Mini Tummy Tuck

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck, also known as mini abdominoplasty, is a less invasive version of the traditional tummy tuck. It focuses on the lower abdominal area below the belly button, addressing excess skin and mild fat deposits while tightening the underlying muscles. The procedure is ideal for individuals who have minor concerns and want to achieve a firmer and more contoured lower abdomen.
Mini tummy tuck in Turkey has become a popular choice due to the country’s renowned surgeons, advanced facilities, and cost-effective pricing. This procedure offers faster recovery times compared to a full tummy tuck, making it an attractive option for those seeking subtle but noticeable improvements.

Who is a Candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is suitable for individuals who:
- Have loose skin or minor fat deposits localized to the lower abdominal area.
- Experience mild muscle laxity below the belly button.
- Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight.
- Have realistic expectations and are seeking a less invasive solution compared to a full abdominoplasty.
Patients considering a mini tummy tuck in Turkey often choose this procedure to refine their abdominal contour after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. A consultation with an experienced surgeon helps determine if a mini tummy tuck is the right option based on the patient’s goals and anatomy

Mini Tummy Tuck Before & Afters







What is the Difference Between Mini Tummy Tuck and Full Tummy Tuck?
While both mini and full tummy tucks aim to enhance the abdominal area, they differ in scope and complexity:
- Mini Tummy Tuck: This procedure focuses only on the lower abdomen, specifically below the belly button. It is ideal for patients with minimal excess skin and mild muscle laxity, and it involves a smaller incision, resulting in less scarring and a quicker recovery.
- Full Tummy Tuck: This procedure addresses the entire abdominal area, removing significant amounts of excess skin and fat while tightening muscles from the upper to the lower abdomen. A full tummy tuck is suitable for patients with more extensive concerns, such as those caused by pregnancy or substantial weight loss.
Turkey’s surgeons, like Op. Dr. Gökhan Özerdem, offer both procedures and can guide patients in choosing the best option for their specific needs and goals.
How is a Mini Tummy Tuck Performed?

1. Step
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation where the surgeon evaluates the patient’s abdominal area and discusses their goals. A tailored surgical plan is created, considering factors like skin laxity and muscle tone.

2. Step
Anesthesia
Mini abdominoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The choice depends on the patient’s preference and the complexity of the procedure, ensuring maximum comfort.

3. Step
Reshaping
A small horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. The surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, pulling the remaining skin taut for a smoother, firmer look.

4. Step
Closing
The incision is carefully closed with sutures to minimize scarring. A compression garment is applied to support the healing process and reduce swelling, ensuring proper skin adherence.

5. Step
Post-Operative
Patients can usually return home the same day with detailed recovery instructions. Most resume light activities within a week, with results becoming more visible as swelling subsides.

What Our Patients Say

1 month ago, I had tummy tuck, breast lift (and implants were placed) + liposuction at Gökhan teacher. I was very, very pleased with the result. I was very anxious especially about the breasts, but my teacher did a really excellent job, both in shape and size, it was exactly what I wanted and even more beautiful than before birth. The interest of my teacher and nurses is very good both before and after surgery.
