Am I a suitable candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck?
The mini tummy tuck (or partial abdominoplasty) is for men and women who have a small amount of abdominal skin to be removed and do not have a significantly protruding abdominal muscle wall. If your tummy is beginning to sag due to ageing or you have a slim abdomen that you wish to sculpt into a more desirable shape, then you may find that a mini tummy tuck is ideal for you.
What else should I know?
A mini-tummy tuck may be a good option for you if you have:
- Realistic expectations - An optimal candidate will understand not only what a mini tummy tuck can accomplish, but also the limitations of the procedure.
- Good overall health - An optimal candidate will be generally healthy and will inform his or her surgeon of any pre-existing medical conditions well in advance. A mini tummy tuck is an invasive surgical procedure that requires significant healing and recovery, so it is essential that the patient be physically prepared for surgery.
What is my first step?
Your initial consultation with one of our vastly experienced mini tummy tuck surgeons should clearly set out your expectations and whether the operation can give you the results you desire.
Your reasons for wanting a mini tummy tuck, and your suitability for this type of procedure will be carefully discussed. Also, your medical history will be taken to ensure that there are no reasons why you shouldn't have this operation.
What can I do to help achieve the best results?
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for mini tummy tuck surgery, including guidelines on:
- Eating and drinking.
- Smoking.
- Taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications.
How else can I prepare for this procedure?
If you are physically fit when you have this operation, you will recover much more quickly than if you are out of shape.
