Is Mini Tummy Tuck Suitable for Everyone?
The answer is probably clear from the way the question is asked! NO, it is not! So why are we seeking mini abdominoplasty? All our patients are looking for a mini tummy tuck to recover faster, avoid permanent scars around the belly button, and return to daily life as quickly as possible. However, like every procedure, this surgery also has indications, or in other words, predetermined rules:
- There should be no excess sagging skin above the belly button.
- The upper abdominal muscles should not be loose.
If your plastic surgeon examines you and determines that you meet the criteria, they may recommend a mini tummy tuck. So, what can you do in the meantime? Focus on abdominal exercises, weight loss, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Once you've crossed the finish line of your fitness journey, you'll be ready for a mini tummy tuck. Even if it ends in the operating room, don't give up on exercise, ladies! Remember that patients who exercise regularly tend to have shorter scars and better healing after surgery.
