Mini tummy tuck risks to be aware of
As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with a mini tummy tuck. These can include bleeding, infection, scarring, and numbness in the area.
However, these risks are typically minimal and can be further minimized by choosing an experienced and reputable surgeon, such as Mr Ridha.
It is important to discuss all potential risks and complications prior to having a mini tummy tuck. This way, you can make an informed decision about whether or not the surgery is right for you.
How is a mini tummy tuck performed?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic for one to two hours as a day case.
An incision is made below the bikini line, similar to a Caesarian section scar. Any excess skin and fat are removed to create a tight well contoured lower abdomen.
The incision is closed with absorbable sutures and the wound is dressed with surgical tape and an abdominal binder is applied.
Recovery time
Recovery after a mini tummy tuck is typically shorter and less involved than a full abdominoplasty. Patients may shower the next day after surgery. The wound usually heals in two weeks. Most patients return to work and normal activities one week after surgery. Strenuous activity and exercise are to be avoided for 8 weeks.
Additionally, most people report minimal discomfort and swelling after a mini tummy tuck and are able to see the result and feel the benefits of the surgery immediately.
Following the surgeon’s instructions during the recovery period is important to ensure a successful outcome.
