Mini Tummy Tuck in Walnut Creek

Our mission - We are here to treat YOU

Are you considering a tummy tuck? If you are looking to improve your body contour and diet and exercise have not been enough, you may want to have a tummy tuck to help flatten your abdomen. Having excess, sagging skin and lax abdominal muscles can be a problem for both men and women.

At Golden Hills Plastic Surgery, Dr. Seth Eberlin offers a mini tummy tuck procedure for people who want to improve their contours but do not need a full extensive abdominoplasty. Reach out to our office to learn more about getting a mini tummy tuck in Walnut Creek and whether this procedure is right for you.

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

You may be familiar with a traditional, full tummy tuck (full abdominoplasty) and feel that it is not right for you. Our plastic surgeon Dr. Eberlin understands how difficult it can be to juggle all your responsibilities and how adding in recovery from a major surgery just will not work. That is where the mini tummy tuck, or mini or partial abdominoplasty, comes in.

A mini tummy tuck is a surgical procedure where a small incision will be made below the underwear line to remove excess skin and fat. This surgery is ideal for people who may have a small pooch in the lower abdominal region that does not respond to any forms of diet or exercise. Our main goal is to make you happy with your body. Every surgery Dr. Eberlin does is personalized to meet your specific needs and wishes.

Understanding the Surgery Process

Mini tummy tuck surgery usually takes about one to two hours at a fully accredited outpatient surgery center in Walnut Creek. It is done under general anesthesia for your comfort, but you will go home that evening. Most patients require about one to two weeks recovery time before they are ready to return to their usual work and activity schedule. If you work from home, you may be ready to work sooner.

During the surgery, liposuction may be also used to remove extra, stubborn fat deposits.

Factors to Consider Before Pursuing Surgery

We suggest that women have completed childbearing. Nothing that is done during a mini tummy tuck makes carrying another pregnancy dangerous or impossible, but you may stretch out your lower abdomen and lose the effects of the surgery. At that point, you may need a repeat mini tummy tuck or other revision surgery at our Walnut Creek office.

Anyone who is losing weight should wait until they are at or close to a stable, comfortable weight. Doing a mini tummy tuck is not a way to lose weight and if done too soon you may need a revision later on.
