The Benefits of a Mini Tummy Tuck

During the last decade, one of the more popular cosmetic surgery procedures has been the mini tummy tuck. Along with its rising popularity has come a lot of confusion between it and the traditional tummy tuck. With this is mind, we are going to provide a brief overview of the mini tummy tuck.

While the traditional abdominoplasty is usually reserved for those people who have lost a significant amount of weight, the mini tummy tuck is generally oriented toward those who have sagging abdominal areas due to the aging process. One of the benefits of this procedure is that it only takes up to 2 hours, whereas a normal tummy tuck takes up to 5 hours.

Additionally, compared to the traditional version of this procedure, the mini tummy tuck costs significantly less. This is because you will require the surgeon and the operating facility for a smaller period of time.

There are 2 main differences between this procedure and a full tummy tuck. For this procedure, the surgeon is able to make a smaller incision, since less of the stomach is being operated on. Second, the only area being operated on is below the navel.

Another question that we are often asked is, where is the surgery performed? Depending on your doctors preferences, the tummy tuck can be performed in either a hospital, a dedicated operating facility, or if you surgeon has the resources, in your surgeons offices.

As you might suspect, since the mini tummy tuck only affects a small area of your abdominals, your recovery will take less time. You should be able to perform light activity within the first 5 days of surgery.

Of course, many people want to know how much this procedure is going to cost. Without visiting a surgeon, it is impossible to give a realistic estimate. But your estimate should include the surgeons fee, lab fees, operating facility fees, and pain medication.

Before we conclude this article, there is one more important point that needs to be emphasized. During the recovery, your surgeons office will schedule you for a series of follow-up appointments. Please do not miss these; this is the forum for your doctor to ensure you are properly healing.
