What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
Many times, we see patients who are very close to achieving their weight loss goals, but they struggle to lose the “pouch” of fat on their lower abdomen. Whether it’s from genetics, pregnancy, or another factor, our team at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates can help you eliminate the pouch and reveal your sculpted, smooth stomach.
A mini tummy tuck in Oklahoma City accomplishes the same goals as a traditional tummy tuck but uses smaller incisions to reduce scarring and healing time.

What To Expect From a Mini Tummy Tuck
01
Consultation
Before undergoing any of our procedures, you meet with one of our experienced doctors to learn about your options for treatment. You’ll talk one-on-one about what you would like to change while your doctor listens carefully. They will present you with your surgical and nonsurgical options, and help you decide which one is best for you.
02
Preparation
Once you’ve decided, you and your provider will discuss what you can expect for your mini tummy tuck in Oklahoma City. You’ll have the chance to ask plenty of questions and receive all the tools and resources you need for the procedure. Your doctor will also explain the process for general anesthesia and what you can expect.
03
Procedure
Techniques of both full abdominoplasty and mini tummy tuck can be very similar. However, your doctor may use a smaller incision with the mini tummy tuck since it covers a smaller area. They may also use liposuction with this surgery. During the procedure, your doctor removes excess skin and pulls the remaining skin tight for a flat appearance.
04
Recovery
You’ll leave our facility with aftercare instructions to help you rest and heal at home. Your provider will schedule a follow-up appointment to check your incisions are healing well and results are appearing as planned. While recovery is shorter than a traditional tummy tuck, the recovery period can take up to 6 weeks.

Mini Tummy Tuck FAQs
We can perform a mini tummy tuck if a patient has an existing C-section scar. Typically, the incision made with a mini tummy tuck will be just below the C-section scar. With this new incision, we remove the loose skin. The area will be pulled tight, combining the two incisions into one. This new incision line will heal nicely and can be concealed under bathing suits and undergarments.
We would recommend waiting to receive a mini tummy tuck in Oklahoma City if you still plan on having more children. Pregnancy after a tummy tuck can compromise the surgical results.
