Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Full vs Mini
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a tummy tuck, is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Tummy Tuck can be divided into�either a full abdominoplasty or a mini or lower abdominoplasty.� If the region of patient concern is that portion of the abdomen from the umbilicus down to the pubic region only, then a lower or mini abdominoplasty may beconsidered.� If the full abdomen, from the rib cage down to the pubic region, is the area of the patient's concern then a full tummy tuck is the more likely the surgery.
In a full tummy tuck, the skin of the abdomen is lift up through an incision in the lower pubic region. A separate incision is made around the umbilicus.� All of the abdominal muscles are tightened in the mid line and the excess skin is removed and the skin closed.� A new belly button is created with a full abdominoplasty after all of the excess skin is removed. For a� full uncomplicated tummy tuck with liposuction, the patient usually requires at least two weeks for the initial recovery time.
In a Mini or lower abdominoplasty only the skin and muscles from the belly button down are treated.� A new belly button is not created but rather pulled tighter.� Liposuction of the region above the umbilicus is occasionally performed along with liposuction of the waist line.� In an uncomplicated mini-tummy tuck the patient is usually back to work within 5-7 days.�
