What You Need to Know About a Mini Abdominoplasty

When most people think about the tummy tuck procedure, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the traditional tummy tuck. However, many people would be better served if they chose to get a mini tummy tuck instead. As such, this article will provide a detailed explanation of the mini tummy tuck.

While the tummy tuck has been used for years to remove excess skin off of women who have given birth, the mini tummy is being used mostly to tighten up the midsections of those of us whose stomach are sagging due to the normal aging process. Because of the smaller area affected, this procedure tends to only take 2 hours versus the 5 hours a normal abdominoplasty takes.

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.

Many people often question where the surgery is typically performed. It can be performed in a hospital, your surgeons office, or a dedicated operating facility. Where the actual procedure is performed will depend on your surgeons preferences.

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.

While cost is often a question that invariably comes up, it is not possible to give a final price due to numerous variables. In order to find out how much it costs, we recommend you contact a cosmetic surgeon. Specifically, ask him or her about surgeon fees, operating room fees, lab fees, etc.

The last item that needs to be discussed is the fact that you need to attend your follow up appointments. During these sessions, your doctor will make sure that your stomach is not getting infected. Additionally, you can use this forum to ask any questions that you may have on your mind.
