MINIABDOMINOPLASTY
Sign up for a visit
A miniabdominoplasty is a plastic surgery performed by tightening the lower part of the abdomen, below the belly button
This type of plastic surgery is recommended when there is no need to remove large volumes of tissue, but you need to improve the look of the abdomen, below the navel, through surgery with quick rehabilitation!
IN WHICH CASES MINIABDOMINOPLASTY IS INDICATED:
♦ sagging stomach after pregnancy and childbirth, often with stretch marks;
♦ there is a skin defect over the scar after cesarean section;
♦ excess and sagging skin on the stomach due to age-related changes;
♦ diastasis — separation of the abdominal muscles (for example, after childbirth).
Miniabdominoplasty of the abdomen does not involve combating obesity and significant weight loss. If the patient has too much fat deposits in the abdomen, a minor mini lift will not solve this problem. Mini abdominoplasty also does not involve changing the shape or transferring the navel.
ADVANTAGES OF MINIABDOMINOPLASTY AND THE DIFFERENCE FROM CLASSIC ABDOMINOPLASTY:
→ less traumatic operation;
→ only the zone below the navel is involved;
→ performed without moving the navel;
→ an inconspicuous scar is located in the bikini area;
→ shorter operation duration;
→ the rehabilitation period is significantly shorter.
Abdominoplasty in the "mini" format gives the patient the advantage of quick recovery after the operation.
Any skin defects, including lost tone, stretch marks, and scars can be removed with the help of this operation, as well as smooth the look of the skin in this area. Lifting is performed to the level of the navel. The horizontal cut in the bikini area will turn into a thin strip in the skin tone and will be completely invisible even under the most miniature underwear.
HOW THE MINIABDOMINOPLASTY SURGERY WORKS
AT THE GENESIS CLINIC IN LVIV
-
First, you come for a consultation with a plastic surgeon. At the Genesis clinic in Lviv, there are doctors of the highest category with many years of experience in successful operations, as well as modern innovative equipment makes the Genesis clinic as good as the world's leading clinics in the field of plastic surgery.
-
At the consultation, the doctor will listen to your wishes regarding the expected aesthetic improvements of your body, assess the condition of the skin and the scope of the necessary intervention, make sure that you have no contraindications, discuss the preparation process with you and answer all the questions regarding the operation that interest you. Before the operation, the plastic surgeon will use the unique Vectra XT system to make a 3D model for further visual assessment of the achieved effect.
-
The necessary package of pre-operative tests can be done directly in our clinic the day before the operation. Ultrasound of the operated area is included in the price of the operation. During the consultation, the doctor will also inform you what the final price of mini abdominoplasty will be in your specific case.
-
The operation is performed under general (gas) anesthesia. This type of general anesthesia is well tolerated by patients and has no side effects. Also, the operation can be performed under epidural anesthesia, at the patient's choice. In this case, we can adjust the depth of sleep according to the patient's wishes. The operation lasts from 1,5 to 2,5 hours, depending on the volume of interventions.
-
During miniabdominoplasty, the incision is made in the bikini area, later it will be hidden by underwear. A plastic surgeon removes excess skin and fat below the navel, along with stretch marks and scars, sutures the muscles of the abdominal wall and applies cosmetic sutures.
PERIOD OF REHABILITATION AFTER MINI TUMMY PLASTIC
- After the operation, you stay in our clinic for 1 - 2 days (the term is determined individually by the doctor, as it depends on many factors). For your comfort and quick recovery there will be provided newly equipped wards, qualified post-operative care, balanced high-quality nutrition.
- At discharge, your doctor will schedule a follow-up visit for a planned dressing and make recommendations. Medications for faster healing and recovery may also be prescribed. It is very important to follow all the prescriptions of the plastic surgeon to avoid complications. Also healing will be much easier and faster, and the scars will have a minimal thickness.
- For two weeks after a mini tummy tuck, you have to wear compression underwear 24 hours a day, later for another 2 - 4 weeks — during the day, removing them only at night. In the first days after surgery, swelling may persist in the intervention area. Tight underwear will help the body to cope with the swelling faster and will maintain the correct fixed position of the tissues during healing. During a month and a half after miniabdominoplasty, you cannot visit the sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool, or do sports.
- In general, rehabilitation after a mini tummy tuck is much easier and faster than after a full abdominoplasty, since the area of intervention is much smaller. After two months, you will be able to evaluate the aesthetic result of the operation. Six months after miniabdominoplasty, the scar becomes light and looks like a thin strip in the color of the skin. The scar located in the area above the pubis will be completely hidden under underwear.
How long does the result after miniabdominoplasty last ?
First of all, in order for the effect of mini tummy tuck to be sustainable, your weight must be stable, without sharp significant fluctuations. Developing the habit of a rational, balanced healthy diet is extremely important for further maintaining a normal body weight.
