By Gone are the days when one had to stand one’s flabby body no matter how inconvenient or shameful one might find it.
Today various cosmetic procedures are available to shed the extra fat layers around the body to make the body look not only beautiful but also feel light and confident.

One of the most popular among these is a mini tummy tuck. But you may have heard about a tummy tuck and may wonder what a ‘mini’ tummy tuck is.
Well, a mini tummy tuck is a variant of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). It is done by giving a shorter incision at or above the pubic area. This incision resembles the one given for a cesarean section.
Thus a mini tummy tuck is a revised tummy tuck that makes use of a C-section-like incision to remove excessive lower abdominal skin and tighten muscles.
Who is the Right Candidate for a Mini Tummy Tuck?
The right candidate for a mini tummy tuck is a person having most of his problems below the navel and has always been in shape but is not able to address the issue with exercise and diet.
Tummy tuck is perfect for those who have less excessive tummy region skin or fat localised in the mid-abdomen part and wish to tighten the tummy area below the navel.
Who Should Not Have Mini Tummy Tuck?
Anyone who is planning to become pregnant should not undergo any type of tummy tuck procedure.
How is Mini Tummy Tuck Different than Full Tummy Tuck?
The incision given in the mini tummy tuck is smaller and less visible than that given in a full tummy tuck. In a mini tummy tuck there is only one incision involved.
However the aim of a full or mini tummy tuck is the same, i.e. to form a flatter, tighter stomach.
According to professional surgeons doing mini tummy tuck Melbourne by Chelsea Cosmetics Melbourne, a mini tummy tuck includes more limited removal of skin and fat and tightening of muscles, hence smaller incision can be used and in several cases, an incision around the belly button is not required.
Thus in mini tummy tuck, repositioning of the navel is not required as it is required in a full tummy tuck or abdominoplasty.
Irrespective of what kind of tummy tuck treatment is required, the outcomes of lipoabdominoplasty or abdominoplasty are pretty impressive.
A person’s stomach with plenty of loose skin and a bulging belly can be made completely smooth, flat and free of several stretch marks.
So, a person with otherwise trim body but having loose skin can be benefited by a mini tummy tuck.
Typically this procedure is recommended to those who have no laxity or laxity only in the muscle beneath the navel.
Another difference is that the recovery period for a mini tummy tuck is shorter than the regular tummy tuck. Post-surgery care is also relatively easier.
However, it should be remembered that it’s considered to be a major surgery.

What Should You Expect?
It should be remembered that after a tummy tuck you will have a scar. However, you can cover it well with clothes and it’s hardly visible in a swim suit.
But it’s not a scar that can be left in a crease like the one left after a facelift or breast augmentation.
It depends on whether you undergo a mini tummy tuck or a traditional one how your scar will look like.
The procedure may be coupled with liposuction to remove excess skin and fat below the navel.
All in all, you can get mini as well as traditional tummy tuck and professional coolsculpting Melbourne from Chelsea Cosmetics Melbourne and make your body perfect. So, why don’t you try one?
