Westchester Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini tummy tuck (lower abdomen) in Westchester County with Dr. Chang Soo Kim, MD — board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Yale School of Medicine graduate, Yale–New Haven Hospital residency — in Bellava’s Joint Commission accredited surgical suite in Bedford Hills, NY.

Step by step

How a mini tummy tuck is done

  1. 1

    A shorter, lower incision

    A mini tummy tuck needs a smaller incision than a full tummy tuck, so there is less scarring.

  2. 2

    Below the navel only

    The correction is targeted below the navel only — the stubborn lower-belly pooch and loose skin.

  3. 3

    Belly button untouched

    The belly button is not moved, and recovery is faster and easier than a full tummy tuck.

Simplified illustrations to explain the procedure — not to scale, and not a surgical plan. Dr. Kim decides the technique with you at your consultation.

Unveil Your Best Self with a Bedford Hills Mini Tummy Tuck

At Bellava MedAesthetics, we believe true confidence starts from within, but sometimes, a little external help can bring that confidence to the surface. If you’ve been struggling with a stubborn lower belly pooch or loose skin that just won’t respond to diet or exercise, a mini tummy tuck may be the solution you’ve been searching for.

Designed for those seeking subtle, natural enhancement, our mini tummy tuck procedure helps reveal a flatter, firmer lower abdomen, without the extensive downtime of a full abdominoplasty. It’s especially popular among women post-pregnancy and individuals wanting a more refined, youthful silhouette.

With Dr. Chang Soo Kim’s expert guidance, you can feel empowered knowing your transformation is in the hands of a highly skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon who prioritizes safety, artistry, and outcomes that reflect your unique beauty.

Mini vs. Full Tummy Tuck: What’s the Difference?

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area and often involves moving the belly button. In contrast, a Westchester mini tummy tuck focuses only on the lower portion of the stomach. It requires a smaller incision, typically results in less scarring, and offers a faster, easier recovery.

Mini Tummy Tuck vs Full Tummy Tuck Benefits

  • Smaller incision and minimal scarring
  • No repositioning of the belly button
  • Shorter surgery time
  • Quicker recovery
  • Localized improvement for a flatter lower belly

Key Risks to Consider

As with any surgery, risks exist. While rare, these can include:

  • Infection
  • Fluid accumulation (seroma)
  • Scarring or delayed healing
  • Minor asymmetry

Our surgical team minimizes risks through detailed planning, sterile techniques, and attentive follow-up care.

Ideal Candidates for a Mini Tummy Tuck

You may be a good candidate for a Bedford Hills Mini Tummy Tuck if:

  • You are in overall good health
  • You have a small amount of loose skin or lower belly fat
  • You do not require muscle repair across the full abdomen
  • You are not planning future pregnancies
  • You are close to your goal weight and maintain a stable lifestyle

Our team will evaluate your goals and body type to ensure a personalized plan that’s right for you.
