| Mini-Abdominoplasty in Indiana
Patients who have mild skin laxity which may exist after pregnancy or weight gain with subsequent weight loss are the best candidates for this procedure. Upper abdominal liposuction is required with a majority of patients who undergo mini abdominoplasty. A wedge resection of skin is carried out below the belly button, and the scar is placed within the bikini line. Internal suturing may or may not be required, and the need for this depends on the patient’s desires and anatomical considerations. Frequently, Mini-Abdominoplasty and upper abdomen liposuction are performed along with liposuction of the flank and back regions. Again, total truncal rejuvenation is the goal when all of these procedures are combined. This procedure is generally done as an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient returns home the same day of surgery.
