Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty removes the abdominal fat and skin flaccidity present in obesity or that appears after pregnancies. When the affected area is smaller it is better to perform a Mini tummy tuck. Get the flat tummy that you've always dreamed of!

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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 procedures and get in touch by filling our online form
