A Mini Abdominoplasty, also known as a Mini Tummy Tuck (TT), is a surgical procedure performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. It targets the lower abdominal region, particularly below the belly button, where excess skin and fat may accumulate. This procedure is suitable for individuals who have mild to moderate sagging or laxity in the lower abdomen and don’t require extensive correction.
A Mini Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take approximately two to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case. The plastic surgeon will make a horizontal incision above the pubic area, usually shorter than the incision made in a traditional abdominoplasty. Through this incision, excess skin will be removed, and the underlying muscles may be tightened if necessary. Liposuction may also be performed to further enhance the contour of the abdominal area.

After the Mini Abdominoplasty, you will need to stay in the clinic for a period of time to ensure proper monitoring by the medical team. Pain medication will be provided to manage any discomfort during the initial days of recovery. Swelling, bruising, and some discomfort can be expected, but they will gradually subside with proper post-operative care.
Following the surgery, it is crucial to adhere to the plastic surgeon’s instructions for post-treatment care. This may include wearing a compression garment to support the treated area, avoiding strenuous activities, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By following these guidelines, you can promote proper healing and achieve optimal results.
As the healing process progresses and the swelling subsides, you will begin to see the transformation of your lower abdomen. A Mini Abdominoplasty can provide a flatter and more toned appearance in the lower abdominal area, enhancing your overall body contour. Individual results may vary based on factors such as your body’s healing process and the extent of the procedure.
Initially, the incision scar from a Mini Abdominoplasty may be noticeable, but over time it will fade. Proper scar care, including avoiding sun exposure and using scar treatment products recommended by your surgeon, can help minimize its visibility. With appropriate post-operative care and maintenance, the results of a Mini Abdominoplasty can be long-lasting.
As with any surgical procedure, a Mini Abdominoplasty carries certain risks and complications, although they are relatively rare. Potential risks include infection, poor wound healing, bleeding, changes in skin sensation, or asymmetry. The plastic surgeon will discuss these risks with you during your consultation and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
