Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre offers mini tummy tuck procedures to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. Dr. Colin Bailey, our board-certified cosmetic surgeon, makes a small incision to tighten tissues and contour the area below the belly button without extensive surgery. Patients can see significant improvements in their appearance after this treatment. Our center provides the best conditions for receiving a mini tummy tuck – skilled staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and top-level care at each step.

Recovery from a mini tummy tuck involves rest, wearing a compression garment, and allowing the incision site to mend. Patients experience swelling and bruising during the first week after surgery. Pain and discomfort should be expected, but these symptoms can be managed with medication.
Patients are advised to walk slightly bent over for 7 days to avoid putting pressure on the incision site. Any strength exercise or active movements should be restricted for 2-3 weeks, after which light activity may be resumed.
Most patients can return to work within 7-10 days, but recovery time varies by individual. Complete healing usually takes several months. Patients should visit all follow-up appointments because these meetings allow Dr. Bailey to monitor healing, check for infection, and track results over time.
The cost of a mini tummy tuck in Springfield, MO and other cities we operate in ranges from $3,500 to $8,000. The price varies depending on the extent of work needed and other factors unique to each patient. Each person has different needs and goals, so it is important to meet with Dr. Bailey first. He will thoroughly evaluate the abdominal area and discuss the available options. After assessing the patient’s health and desired results, our team provides an accurate quote for the total cost of the procedure.
