The great advantage is that mini-abdominoplasty can be performed either only in the upper or lower abdomen, or in both. The surgeon makes the incision as needed and informs the patient in advance based on the submitted photos; all is evaluated at the preoperative consultation. The navel is not relocated. Mini-abdominoplasty addresses overhanging skin or stretch marks.
If you suffer from an overhanging abdomen, either after childbirth or sudden weight loss, and you want to solve it, there is no other way than a surgical incision. No diets, exercise or any non-invasive procedures recently offered on the market will help you. If you want a slimmer belly without skin overhangs, you will need to consider a surgical intervention. Expect a truly effective change of your body and thus a significant gain of self-confidence.
You wear compressive garments, in which you also sleep, for 6-8 weeks. We recommend light physical exertion only after three weeks and full physical exertion after two months. Checks can be performed by a surgeon or your local general practitioner.
You should plan at least 3 weeks off to allow sufficient recovery time. However, if your work is physically demanding, count on a longer time to recover. Everything will be consulted with the surgeon.
The result will be visible immediately, although full recovery may take 2-6 months. Your scar may be red and swollen during this time. It will disappear eventually.
It can last for many years. Unless there is a large weight gain or a large change in body shape after pregnancy, the changes are permanent.
You can usually walk immediately after the intervention; in fact, it is recommended to walk several times a day.
