What
is a mini tummy tuck?
A
mini tummy tuck is an alternative to the invasive abdominoplasty (a
major tummy tuck) that is often not an option due to the significant
downtime required after the procedure and the large scar it leaves
behind.
A
mini tummy tuck is a smaller, less invasive procedure and has far
less downtime and scarring. An incision is made on the pubic
hairline, about 5cm in length longer than a caesarean scar, the skin
is then tightened and removed from the flap area. The scar is
normally completely concealed in the bikini line and the belly button
is left untouched so a natural look can be maintained.
Patients
can leave the same day as the procedure and because
the abdominal muscles are left untouched in the procedure the
downtime is far less because lifting and exercise is not restricted.
