The Tummy Tuck

by Leave a Comment

Tummy Tuck’s are a phenomenal procedure which can transform the look of your stomach. Excess, sagging skin and fat is removed to leave a firmer and flatter abdomen (stomach) and tighten and repair muscles if required. And when performed by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, you can achieve truly outstanding results.

Mini Tummy Tuck Before and After Pictures UK

As well as the standard tummy tuck, a highly reputable clinic should offer a spectrum of tummy tuck procedures, including the mini, extended and Brazilian Tummy Tuck. This means that you can be advised the best procedure for your particular needs. And each tummy tuck treatment should be tailored to you for best results.

To provide more detail on the Mini Tummy Tuck, the popular procedure is suited to patients with minimal excess skin between the stomach button and pubic area, rather than the whole stomach area (as is the case with the standard tummy tuck).

Tummy Tuck Reviews / Testimonials

As well as seeing before and after photos, patient reviews and testimonials can be highly useful to inform what you can expect with a tummy tuck procedure. See below the stories of our Tummy Tuck patients, Barbara, Marie and Stella and see our tummy tuck website for more patient stories and reviews:

Meet Barbara

“The initial feeling is unreal”

“I am now more comfortable of my own skin.”

Our tummy tuck patient, Barbara, had sagging abdominal skin, a C-section scar and substantial diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles) after pregnancy, leaving her with an unwanted abdominal bulge that she was unhappy with.

Tired with carrying the excess skin, she decided to choose abdominoplasty to remove the skin as well as repair the muscles. Thrilled with the results, Barbara now feels so much more confident in her body, and that she no longer needs to hide her abdomen.

Meet Marie

“I am thoroughly enjoying my new flat-tummied life.”

With losing significant weight, Marie’s stomach had lost elasticity, and she was left with excess skin on her stomach. After deliberation, Marie eventually decided to choose a tummy tuck with big motivators being the ability to freely choose clothes she wanted and being able to ditch her support pants. Post-surgery, Marie is thrilled with her results. She is overwhelmed by how clothes are now fitting her, and excited to be able to now exercise ‘without being held back’ by her stomach.

Meet Stella

“The procedure was absolutely nowhere near as scary or painful than I imagined it would be; the surgery is so advanced, I had no drain fitted and certainly no complications.”

After loosing a significant amount of weight, Stella was still feeling unhappy with the appearance of her body. Loose skin was left around her stomach which is a very common problem for those who lose a dramatic amount of weight. Stella decided to have a tummy tuck to allow her to finally feel happy with what she had been able to achieve and finally wore a bikini for the first time in her life.

The Mini Tummy Tuck

by Leave a Comment

Is troublesome sagging, stretched tissue on your lower stomach holding back your confidence when it comes to wearing fitted clothing or swim suits? Genetics, pregnancy, weight loss and general ageing can all leave us with this unwanted excess tissue, and unfortunately efforts we make in diet and exercise are often ineffective in resolving it.

For those looking for a solution, a mini tummy tuck (mini abdominoplasty) is an increasingly popular surgical procedure to correct excess tissue in this region, leaving an aesthetically pleasing contour.

What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

Targeting the lower abdomen (lower stomach), a mini tummy tuck removes excess loose skin and fatty tissue between your tummy button and pubic area, leaving a flatter and firmer stomach. Abdominal muscles that have been weakened or stretched can also be repaired and tightened with a Mini Tummy Tuck if necessary. The standard tummy tuck procedure, in comparison, targets the whole stomach area, removing excess skin both below and above the stomach button.

Is a Mini Tummy Tuck the best option for me?

mini tummy tuck before and after photoA mini tummy tuck is best for those who are at a healthy, stable weight, with a small amount of stubborn excess skin and fat between the tummy and pubic region. The stomach of mini tummy tuck patients may have a ‘crinkly’ or sagging appearance and protrude slightly, experiencing some or no lower abdominal over hang. For those with a large amount of sagging excess skin, however, a full tummy tuck may be more appropriate.

Both men and women are eligible for the procedure. However, it is advised that women looking to have children discuss their situation with a surgeon before making a decision, to ensure they can achieve long-lasting results.

The best way to find out if this procedure is the best option for you, however, is to arrange a mini tummy tuck consultation with an expert abdominoplasty surgeon, who will assess your individual case and advise the most suitable course of action.

What does the procedure involve?

An incision is made in between the hips, along the base of the abdomen, typically following the pubic lining. The skin is separated carefully and excess fat and skin in between the pubic area and tummy button is discarded. If required, torn or stretched muscles will also be pulled together and stitched into place, tightening the muscles. There is no incision around the tummy button in this procedure, as takes place in a full tummy tuck procedure.

Mini tummy tucks are shorter and smaller procedures than a standard tummy tuck, usually lasting between 1 and 1 and a half hours. They can often be performed using local anaesthetic but a limit exists on the amount to be removed without general anaesthetic. The procedures offer a slightly quicker recovery and lower, more easily hidden scar than the standard procedure. This scar will also fade over the years.

How much does it cost?

This is the case at The Private Clinic, however, the average cost of our mini tummy tuck procedures starts at £5760.
