Having the mini-tummy tuck cosmetic surgery can help to improve the appearance stretched out skin in your lower stomach area that is loose and excess fat. Men and women both opt to have this type of body contouring cosmetic surgical procedure. The patients who choose the mini-tummy tuck do not have any conditions that are severe enough to warrant having a completely full abdominoplasty.
This procedure can be done using local anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation, and general anesthesia. It will normally take one to two hours to complete. After you have the surgery, you may experience side-effects that can include temporary discomfort, swelling, and numbness. After the patients have the mini-tummy tuck cosmetic procedure may have to wear a compression garment while they are going through the healing period, which can last from fourteen to twenty-one days after surgery. This is a shorter recovery time than with a full tummy tuck. In a few weeks, the patient can have the sutures removed. In one to three weeks you should be able to return to work and within two to three days you can start doing light activity. You should avoid strenuous activity for at least a month.
The results of this cosmetic procedure is long lasting, but getting pregnant or having weight fluctuating may affect your results. There is a rare possibility of developing blood clots or an infection.
