Mini tummy tuck

Often, there is only an excess of skin fat limited to the lower abdomen, for example after pregnancy, but also in sporty and trained people, for example after weight loss. Depending on the severity and tissue texture, unsightly stretch marks and a sagging navel region may also occur.

Here, a so-called mini tummy tuck can bring about a significant improvement. In contrast to the conventional procedure, the navel is not cut around in the mini tummy tuck and instead experiences a visually favorable downward pull. In some cases, it is released from the inside, from its natural attachment, and then fixed again a little deeper, to the abdominal wall.

In the case of the mini tummy tuck, the loosening of the abdominal skin is also limited to the lower abdomen and is therefore much gentler than the classic abdominoplasty. In addition, the horizontal skin incision is in most cases significantly shorter than in the case of a tummy tuck.

If the changes that bother you are not very pronounced, or if the conditions for a mini tummy tuck are favorable, the advantages for you are obvious: fewer and shorter scars, smaller internal wound area, fewer risks, faster recovery and lower costs. Last but not least, this surgical method is therefore also becoming more and more popular in our clinic.

In the days after the procedure, you should allow yourself plenty of rest. In addition, you should wear compression garments for six weeks for optimal treatment results.

Whether this technique of mini tummy tuck is suitable for you can of course only be answered in a personal consultation and during a physical examination.

The most important things about a mini tummy tuck in brief:

– only useful for excess skin fat limited to the lower abdomen
– no incision of the navel and usually relatively short scars on the lower abdomen
– comparatively small wound areas and risk minimization
