What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that eliminates fat and excess skin from the area above and below the bellybutton. The surgery may be too extensive for men and women who only have excess fat in the lower abdominal area. In these cases, Dr. MaDan recommends a mini tummy tuck in Nashville, a type of modified abdominoplasty that is less extensive than a full tummy tuck.
Mini Tummy Tuck in Nashville, TN
The incision size is the same as a full tummy tuck. Your plastic surgeon makes the incision starting at one hip bone, following a line just above the pubic area and ending at the opposite hip bone. The incision allows Dr. MaDan to pull the abdominal tissues taut towards the pubic area. Once they are satisfied with the look of the abdomen, they remove the excess skin and fat and closes the incision.
What Are the Benefits of a Mini Tummy Tuck?
- Less extensive than a traditional tummy tuck
- Works to tighten the lower abdominal area
- Accentuates the natural contours of the abdominal muscles
What Is the Recovery Time for a Mini Tummy Tuck?
Although the procedure is less extensive than a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck in Nashville does require the same amount of time for recovery. For the first few days, you will need to rest in bed with your head elevated. Any discomfort that you experience can be managed with prescription or non-prescription medications as recommended by Dr. MaDan.
Your abdomen is wrapped in a special garment that helps manage swelling and discomfort. You will use the garment for six weeks. During this time, you will need to restrict your activities and refrain from exercising and lifting heavy objects. Full healing from a mini tummy tuck can take up to six weeks.
