Mini-Abdominoplasty | Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

If you only need a tightening of the lower abdominal region – i.e. if those former fat deposits were only located there –, then a mini-abdominoplasty at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery may be the treatment of choice. This procedure is best suited for slim people. A potential divergence of abdominal muscles cannot be corrected with this kind of surgery.

Under certain conditions, the mini-abdominoplasty at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery can be performed as an outpatient operation. The operation will last about one hour. Compared to the large abdominoplasty, the incision will be shorter and is placed in the area of pubic hair. During the mini-abdominoplasty, the abdominal wall will only be detached from the musculature up to the navel. This part between navel and incision is being drawn downwards and thus tensioned. Excess tissue is removed, and the edges of the wound are brought into congruence. At the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we will close them with several layers of internal sutures. After this operation, the scar will be completely within the bikini line. 

On principle, the aftercare process for a mini-abdominoplasty is the same as for the large abdominoplasty. But since the wound areas are smaller, the healing process takes less time. We will inform you comprehensively in a detailed personal consultation about any potential risks as well as how we will proceed with our treatment in your individual case.
