Mini tummy tuck is an effective surgical method employed to eliminate aesthetic problems from the belly area. Although similar to a full tummy tuck, it is concerned with only eliminating extra skin and fat from the lower part of the abdomen. It is especially chosen to correct loose skin in the lower abdomen caused by pregnancy or weight loss.

Mini abdominoplasty is a less invasive operation, and specialists usually do not perform thorough repairs to the abdominal muscles. Therefore, it is one of the choices that provides patient satisfaction with the shortest recovery process and small scars.

As Yaman Surgery Hospital in Turkey, we outline all the details about this operation, which is one of the types of belly cosmetic surgery, in this blog.

Mini Abdominoplasty Process

Mini abdominoplasty is typically done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Surgery lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours. Discharge from the hospital on the same day after operation.

The surgeon makes a small incision above the groin and removes excess skin. If you’ve had a previous caesarean section, the incision is usually made a few centimeters below your caesarean section scar.

In doing so, your cesarean scar can be removed as well. Mini tummy tuck surgery in Turkey doesn’t have any incision around the belly button, which accelerates the healing process.

3.    Belly Tuck Surgery Recovery Process

After abdominal plasty surgery, the healing process will take approximately 4 to 7 weeks. Rest in bed for the first week will allow the body to recover.

Bruising, swelling and mild pain are all a natural recovery process and your doctor may prescribe medication and a support belt for pain alleviation.

Smoking or drinking alcohol during the recovery period can contribute to complications, and thus it is necessary to follow your surgeon’s instructions to the letter.
