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.

Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty) FAQ

Is mini tummy tuck surgery right for me?

Not everyone is considered a good candidate for mini tummy tuck. Only post-pregnancy or individuals who have lost a lot of weight and have a lot of extra skin that bothers them are often given these procedures. Additionally, patients must be above 18 and in good health. Ideal conditions for patients include steady weight goals, a balanced food, and a healthy way of life. This implies that having an mini abdominoplasty may not be the ideal choice if you tend to gain and lose a lot of weight fast or want to have additional children. This is because gaining too much weight might make the results of the treatment look worse. Before you choose whether to proceed with the procedure, your doctor will have a detailed consultation with you to ensure that a mini tummy tuck is the best option for you. They will examine the fat, skin, and muscle in your abdomen and will go through all available options.

Can you have a baby after a mini tummy tuck?

Although having a baby is safe to do after a mini tummy tuck, the stretching of the abdominal muscles and skin can occasionally reverse its results and necessitate surgical revision. Although every patient is unique, it is often suggested that women complete their families before considering mini tummy tuck.

How long will it take me to recover after a mini tummy tuck?

We suggest that you take up to six weeks off work. You’ll need someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for 24 hours. We suggest you to verify with your insurance company to make sure you are covered following surgery and to refrain from driving for two weeks. For up to 12 weeks, you must refrain from physically demanding activities to ensure that the scar is not put under strain.

How long after the mini tummy tuck will I start to see the results?

After your mini tummy tuck operation, it should take around six weeks before you start to notice the results of the abdominoplasty. The mini tummy tuck will cause early swelling and bruising, and you’ll need to wear a compression garment for six weeks to aid in the recovery of your newly toned stomach.

When can I return to work after my mini abdominoplasty?

Recovery times after a mini tummy tuck vary from person to person. Depending on how physically demanding your job is, we often advise taking two to three weeks off. Your surgeon will go through this with you and give you advice on when, based on your line of work, you may return to work after having a mini tummy tuck.

Will I have any scars after mini tummy tuck surgery?

The lower abdomen is typically covered in scars following mini tummy tuck procedures. Most people discover that this scarring may be concealed by undergarments and that it will eventually fade.

How long will I need to recover?

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.
