A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a less invasive version of the traditional tummy tuck, specifically designed for individuals who have minor excess skin or fat in the lower abdomen. This procedure focuses on improving the area below the belly button, without the need for extensive muscle tightening or full abdominal contouring. The mini tummy tuck is ideal for those who are generally in good shape but have stubborn pockets of fat or loose skin that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
Targeted Fat Removal: The procedure focuses on the lower abdomen, removing unwanted fat and delivering a flatter, more toned appearance.
Minimal Scarring: Since the incision is smaller than in a full tummy tuck, scarring is less noticeable and recovery time is shorter.
Faster Recovery: The mini tummy tuck is less invasive, meaning patients can enjoy a quicker recovery period and return to normal activities sooner.
Boost in Confidence: With a smoother, more defined lower abdomen, many patients experience an improvement in their self-confidence and body image.
Consultation: During your consultation at iQonic, our experienced surgeon will assess your abdominal area and discuss your aesthetic goals. The consultation includes a thorough evaluation using our Silhouette tool to visualise the expected results and create a customised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Procedure: The mini tummy tuck is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the case. The procedure lasts around 1 to 2 hours, focusing on removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen.
Surgery Day: On the day of your surgery, our team will ensure you are comfortable and well-informed. You will be monitored throughout the procedure, and after the surgery, you’ll be provided with detailed post-operative care instructions.
Recovery: Recovery from a mini tummy tuck is quicker than a traditional tummy tuck. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for several weeks to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with full recovery taking 4 to 6 weeks. Regular follow-up appointments at iQonic will ensure that you’re healing properly and achieving your desired results.
