

Long-Term Results

With proper maintenance through healthy lifestyle choices, mini tummy tuck results can be long-lasting. Patients are encouraged to maintain stable weight and engage in regular exercise to preserve surgical outcomes.
