Mini tummy tuck is an aesthetic surgical procedure that results in less incision and less scarring compared to full
tummy tuck surgery. The purpose of this procedure is to tighten and tone loose skin in the lower abdomen.
Mini tummy tuck surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. The method of operation depends on the condition of the patient's abdomen and where in the abdomen more fixing is needed. During the surgery, excess fat and skin in the lower abdomen are removed and the skin is tightened. The mini tummy tuck procedure is performed with less incision and leaves less scarring compared to full tummy tuck surgery.
Your qualifications are evaluated before the surgery. Generally, those who experience excess fat and sagging in the lower abdomen due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging may be suitable for this procedure. However, factors such as health problems or medication use may prevent the mini tummy tuck procedure from being performed. You need to undergo a detailed examination to get the most accurate information.
The recovery process after mini tummy tuck surgery is generally shorter and easier than full tummy tuck surgery.
Usually, the patient may not need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the operation and may be discharged on
the same day or the next day. However, the recovery time may vary depending on the person's general health status,
lifestyle, and job requirements.
After surgery, it is necessary to rest carefully, keep the surgical site clean and dry, and use the medication
prescribed by the doctor regularly. Swelling and bruising after surgery should decrease within a few weeks, but it may
take 3-6 months for them to completely disappear. It is recommended to avoid heavy lifting and intense physical
activities for a certain period after the surgery.
