Mini Tummy Tuck Candidates
As a result of pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, many women are plagued with excess abdominal skin which can be incredibly stubborn, making it almost impossible to restore their stomach to its former flat, youthful state. If you are troubled by the appearance of loose or sagging skin on your midsection, you may be wondering if you are a suitable candidate for a partial abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a mini tummy tuck. Individuals with only minor excess tissue, who are interested in minimizing scars and a shortened recovery time, may be good candidates for a mini tummy tuck.
Mild To Moderate Excess Tissue
Reduced Chance Of Scarring
While a full tummy tuck requires a hip-to-hip incision, the mini tummy tuck utilizes a smaller incision, which is typically 10-20 centimeters long and will be strategically placed low in the pubic region, making it easy to conceal. Aside from the smaller abdominal scar, a mini tummy tuck does not require reconstruction of the navel, which further reduces the appearance of scarring.
Shorter Recovery Time
A mini tummy tucks are usually performed under general anesthesia but can sometimes often be done with the aid of local anaesthetic and IV sedation. The reduced medication, less tissue trauma and tissue tension mean that many patients are able to return to work within a week of their procedure. Patients are still advised that strenuous activities should be avoided for at least one month post-operatively.
