What Is A Mini Tummy Tuck?
A small tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that is suitable for patients who have a small area of excess skin on their lower abdomen. This is usually a lot less skin that needs to be removed in comparison to a traditional tummy tuck.
A mini tummy tuck is more suitable for patients after childbirth who have lost weight and are left with a small area of loose skin.
Nights In Hospital
Patients for a mini tummy tuck aren’t required to stay overnight.
RECOVERY
Recovery and light exercise can resume after 4 weeks, but recovery can take up to 6 weeks.
FULL RESULTS
Full results can vary for patients but can take 6 weeks+, depending on your case.

We encourage an open and honest conversation and will answer any questions during and after the consultation.
It may also be unsuitable for those who have been pressured to improve their body by others or have a large volume of fat removal and excess skin, where the belly button may need to be repositioned. We would then suggest a full abdominoplasty.
The cost of a mini tummy tuck will be disclosed on a case-by-case basis, as it depends on what exactly is required. After the initial consultation, Mr Ross, if he believes you are suitable for a mini tummy tuck, will give you a quote for surgery that will include the surgeon, anaesthetic and hospital fees.
The main difference is the procedure, as small tummy tucks require less fat removal and involve a smaller amount of excess tissue.
