Centrally located in Southampton, PA and serving Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties, The Kole Plastic Surgery Center performs mini tummy tucks for patients desiring plastic surgery.
A mini tummy tuck is performed when you have extra skin and weak muscles from the umbilicus—or belly button—down to the pubic area.
In this procedure an incision is made extremely low in the pubic area, extending outward toward the groin crease. This incision is carried down through the skin and underlying fat to the musculature. The musculature is then used as a guide to elevate the skin and fat up to the level of the belly button.
The muscles are then sutured back to their original position with permanent suture. The external oblique muscles—the one’s side crunches affect—are mobilized toward the midline if they are displaced from their correct locations.
This gives a nice trim waist appearance. The excess skin is then excised away, leaving a scar in the bikini line where it will be less noticeable.
The cost of your mini tummy tuck is based upon the extent of surgery necessary to achieve that goal.
The Kole Plastic Surgery Center Center accepts cash, check, and credit card (MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®, Discover®) as acceptable forms of payment.
Financing is also available through CareCredit®, United Medical Credit and Advanced Care.
The ideal candidate for a mini tummy tuck has most of his or her skin laxity below the belly button. This procedure is usually recommended for patients who have always been in pretty good shape but have plateaued with diet and exercise. This procedure is ideal for people who have less excess tummy area skin or fat that is localized in the mid-abdomen area and who want to tighten the abdominal area below the belly button.
You are also more likely to be satisfied with the results of your mini tummy tuck surgery if you meet certain requirements, such as the following:
Dr. Kole will discuss these points and others during your initial consultation.
The results of a mini tummy tuck are permanent, as long as the patient does not have a dramatic weight gain.
