Full vs. mini tummy tuck
A full abdominoplasty addresses the whole abdomen with muscle repair and belly-button repositioning. A mini tummy tuck treats loose skin below the navel only. Many clients combine a tummy tuck with Lipo 360 for waist definition.
Who is a candidate?
Clients with loose skin, stretched muscles or a lower-belly 'pouch' that diet and exercise won't fix — typically after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Non-smokers at a stable weight who are not planning further pregnancies get the most lasting results.
What recovery looks like
Expect drains for several days, a bent-forward posture for the first week, and a compression garment for 6–8 weeks. Your nurse manages drains, medications and wound care in your private accommodation. Desk work usually resumes at 2–3 weeks; exercise at 6–8 weeks with surgeon clearance.
Scarring
The incision runs low across the pelvis and is placed so it is hidden by underwear or a bikini. Scars fade significantly over 12–18 months; silicone scar care is part of your recovery plan.
Tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover
Combined with breast surgery and liposuction, a tummy tuck becomes a mommy makeover. Whether to combine or stage procedures is a medical decision based on surgical time and your health.
