Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini tummy tuck is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and no muscle separation, but who have excess skin in the lower abdomen. The navel position remains unchanged, and the recovery is quicker compared to a full tummy tuck.

Mini tummy tuck offers a less invasive approach for those who need minimal tightening of the lower abdomen. Recovery time is shorter, and the procedure leaves a smaller scar compared to a full tummy tuck.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Mini tummy tuck is for patients without significant muscle deformation and with excess skin in the lower abdomen. The navel remains in its place, and since the abdominal muscles are not repaired, the procedure causes much less pain and has a quicker recovery period.

It is recommended to plan pregnancy at least 1 year after the surgery.

There will be a horizontal scar hidden within the underwear line. Since the navel position does not change, there won't be a scar in that area. The scar will be more noticeable during the first 6 months but will fade over time. Factors like genetics, smoking, and sun exposure can affect scarring.

Patients are observed for 1 night in the hospital and discharged the next day. There is mild pain for the first 3 days, and social life can be resumed after a 5-7 day rest. General exercises can be started after the 3rd week, and abdominal exercises after the 6th week.

Avoid smoking, and maintain a suitable diet and exercise routine to achieve optimal results.
