How Painfull is a Minni Tummy Tuck Under Local Anesthesia?

How Painfull is a Minni Tummy Tuck Under Local Anesthesia?

A: Mini tummy tuck under local anesthesia

A better question would be: will a mini tummy tuck (regardless of the type of anesthesia) give me the result that will make me happy? In my 20 years of experience, I would have to say that mini-tucks almost always result in mini results! Get at least two or three opinions from experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

26 Year Old Male - Is a Mini Tummy Tuck Best for Me?

I am a 26 year old male and i have lost 60 lbs 6 years ago. I've been exercising regularly and has a very active lifestyle. I've been thinking of having a mini tummy tuck or maybe a full tummy tuck since exercise alone can't fix my excess skin. May I know what procedure is best for me?

A: Mini vs full tummy tuck

A mini tuck involves dissection up to but not past the belly button. If you don't have much skin laxity above the belly button this option will probably work for you. With a mini there will not be a scar around the belly button but the lower abdominal scar will likely be the same length with either a mini or a full tuck. Hope this helps!!!

What Can I Do Prior to Surgery to Reduce Risks Associated with Mini Tummy Tuck?

I am 32 years old, had 3 children now 14, 11, and 6. I am finally going through with the surgery I have wanted for 14 years! I am extremely nervous about going under and the risks associated with the anesthesia and the surgery. what can I do prior to surgery (2 weeks away) to help reduce my risks? and is it possible to be back to a desk job after just 11 days off with the mini tuck and a small amount of lipo? My dr. will also correct the lower abdominal muscles but said they are not bad.

A: Increasing surgery safety

If you are in good general health,eat right, aren't diabetic or hypertensive, don't smoke and drink only in moderation you will likely do great! Your Doctor probably gave you a list of medicines/foods to avoid prior to surgery (ones that "thin" your blood), read it carefully. The risk of general anesthesia for healthy individuals is exceedingly low when performed in an accredited setting. 11 days should be enough recovery time to return to clerical type work. Good luck!!!
