Full Abdominoplasty vs mini Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasties are broken down into two types: full and mini.

Full Abdominoplasties

As implied by the name, a full abdominoplasty is a more intense and invasive procedure for patients with more extreme cases like post-pregnancy or after a sizable weight loss.

It aims to treat muscle separation, removing and separating loose skin in the abdomen area. Abdominoplasty procedures involve general anaesthesia and typically last from 3-5 hours. Most patients make a full recovery in 4-6 weeks.

Mini Abdominoplasty

A mini abdominoplasty is a less invasive procedure that aims to remove excess loose skin for patients who don’t need major reduction of extra tissue. Mini abdominoplasty tend to focus only on the lower abdomen and patients can be sedated by a local or general anaesthetic.  Since the procedure is less severe than a full abdominoplasty, patients usually recover in 1-3 weeks. Depending on your condition and desired results, your cosmetic surgeon will determine what is the best procedure for you. To make the best choices for you and give you your desired results, it is important to have the right information and to be guided through the process by an experienced cosmetic surgeon. The most important decision to make regarding abdominoplasty Cosmetic Surgery is whether Liposculpture / Liposuction could be a suitable alternative. Liposculpture / Liposuction is a less invasive procedure with minimal scarring. Liposuction is generally more suitable to younger patients with good skin elasticity

Why Have Abdominoplasty?

tummy loosing weight

tummy improve muscle

abdominoplasty Procedure

At your consultation with Dr Goldman, you will discuss your expectations and the ideal results you are looking for.

Abdominoplasty Cosmetic Surgery is a major cosmetic surgical procedure so it is imperative that all options are considered in detail before making a final decision.

Dr Goldman will thoroughly go through this important choice with you.

As a guideline, if large fat deposits are involved and there is bulging of the abdominal muscles or excess skin and fat hanging over the pubic region, it is most likely that you will require abdominoplasty cosmetic surgery.

If the excessive skin and fat is focused more directly below the navel, then a smaller operation termed “Mini-Tuck” Cosmetic Surgery is potentially a better choice.

Dr Goldman will review your body areas of concern and recommend the procedure that will work best for you.
