It is a more limited and smaller surgery compared to a full tummy tuck. Not every patient is suitable for a mini tummy tuck surgery. However, for suitable patients, despite being a mini surgery, it yields maximum happiness. This surgery is particularly suitable for patients with excess skin or sagging below the navel, or those with excess skin hanging down from above the cesarean section scar after delivery. In this surgery, the position of the navel does not change, and a certain level of correction (plication) can be applied to the abdominal muscles. It can be combined with liposuction.
Depending on the intervention to be performed, it can be done under local or general anesthesia. The surgery takes an average of 1 hour. You will leave the operating room with a special corset, which I recommend you wear for 3 weeks. I usually do not use drains after the surgery. You will be discharged on the day of the surgery, can return to your social life after 2 days, and can engage in all types of sports activities after 3 weeks.
