In 2025, the popularity of the mini tummy tuck continues to grow among men and women looking for a flatter, tighter abdominal area—especially after weight loss or childbirth. This procedure focuses on removing excess skin and fat below the belly button, offering dramatic results with less recovery time than a full tummy tuck.
What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck, also known as a partial abdominoplasty, targets the lower abdomen below the navel. It’s ideal for those with mild to moderate skin laxity and stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
Benefits:
Smaller incision leading to less visible scars
Shorter recovery time compared to a full tummy tuck
No repositioning of the belly button required
Enhanced abdominal contouring with natural-looking results
