Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery
A mini tummy tuck is a procedure that targets the lower abdomen, often at a similar place to a caesarean section scar. It is an ideal procedure in. Patients who have a mummy pouch. Which describes a tethered caesarean scar and laxity to the skin above the scar. This can prove. Debilitating and unsightly, and frequently is a source of distress.
A mini tummy tuck or many abdominoplasty can be performed under local anaesthetic, twilight anaesthetic or general anaesthetic. The key is to ensure that there is enough skin remaining between the belly button and the pubic region, to avoid the belly button being pulled down too much. In a mini tummy tuck a crescent or ellipse of skin is removed and the scar is as long as required, often being from hip to hip. No muscle tightening is performed and there is no scar around the belly button, unlike in a full tummy tuck. Therefore, as much skin is removed as will allow a normal and aesthetic abdomen to remain, but not so much as to pull their belly button down into a non-anatomical position.
A mini-tummy tuck can be an excellent procedure when the issue is very focused on the lower abdomen, often due to scar related or skin overhang related issues.
Surgery to lift the upper eyelids (upper blepharoplasty) is one of the most popular local anaesthetic plastic surgery procedures. It has a quick recovery and the results are very natural, giving a refreshed and brighter appearance to the face. Upper blepharoplasty can be performed as a procedure on its own, but is frequently combined with other procedures, such as surgery to the brow, facelifts, or other plastic surgery operations.
