Mini Tummy Tuck
Mini Tummy Tuck in Sarasota With Dr. Kristopher Hamwi
Diet and exercise are essential to a healthy lifestyle and a slender, toned figure. However, some areas of the body don’t respond well to exercise, creating problem areas — small, stubborn fat pockets that do not go away. One of these areas is the lower abdomen, which produces an unsightly pouch or bulge in the stomach area.
When planks and crunches fail to shrink that lower belly, a mini tummy tuck at Florida Plastic Surgery might be the solution you’re looking for to attain a flat stomach.
Find that flat belly again and regain your confident, slender appearance with the best mini tummy tuck in Sarasota. Contact Florida Plastic Surgery to schedule your consultation with Dr. Hamwi (941) 800-2000 or complete our online form today.
What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that targets the lower abdomen, usually between the belly button and pubic area. The procedure is effective for people who are close to their stable, target weight, but may have extra skin or fat in the lower abdomen that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
With an incision about four to eight inches long in the lower abdomen, mini tummy tucks are much less invasive than a full tummy tuck. From this incision, Dr. Hamwi will tighten loose muscles and remove excess skin and fat to create a flatter, leaner-looking lower stomach.
While mini tummy tucks are not a weight loss procedure, they are the perfect complement to a healthy diet and exercise routine.
What are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck?
Mini tummy tucks are an effective way to tighten and flatten your lower abdomen. They are the ideal procedure for people close to their desired body weight who might still be uncomfortable with the appearance of their bellies.
Typically, the results of a mini tummy tuck are permanent with your continued diet and exercise regimen. You’ll notice:
- A tighter, more contoured midsection
- Improved abdominal tone
- Boosted self-confidence
- Renewed self-image

How Soon Will I See My Sarasota Mini Tummy Tuck Results?
Since a mini tummy tuck is less invasive than a full tummy tuck, the recovery time is significantly less. Your recovery time will be between two to four weeks. You will go home on the same day of the procedure; however, you will need assistance completing normal tasks for a few weeks, especially if you have children. Following Dr. Hamwi’s instructions regarding physical activity during this time is crucial for your healthy recovery and optimal results.
After a mini tummy tuck, most patients notice immediate improvements to their stomach’s shape and appearance. You may experience swelling that might temporarily obscure your results; however, this should subside within a few weeks. You’ll continue to see results as your body heals and adjusts to its new contours.
As Dr. Hamwi prioritizes his patients, he will educate you on ways to maintain your results, including maintaining your healthy diet and exercise regimen.
