Refine and Tighten Your Midsection with Mini Abdominoplasty in Jacksonville, FL

Restore Confidence and Definition 

A mini abdominoplasty, often called a mini tummy tuck, is a less extensive version of a traditional tummy tuck designed to smooth and tighten the lower abdomen. This procedure is ideal for patients who have mild to moderate skin laxity or a small amount of excess fat below the belly button.



At our Jacksonville plastic surgery practice, mini abdominoplasty is performed with precision to achieve a flatter, firmer midsection and improved contour while keeping recovery time and scarring to a minimum.

Understanding Mini Abdominoplasty

Mini abdominoplasty focuses on the area between the navel and the pubic line. Unlike a full tummy tuck, it does not involve repositioning the belly button or tightening muscles across the entire abdomen. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with good upper abdominal tone who primarily struggle with lower abdominal fullness or loose skin.

Ideal Candidates

  • Have good overall health and maintain stable weight
  • Experience mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower abdomen
  • Have minimal muscle separation or fullness below the navel
  • Do not require full abdominal tightening
  • Have realistic expectations for results

Benefits of Liposuction

  • Flattens and firms the lower abdomen
  • Removes small pockets of stubborn fat and excess skin
  • Creates a smoother, more youthful silhouette
  • Requires a smaller incision and shorter recovery than a full tummy tuck
  • Improves comfort and confidence in clothing

Preparing for Your Mini Abdominoplasty Journey

What to Expect with Mini Abdominoplasty Surgery

Mini abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and usually takes one to two hours. During the procedure, a small incision is made low on the abdomen, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. The underlying muscles may be tightened if needed, and the incision is closed with fine sutures for a smooth result.



Since the correction is limited to the lower abdomen, recovery is faster and discomfort is typically milder compared to a full tummy tuck. Most patients return home the same day and are back to light activities within one week.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from mini abdominoplasty is typically quicker than from a traditional tummy tuck. Most patients return to work and light activities within one week and resume full exercise after four to six weeks.



You will notice immediate improvement in abdominal tightness, with results continuing to refine as swelling decreases. The outcome is a smoother, flatter abdomen that enhances confidence and clothing fit. With a healthy lifestyle and stable weight, results can last for many years.
