A Expert Explanation of Mini Tummy Tuck Procedures from a Surgical Tech
A mini tummy tuck are the small brother of real tummy tuck procedures. They are not as often discussed or advertised, as far as I can tell. But still, many women choose to go this route because they and their plastic surgeon feel it is a correct choice.
The reasons behind the decision to choose a mini tummy tuck procedure over a traditional one are pretty apparent when you think about it. For one, the name mini tummy tuck implies that it is smaller or less dramatic than a common procedure. A regular tummy tuck procedure is done to remove a large amount of fat and skin on the abdomen. Also, the surgeon can bring together any abdominal stretching. This is generally caused while a woman carries a child.
There is less fat and skin engaged in a mini tummy tuck. The incision is not as big and less fat is involved. The flap of tissue that is detached will be a lot less as well. In most cases the procedure stays below the navel as opposed to a full procedure when the navel can be repositioned. It is truly mini because the price is less and the recovery after is not as long.
The before and after pictures will not be as dramatic as a full tummy tuck procedure, though. This is an aspect of the procedure that you should keep in mind during your recovery. But, if it is not required for you, then it should not be something to be too worried about.
Choosing a mini tummy tuck is not simple. Everything must be taken into account. It should be a decision reached between you, your plastic surgeon, and your family. Any surgery is risky and should only be considered if you feel that it is the exact right thing for you.
