Mini Abdomen Experience: A Novel Approach for Mini-Abdominoplasty Minimally Invasive (MAMI) Abdominal Contouring by Rodrigo Ferraz Galhego, Tulio Martins, Alvaro Cota Carvalho, Marco Faria-Correa, Raquel Nogueira

“…Based on our experience, mini-abdominoplasty with a minimally invasive approach (MAMI) has the potential to serve a larger number of patients, since most present degrees of skin laxity that, even after using technologies, require skin excision. In addition to complementing the results, it reduces complications, results in smaller scars, allows a better correction and visualization of the diastasis, avoids periumbilical scars, and offers faster recovery compared to abdominoplasty. …”
