Achieve outstanding results with minimal downtime
Partial abdominoplasty, commonly known as mini tummy tuck, can be an excellent cosmetic surgery option for you if you have only a small amount of excess abdominal skin that requires removal, and do not have significantly sagging abdominal muscles.
If your abdominal muscle wall is just beginning to sag due to the onset of aging, or you have a slim abdomen that you wish to sculpt to a more youthful shape, you can get in touch with Dr. Kiran Gill, an experienced female plastic surgeon for mini tummy tuck surgery.
Dr. Gill delivers a nuanced, personalized outcome that is tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic sensibilities. Her expertise in body sculpting ensures a seamless, stress-free cosmetic journey every time.
The Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure
Dr. Gill will usually perform her mini tummy tuck using local anesthesia and mild sedation, but may recommend general anesthesia in certain cases. She will evaluate the amount of excess skin to be removed to determine the length of the incision. In any case, the incision will be smaller than what is needed in the case of a full tummy tuck.
Accomplished Dr. Gill sometimes refers to mini tummy tuck as a “scarless surgery” as she is able to keep the scarring minimal and discreet in most cases. Navel repositioning will not be involved in this surgery, but Dr. Gill may suggest liposuction in conjunction with a mini tummy tuck to create more sculpted results if you have stubborn fat bulges in the abdominal area.
Dr. Gill will expose a small section of the abdominal wall through the incisions to perform the procedure. The treatment area may extend from the incision site to the navel.
She will remove excess fat and tighten the loose abdominal muscles, and finally stretch the abdominal skin downward, while excising loose skin and suturing the remaining skin tightly into place. She may place temporary drainage tubes in the incision area.
This safe and less invasive body contouring procedure with Dr. Gill will leave you with a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen.
Who is a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck?
Dr. Kiran Gill may recommend her tummy tuck if you want to achieve more youthful looking abdominal contours, but do not have excessive fat deposits or large amounts of loose skin in the lower abdomen. If your abdomen is relatively slim, but you want to have it re-sculpted into a more desirable shape, you may be a prudent candidate for a mini tummy tuck.
Dr. Gill will remind you during the initial consultation that it is still a plastic surgery procedure and will require some time for recovery and healing. You should be in decent health and have reasonable expectations about the results of this surgery.
Mini Tummy Tuck Recovery
Dr. Gill usually performs a mini tummy tuck as an outpatient surgery, and you can return home in a few hours after the procedure.
She uses minimally invasive techniques to ensure reduced tissue trauma, which will ensure a faster and more comfortable recovery.
Dr. Gill may prescribe pain medications for a few days to address any post-operative discomfort.
You can return to your normal routine within a few days after a mini tummy tuck, but should avoid vigorous activities for a few weeks.
