Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini-Abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, primarily targeting the area below the belly button.
Preparation: Prior to surgery, patients should attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.
Procedure: Performed under general or local anaesthesia, the surgeon makes a horizontal incision along the bikini line to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. In some cases, the underlying muscles may also be tightened. The procedure typically lasts about 2 hours, and patients usually do not require an overnight hospital stay.
Recovery: Post-surgery, patients may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers and ice packs. It's essential to begin gentle walking as advised to restore mobility and prevent complications. Full recovery varies per individual but generally ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, during which adherence to post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal outcomes.
