A: Mini tummy tucks do not deliver

Quite simply, if you need a tummy tuck, you need a tummy tuck.

Mini tucks that try to do with less simply achieve less

They simply patients disappointed with their accomplishment and simply not worth their keep.  

All tummy tucks will need a bikini line scar.  Nothing can be accompished from trying to do a tummy tuck through belly button.

skin removal during mini-tummy tuck vs. standard tummy tuck?

What differences would I find between a mini tummy tuck versus a total tummy tuck? Would a Mini Tummy Tuck Remove That Skin Completely?

A: Allure of Mini Tummy Tuck usually falls short of Expectation

Mini Tummy Tuck is just that - a mini operation that is neither here nor there.

Most women who need abdominoplasty will need a full operation to achieve desired result from this undertaking. 

Mini tuck leads half the abdomen untouhed and this disharmony looks odd.  Have a proper abdominoplasty.

Mini Tummy Tuck Swelling: Will it go Down?

Hello I had a tummy tuck done on May 16th. The first timeI took off the compression garment was 5 days post-op. I was really disappointed about the results but my nurse told me do not worry it is all very swollen. It has been 2 weeks now and it looks exactly the same if not a little worse. Should I be expecting to get the flat stomach my doctor promised. me or am I just worrying to early at this stage? My stomach looked smaller before the operation now it looks even bigger compared to pre-op.

A: swelling after a tummy tuck; what to expect

Most surgeries require some degree of recovery. Body contouring often requires more. We expect immediate gratification but often times have to wait a considerable amount of time particularly with body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck. If your doctor also performed liposuction it could be even greater. Remember a couple of things:

1. it usually takes two weeks to get back to your preoperative weight

2. early changes are seen by 4-6 weeks

3. final contour ( depending on the procedure) may take 4-6 months to achieve and as expected rely on your appropriate diet and exercise participation.
