On average, patients require a few days of downtime. If you have a sedentary career, you will be able to return to work quicker than those with a physically demanding job. Abdominal muscles may be able to heal within two weeks of surgery but every body is different and you will experience your own recovery timeline. It is important that you follow Dr. Erfani’s recovery instructions and get plenty of rest. A follow-up appointment with the doctor will help you achieve your best results.
A full tummy tuck is a more extensive procedure than a mini tummy tuck. This abdominal surgery requires a longer incision – from hip to hip. The procedure includes repairing the abdominal muscles, removing excess skin and re-adjusting the remaining skin to fit the belly button. A full tummy tuck is often pursued by women who have given birth or by patients who have lost a moderate amount of weight. A mini tummy tuck on the other hand, requires a small linear incision through which excess skin is removed and abdominal muscles are tightened.
Sometimes, it depends on the patient and what their body needs. Dr. Erfani will help determine the specific details of your mini tummy tuck during your private meeting with him.
The cost of a tummy tuck fluctuates between patients because it is a customized procedure. There are many techniques that can be used in addition to a tummy tuck to ensure your best results. Dr. Erfani and you will work together to create your best treatment plan. The doctor will also go over a cost breakdown of your procedure with you.
A mini tummy tuck will not hurt. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety during surgery. Dr. Erfani will prescribe pain medication so you can control any discomfort during recovery. The medication will only be needed for a few days after which you can use an over-the-counter medication like Tylenol to ensure your comfort.
