About Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty) Treatment

Mini tummy tuck, commonly known as “mini abdominoplasty”, is a procedure designed to make the abdomen seem tighter and leaner. It usually includes removing stretch marks, extra skin, and fat that isn’t altered by exercise. It may also involve mending and tightening the stomach’s muscles and tendons.
Most women seek a mini tummy tuck after having children or losing weight because they may feel that there is extra skin on their abdomen because of these life events. The treatment can also be used to remove scars from prior operations or regions of skin that have numerous stretch marks.
Mini tummy tucks are often only advised if you have a healthy, stable body mass index (BMI) because they cannot help you lose weight. You must be within a few pounds of your ideal weight and have maintained that weight for at least 6 to 12 months.

Blepharoplasty is done on an outpatient basis. You will be able to go back home soon after your procedure, once your surgeon determines that it is safe for you to return home. As a rule of thumb, your stitches, if not self-dissolving, will be removed after 7 to 10 days. Most patients make a full recovery within one month, although recovery may take longer on occasion.
