Mini abdominoplasty
Mini abdominoplasty is a procedure that corrects the lower abdomen. It is especially relevant for women after childbirth and people who have lost a lot of weight.

Methods
Miniabdominoplasty is not just one operation, but a whole series of techniques, each of which is selected individually.
If you want to get rid of excess abdominal skin, the best option would be a mini-abdominoplasty with removal of excess skin. For those who are faced with problems of discrepancy or weakness of the abdominal muscles, there is a mini-abdominoplasty technique with their suturing. If you want to maintain the natural position of the navel, then mini abdominoplasty without moving it is suitable for you.
If an umbilical hernia, skin laxity and muscle separation are present simultaneously, an integrated approach can be considered. In this case, mini abdominoplasty with liposuction is recommended. This intervention combines several correction techniques.
Main methods of influence:
- Periumbilical miniabdominoplasty (periumbilical plastic surgery) The operation is intended to eliminate sagging and stretch marks in the navel area. The technique includes incisions on the sides of it, thanks to which you can achieve the maximum tightening effect.
- Mini abdominoplasty with bikini line incision This technique is suitable for those who have experienced a caesarean section. The operation allows you to get rid of unwanted scars, as well as correct various defects in the abdominal area.
- Mini abdominoplasty with de-epidermization Surgery is intended for patients with slight excess skin in the lower abdomen. It is removed during surgery.
Indications and contraindications
The main indications for mini-abdominoplasty are sagging skin and localized fat deposits that do not disappear despite diet and special exercises.
The main contraindication is considered to be too young age: surgical intervention is relevant only for patients over 18 years old. Other contraindications:
- Chronic and infectious diseases (tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis B and C)
- Diseases of the endocrine system (including diabetes, hypo- and hyperthyroidism)
- Dermatological problems (eczema, psoriasis, various dermatitis)
Another contraindication is an allergy to anesthesia. The danger here is the risk of developing Quincke's edema - a serious condition that often ends in death.
General information
What is the procedure
Before undergoing mini abdominoplasty, you need to follow a few simple recommendations. In particular, you must refrain from eating 12 hours before the operation. 3 days before the intervention you need to stop taking medications that affect blood clotting.
In the morning, on the day of the operation, the specialist examines the patient. The surgeon makes marks on the skin that indicate the locations for the incisions. After this, the person is transferred to the operating room. Depending on the situation, either intravenous anesthesia or spinal anesthesia is used.
During the operation, the surgeon carefully makes incisions along the marked lines and removes excess fat and skin. If necessary, the doctor also adjusts the abdominal muscles. After completing all procedures, the external suture is processed and closed with a sterile bandage. For better healing, the patient is recommended to wear compression garments.
After the operation, the person is under observation in the hospital for 2-3 days and the surgeon examines him every day. Once the healing process has returned to normal, the patient is allowed to return home. At the same time, he receives recommendations for further recovery.
Complications after miniabdominoplasty occur infrequently. For example, the risk of wound infection is only 0.5% - about one in 200 operations. Bleeding is about as likely to occur.
By choosing an experienced specialist and following all his recommendations, you can minimize the possibility of undesirable consequences.

What is the difference between abdominoplasty and mini abdominoplasty?
Mini abdominoplasty effectively solves the problem of excess skin and fat in the area under the navel.
A more comprehensive abdominoplasty focuses on correcting the entire area: sometimes this procedure entails the need to reshape the navel.
