Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty) with Dr. Çağrı Sade
A flatter lower tummy when the problem is “just that area”
After childbirth or significant weight changes, it is very common to develop loose, excess skin in the lower abdomen. No matter how disciplined you are with diet and exercise, this stretched skin often does not tighten again. While a full tummy tuck removes larger quantities of skin and fat and tightens the deeper abdominal muscles across the whole tummy, a mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower stomach area only, targeting the skin and fat that tend to roll over the top of jeans or swimwear.
If your skin laxity, sagginess, and muscle weakness are limited to the area below the belly button, you may be a good candidate for this more limited and focused procedure with Dr. Çağrı Sade.
What a Mini Tummy Tuck Does
A mini tummy tuck with Dr. Cagri Sade is designed for patients who do not need a full abdominoplasty but are bothered by the stubborn “pouch” or overhang in the lower abdomen.
This procedure can:
- Remove loose, excess skin in the lower tummy
- Reduce the small fat roll that hangs over trousers or underwear
- Gently tighten the lower abdominal tissues
- Improve the contour of the lower abdomen without changing the upper tummy
The surgery involves an incision made across the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened and redraped for a smoother contour. The scar usually sits low enough to be hidden under underwear or bikini bottoms.
You may be suitable for a mini tummy tuck with Dr. Cagri Sade if:
- Your main concern is the lower tummy only
- You have mild to moderate skin laxity below the belly button
- You have a small “overhang” or roll that does not respond to exercise
- Your upper abdominal area is relatively firm
- You prefer a more limited surgery compared to a full tummy tuck
Mini Tummy Tuck vs Full Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal wall, including muscle tightening across the whole stomach and removal of larger amounts of skin and fat. It is ideal if you have significant muscle separation, stretch marks, and sagging skin both above and below the belly button.
A mini tummy tuck with Dr. Çağrı Sade is more focused and typically involves:
- A shorter incision
- A more limited dissection area
- Correction mainly below the belly button
- Faster recovery compared with a full tummy tuck in suitable patients
It is not a weight loss operation but a contouring procedure that refines the lower tummy when everything else is in good shape except “that one area.”

- Surgeon-led care from start to finish
Your consultation, surgical planning, and operation are led personally by Dr. Çağrı Sade. You are not passed from person to person without clarity. - Natural, balanced results

Procedures are performed in accredited hospitals, under general anesthesia provided by experienced anesthesiologists. Strict protocols, careful preoperative assessment, and attentive postoperative monitoring support your safety at every step. - Experience with international patients
Dr. Cagri Sade and his team regularly treat patients from abroad, providing clear communication, structured follow-up, and support before and after surgery. This is especially important if you are planning your mini tummy tuck as part of a trip to Istanbul. - Attention to detail
Incision placement, scar quality, and contour symmetry are planned with care. The scar is kept as low as possible, and the lower tummy is shaped to blend smoothly with the hips and waist.
If your main problem is loose, sagging skin and a small overhang below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck with Dr. Çağrı Sade in Istanbul can offer a more targeted solution, correcting the lower abdomen while preserving areas that already look good. It is a precise, focused procedure for patients who want a cleaner, flatter lower tummy without the extent of a full abdominoplasty.
