Where Precision Meets Beauty
Mini Tummy Tuck at The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement
Stubborn lower belly fat can leave you feeling hopeless. At The Godek Center for Personal Enhancement, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Christopher Godek offers Mini Tummy Tucks in New Jersey to help get you back to looking tight and sculpted. This procedure is ideal for patients who want a flatter, firmer lower abdomen without the extensive downtime of a full abdominoplasty.
Bye-Bye, Belly Bulge
What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
Mini Tummy Tucks are a less invasive version of traditional Tummy Tucks that target the area below the belly button. Using refined surgical techniques, Dr. Godek removes excess skin and tightens lower abdominal muscles, resulting in a sleeker, more toned silhouette. It’s perfect for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and muscle looseness who don’t require or want a full abdominal reconstruction.
What is the difference between a Mini Tummy Tuck and a traditional Tummy Tuck?
Both versions of Tummy Tucks aim to improve the appearance of the torso, but the Mini Tummy Tuck focuses solely on the lower abdomen and typically involves:
- A shorter incision
- No repositioning of the belly button
- Quicker recovery and less downtime
In contrast, full Tummy Tucks address the entire abdomen, including muscle repair from the ribs to the pelvis and repositioning the belly button.

Your Mini Tuck Match
Mini Tummy Tuck Candidates
Mini Tummy Tucks are great for adults who are:
- In good general health
- Struggling with loose skin and mild muscle separation below the belly button
- Non-smokers (or willing to quit)
- Done with childbearing
- Near their target weight
Mini Tummy Tucks are not ideal for those with significant upper abdominal laxity or patients looking for major weight loss solutions. A consultation with Dr. Godek will determine the best fit for your needs.
Let’s Talk Tightening
Consultation and Preparation
Dr. Godek will assess your abdominal muscles, skin elasticity, and overall goals during your consultation. He’ll explain the procedure, recovery, and outcomes in detail so you know exactly what to expect.
Before surgery, you may be asked to stop smoking, avoid certain medications or supplements, stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet, and arrange for post-op help at home.
Sculpting Made Simple
Your Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure
Done under general anesthesia, this procedure typically takes up to two hours. Dr. Godek makes a discreet incision low on the abdomen, removes all excess skin, and tightens the lower abdominal muscles. In some cases, liposuction is combined to enhance your results. Once the area is smooth and firm, the incision is closed with precision to minimize scarring.
Heal, Rest, Reveal
Mini Tummy Tuck Recovery and Aftercare
Expect about two weeks of downtime. Most patients return to light activity within a few days and resume work in around ten days. You’ll wear a compression garment to support healing and minimize swelling.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for four to six weeks
- Keep the incision clean and dry
- Sleep on your back with your knees bent slightly
- Follow all post-op instructions provided by Dr. Godek’s team
A Mini Tuck With Maximum Results
