The mini abdominoplasty is a procedure similar to the standard abdominoplasty, with a few key differences. It involves a shorter incision along the waistline, although this doesn’t affect recovery time. Unlike the full abdominoplasty, the mini version doesn’t require an incision around the navel, and the surgery focuses only on the lower abdominal wall, allowing tightening of the muscles in that area.
This procedure is ideal for individuals with excess skin in the lower abdomen and adequate muscle tone in the upper area. Recovery is easier than with a full abdominoplasty, as only the lower half of the abdomen is addressed.
