Information on a mini tummy tuck

Also known as a modified abdominoplasty, the mini tuck can be used to remove both fat and excess skin, but cannot be used to tighten the abdominal muscle groups. If your navel must be moved or reconstructed as a result of your tummy tuck, you are not a candidate for this procedure.

 Unlike a full tummy tuck cosmetic surgery, which requires 2 incisions, one at the navel, and one at the pubic line, a mini tummy tuck uses a much shorter incision at the pubic line, and leaves the navel fully intact. It is often combined with liposuction to more adequately remove fat between the bellybutton and he pubis.

It is important to know that a mini tuck only works on the lower abdominal region, expect to see result from the belly button down. You should consult with a number of cosmetic surgeons before choosing the right one for you and you can find experienced cosmetic surgeons who do have specialist interest in tummy tucks at www.cosmeticsurgeon.co.uk
