Besides the questions like “what is a mini tummy tuck or how much does a mini tummy tuck cost?”, people also wonder how the process goes. It can be said that the mini tummy tuck procedure is the same as a full tummy tuck except for the fact that, a mini tummy tuck requires less skin and fat.
The surgery can be done under different anesthesia methods. It can be general anesthesia, local anesthesia, or epidural anesthesia in order to the preferences of the surgeon and the patient.
The procedure takes approximately 1-3 hours. However, a mini tummy tuck length may change due to several factors like the process type, preparation for surgery, and the patient’s health condition. Abdominal fat and excess skin, or part of the abdominal skin can be removed during the process. At last, incisions are sutured, and after closing the cut with stitches, the procedure is completed.
