What is a Mini-Abdominoplasty? What is a Mini-Abdominoplasty?

A mini-abdominoplasty (mini-tummy tuck) is a procedure where excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen. The umbilicus (belly-button) and the underlying muscles are not affected during this procedure. The scar can usually be placed in the bikini line and, together with the flattening of the abdomen.

Targeted Results Targeted Results

One of the main reasons for a mini tummy tuck is its ability to target the lower abdomen specifically. This is for individuals who have high skin elasticity and muscle tone above the navel but struggle with excess skin below it.

Less Invasive Less Invasive

Compared to a full tummy tuck, a mini abdominoplasty is less invasive, involving a smaller incision and less tissue manipulation. This typically results in a shorter recovery time and reduced risk of complications.

Procedure Procedure

A mini tummy tuck involves making an incision just above the pubic area, through which the doctor in cosmetic surgery can remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles. This procedure can be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits, enhancing the overall contour of the abdomen.

Patients may opt for a mini tummy tuck with liposuction, as this approach maximises the fat removal and can result in a more significant change in appearance.

This is a surgery that may be considered by people who have excess skin and fat, but who have tight muscles (this may appear as an abdominal overhang or ‘apron’) and require more fat removal than possible with liposuction alone.

This abdominal overhang can occur after large amounts of weight loss, or changes after pregnancy. This operation is not a treatment for obesity or being overweight.

If you have excess or unwanted abdominal fat, Dr Topchian will assess your anatomy in your consultation and advise whether liposuction, a mini-abdominoplasty or a full-abdominoplasty is appropriate for your situation.”

Making the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a serious one, and patients considering a procedure should also keep in mind that they need time to recover, they will need support, and possibly time off work. They may also need other therapies such as massage and compression garments.

During your consultation we will discuss the range of options available to you and recommend treatments that have the best chance of achieving your desired goals. Part of this conversation will cover, in more detail, the types of complications and risks that apply to your specific circumstances. In general, the risks and complications of surgery are:

• disappointing aesthetic outcome
• infection
• bleeding
• scarring
• significant asymmetry (a large difference between sides)
• pain
• change in skin sensation (eg. numbness)
• allergic reaction
• anaesthetic complications
• prolonged recover and wound healing
• collections of fluid

All of these may result in the need for further treatment or surgery.
