A "mini-tummy tuck" improves the lower belly with less extensive surgery. Are you mainly bothered by a “pooch” or loose skin and stretch marks below the belly button, or a C-section s car? A mini-tummy tuck may be a good option for you. This technique involves a single incision made just above the pubic mound, through which your cosmetic surgeon will tighten loose muscles (flattening the “pooch”) and remove excess skin to restore a smooth, flat abdominal wall.
The resulting scar from a mini-tummy tuck is a thin, horizontal line that is typically just a few inches long. Benefits of a mini-tummy tuck include a shorter, less involved procedure, a quicker recovery, and a flatter, slimmer lower abdomen that looks better in swimsuits and fitted clothing.
The Park Clinic for Plastic Surgery physicians often use this technique when doing a C-section scar revision. While many C-section surgeries result in barely noticeable, horizontal scars below the underwear line, there are times when large, raised, discolored, painful or even vertical scarring happens. The C-section scar revision procedure is used to reduce to the scar that remains after a cesarean section and creates a more subtle appearance. The usual method for a C-section scar revision involves opening the incision and reclosing it carefully with a precision surgical technique that reduces the size of the scar.
