A mini abdominoplasty targets the lower abdomen below the navel, while a full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdominal area, including above and below the navel, with more extensive muscle and skin tightening.
A patient is typically considered a good candidate for an abdominoplasty if they have excess skin in the abdominal area, typically due to significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. The excess skin may hang or create a sagging appearance. Another factor that is considered when evaluating a patient for an abdominoplasty is if they have weakened or separated abdominal muscles, often caused by pregnancy or significant weight changes, resulting in a protruding or bulging abdomen. It is also important for tentative patients to have reached a stable weight and are not planning significant weight loss or pregnancy in the near future. Fluctuations in weight can affect the results of the procedure.
On average, the recovery of an abdominoplasty ranges from 6-8 weeks. The most intense part of the recovery will take place the first few days following the procedure. During this time you will experience bruising, swelling, soreness, and a tight sensation of the abdomen. While you are experiencing these common side effects, it is important to not over-exert yourself and allow your body to rest as anything too intense will prolong your recovery and potentially distort your results.
