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.

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
