Mini abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate sagging in the lower abdomen due to birth, weight changes or age. Unlike full tummy tuck surgery, in this method the belly button remains in place and only the excess skin under the belly is removed. More effective results are achieved when combined with liposuction. After the procedure, the abdominal area has a flatter, tighter and more aesthetic appearance.
The surgery usually takes place under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1–2 hours. Patients are often discharged on the same day or may stay in the hospital overnight. In the first days, walking with a slight forward bend, regular use of the corset and gradual return to physical activities support the healing process. You can return to social life in approximately 3-4 days; Exercises can be started after 4-6 weeks.
This process not only provides an improvement in appearance; It also increases a person’s self-confidence by strengthening their body perception. Weight control, balanced nutrition and regular exercise habits are of great importance to maintain permanence. Since mini abdominoplasty is performed in a more limited area, the recovery process is planned to be rapid and the surgical scar to remain under the laundry.
