The Mini Abdominoplasty:

The mini tuck is a popular option for women looking to re-shape their body post pregnancy as it remedies lax lower abdominal muscles. The post pregnancy bulge can be effectively removed with a mini abdominoplasty. The incisions used for this type of abdominoplasty are smaller than the ones made in the traditional tummy tuck. As a result the scars of a mini tuck are less visible. The recovery period is also quicker. A mini abdominoplasty exclusively corrects problems that occur in the lower abdomen area [reaches till the pubic area]. It can also remove excess skin besides tightening the muscles of the lower abdomen. It is unable to address deformities in the upper abdomen. When used in conjunction with a liposuction, it can also help a patient get rid of fat above the umbilicus. There are quite a few obese patients who prefer this procedure to a regular liposuction or abdominoplasty. If a patient suffers from conditions that warrant a traditional abdominoplasty, then a mini abdominoplasty is not much of a help. For removing a large amount of excess skin a standard abdominoplasty is what our doctors recommend.
