Mini abdominoplasty (gentle tummy tuck)

A sagging belly after childbirth is a problem familiar to many women. Proper nutrition and vigorous training rarely cope with new forms. What remains? Constantly shy and hide in closed swimsuits when there is a mini-version of a surgical procedure called mini-abdominoplasty.

In the MC Dobrobut clinic in Kyiv, highly qualified plastic surgeons perform body-modeling surgery or limited abdominal plastic surgery with extensive experience in performing such procedures.

The operation is performed if the problem concerns the area below the navel. Excess skin and subcutaneous fat are excised, but the navel does not move.

Indications and contraindications for mini-abdominoplasty

The most common problem is the discrepancy of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall (diastasis), which occurs after childbirth. An operation in Ukraine is performed if there are stretch marks and fat folds in the area below the navel, and the skin has become loose and sagging.

Surgical intervention will have to be abandoned with the following list of pathologies:

metabolic disorders, in particular, diabetes mellitus;
blood diseases, its poor coagulability;
inflammatory processes in the area of the forthcoming intervention;
cancer diseases.

Types of mini-abdominoplasty

There are several ways to correct the abdominal area. In each case, the doctor approaches the patient individually and suggests the optimal technique. Among the main methods:

de-epidermis of the skin accompanying liposuction;
the paraumbilical technique that removes stretch marks and laxity near the navel;
intervention in the bikini area to combat the effects of hernias. The skin is tightened, and the scars after a cesarean disappear.

As for the price of mini-abdominoplasty, it is 1/3 lower than the procedure for a full tummy tuck.

Benefits of the operation:

low invasiveness;

barely visible scar;

short and easy recovery.

The cost of surgical intervention depends on the amount of work and materials used and is calculated by the doctor in each case individually.
