This patient came to Denver, Colorado board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile because, she was unhappy with her abdominal region. Although this woman was fit and had minimal fat, her abdomen still protruded as a result of pregnancy. After pregnancy, the recuts muscles of the abdomen are distended and no amount of exercise will return them back to a pre-pregnancy state.

Few women are candidates for a mini- tummy tuck. During a mini-tummy tuck procedure, the abdominal muscles are surgically placed in a more medial location as in a regular tummy tuck. However, only the skin below the belly button is excised and the belly button remains in the same place. As a result, the best candidates for this procedure are women who have a slight amount of excess skin below the belly button and distended abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy.

As you can see, after this woman’s tummy tuck surgery with Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Francesco Campanile, her abdomen appears much tighter and sculpted than it did before. This patient is shown here approximately 2 months after her tummy tuck with Dr. Campanile. She is very happy with her results and feels confident in how her abdomen looks.
