What is a mini tummy tuck?

Description:

There are many different variations to the tummy tuck procedure and Cambridge Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Tariq Ahmad is able to offer them all. So, what is a mini tummy tuck? A tummy tuck, known medically as an abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the abdomen, by tightening the stomach muscles and getting rid of the sagging skin that might be obscuring the tummy. It is very popular with both men and women who may have lost weight but are finding it difficult to tighten up the skin that may be loose and sagging as a result of being stretched. For most patients, it is the case that the loose skin and muscle laxity is present all along the abdomen. However, for some it is the case that the problem only lies below the belly button. For these patients, it might be possible to perform a mini tummy tuck. This means that the area operated on will only stretch up to the belly button and it usually necessitates a small incision and much less downtime. During your Cambridge tummy tuck consultation Mr Tariq Ahmad will perform a thorough physical examination to assess which variation of the tummy tuck will be most suitable for each individual patient.
