TUMMY TUCK SUGERY WITH The Mere Aesthetics & Wellbeing Clinic
What is a mini-abdominoplasty procedure AKA TUMMY TUCK?
A mini-abdominoplasty procedure, also known as a mini tummy-tuck, removes the excess skin and fat in the lower abdominal region. The result of the procedure is a more youthful-looking overall contour to the body.
The removal of loose and excess tissue during the surgery helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of the abdominal area and will create a slimmed-down appearance. Sometimes the muscles will also be tightened. No scar is left around the tummy button, which may be stretched to become a different shape.

THE PROCEDURE
Considering a mini-abdominoplasty to achieve a flatter and more toned abdomen? Discover what to expect when you choose The Mere Aesthetics & Wellbeing Clinic with our consultant plastic surgeon for your mini-abdominoplasty journey:
Consultation and Evaluation: Your mini-abdominoplasty journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with your surgeon. During this initial meeting, your surgeon will listen attentively to your concerns, assess your abdominal anatomy, and discuss your goals for abdominal contouring. He will perform a thorough examination to determine if a mini-abdominoplasty is the most suitable option to address your needs.
Preparation: On the day of your mini-abdominoplasty procedure, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility prepared for your surgery. Your surgeon and his team will ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed before administering anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Surgical Technique: Your surgeon will employ advanced surgical techniques to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, tighten the abdominal muscles, and create a more contoured and sculpted appearance. Unlike a full abdominoplasty, which addresses both the upper and lower abdomen, a mini-abdominoplasty focuses primarily on the area below the navel.
Incision Placement: Your surgeon will make a horizontal incision above the pubic area, typically concealed within the natural contours of the bikini line. Through this incision, he will remove excess skin and fat, as well as tighten the underlying muscles if necessary, to improve abdominal contour and definition.
Closing Incisions and Recovery: Following the procedure, your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures and apply dressings as needed. You’ll be closely monitored in the recovery area before being discharged with detailed post-operative instructions. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure a smooth recovery process.
Results: As you heal from the mini-abdominoplasty procedure, you’ll begin to notice a firmer, flatter, and more toned appearance in your lower abdomen. Your surgeon’s approach aims to deliver natural-looking results that enhance your body contour while maintaining a balanced aesthetic.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER Mini-Abdominoplasty SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Strenuous Activities: Avoid engaging in strenuous activities such as heavy lifting, intense exercise, or bending over for several weeks following surgery to prevent complications and promote proper healing.
- Smoking and Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol as they can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications such as poor wound healing and infection.
- Tight Clothing: Avoid wearing tight clothing that puts pressure on the surgical area, as this can interfere with blood circulation and delay healing.
- Sun Exposure: Minimise sun exposure to the surgical area to prevent hyperpigmentation and scarring. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF and protective clothing.
- Skipping Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure optimal healing and results.
POST OP Mini-Abdominoplasty SURGERY AFTERCARE
It is vital all of our patients closely follow these steps
- Follow your surgeon's Instructions: Strictly adhere to the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, including medication schedules, wound care procedures, and activity restrictions, to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
- Wear Compression Garments: Wear the prescribed compression garments as instructed by your surgeon to reduce swelling, provide support to the treated area, and promote skin retraction.
- Maintain Proper Hygiene: Keep the surgical incisions and surrounding areas clean and dry to prevent infection. Follow your surgeon's guidelines for bathing and wound care to minimise the risk of complications.
- Stay Hydrated and Eat a Balanced Diet: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and follow a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support the healing process and promote tissue repair.
- Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress, address any concerns or complications promptly, and ensure optimal healing and cosmetic results.
