Question:

What is a mini-abdominoplasty (mini tuck)?

Answer:

When the amount of excess fat is minimal, and the surplus fat deposits are localised below the navel, the operation will only require a short horizontal incision. This is referred to as mini-abdominoplasty or a mini-tuck. An endoscopic abdominoplasty may be appropriate, if the patient has only a small amount of excess fat.
