Having
a shapely backside has become quite popular. This has
become evident with stars like Jennifer Lopez. Many
women want to achieve a similar look and it is why so
many of them have been seeking out cosmetic surgeons
for buttock implants, or more commonly, butt implants.
Buttock augmentation, or the butt lift, is a relatively
new procedure that can literally add more volume and
shape to a flat bottom. Also, with new interest in the
shape of the rear, contouring with liposuction and fat
transfers have also become more popular procedures.
Skin quality and the surgeon's final approval for implants
suitability will determine if your best course of action
is fat transfer or implant addition.
Although
reasons for butt augmentation vary from person to person,
the more common ones include:
- Enhancing
appearance and boosting self-confidence.
- Becoming
less self-conscious about appearance.
- Achieving
a more balanced look. Gaining a more sensuous backside.
What to expect
from the Mini Tummy tuck surgery?
- It eliminates the
excess skin and fat from the lower part of the abdomen,
that is, the section below the navel. If your problem
is that persistent roll of fat showing above your
bikini, this is the right procedure for you.
- At the same time,
it may also help to solve preexisting problems, such
as hernias or eventrations.

What not to expect from the
Mini Tummy tuck surgery?
- Unlike traditional
tummy tuck surgery, it does not eliminate flaccidity
or fat above the navel.
- Unlike traditional
tummy tuck surgery, it does not tighten the abdominal
muscles to narrow the waist.
- It is not used for
removing fat deposits when they are small and the
skin has a good elasticity.
If this is your case,
and diets and physical exercise do not produce the desired
results, liposuction is the right thing for you.

How is mini tummy tuck surgery
performed?
Mini tummy tuck surgery
can be performed on out patient basis under local anesthesia
or in patient with one day of stay under general anesthesia.
The surgery takes about 1-2 hours.
The surgeon makes a
horizontal or slightly curved incision of approximately
6 inches (15 cm), just above the pubic hair. He separates
the skin of the lower section of the abdomen, between
the pubis and the navel, from the underlying tissues.
He cuts the excess skin and sutures, without having
to stretch the skin first. Since there is no tension,
the wound tends to heal without any complications. Finally,
before a bandage is applied, he places a temporary drainage
tube that will help eliminate the excess fluids.

What is the post operative care
and how long is the recovery period?
You would be allowed
to go home the same day after the surgery or will have
to stay overnight at the hospital. You might have some
amount of pain and discomfort immediately following
the operation. You may also experience numbness, bruising
and overall tiredness for the next few days.
For the first 2 days,
the surgeon may advise you to bend your legs at the
hips to reduce strain on the abdominal wall muscles.
Within the first week the drainage tubes put in during
surgery to prevent fluids from accumulating will be
removed. A support garment will be worn for two weeks.
You should be able to return to work or school within
a week. Exercises that work the abdominal muscles should
be avoided for three months. Low impact exercise can
be resumed within 2-3 weeks. High impact exercise may
be resumed within 6-8 weeks.

What is the
outcome of the surgery?
The change in the body contour is remarkable,
especially in those women who have a roll of fat and
skin to hold below the navel.

Can I combine a tummy tuck with
other treatments?
Many people choose
to combine tummy tucks with other surgery. Some women
feel that after childbirth, as well as losing firmness
in their tummy, their breasts also lose firmness and
opt for breast uplift or breast enlargement.
Your surgeon may suggest
combining a tummy tuck with liposuction in the same
area; you may like to explore having it in another area
to give your body an overall slimmer effect.
If you would like to
improve your skin’s texture and appearance then you
may like to explore non-surgical anti-ageing procedures
such as microdermabrasion and dermal fillers. Of course
you may feel that you would like to improve another
part of your body, aside from the face. Explore our
