Most people probably are not aware that there is such a procedure as a mini tummy tuck. It is really something you should look into if you are considering getting a tummy tuck. It can save you a lot on cost and it is a much faster recovery period. This procedure is pretty common among males because they will not need as much work done as a female who suffers from stretched skin due to pregnancy.

A standard tummy tuck can be expensive and run you up a good size medical bill. But if you need a lot of work done this may be your only option. If you are suffering from a significant amount of saggy and loose skin you are probably looking at the standard tummy tuck. If you are over 10% over your recommended weight compared to your height you are most likely going to have to go with a full abdominoplasty. It is not a bad thing; it's just more accommodating for your situation.

If you are within 10% the recommend weight for your height you are in luck. A mini tummy tuck is a plausible option for you. You will be able to save about half of your money and your recovery time is much faster. Just like any procedure you should discuss it with your doctor before proceeding because your doctor will know what is best for you after examining your body. If you are lucky enough to have the option of a mini abdominoplasty consider yourself fortunate because that is not the case with most people.

When deciding, you should consult with more than one doctor. Every doctor will have their own opinion and it may differ from doctor to doctor. You of course should always choose the safest procedure and if the majority of the doctors are recommending a certain procedure it is best to follow their advice. If you visit 5 doctors and 4 of them recommend a full tummy tuck and only 1 says a mini tummy tuck is needed you may want to go with a full abdominoplasty. You should not go with the 1 doctor because he gave you the answer you wanted to hear. Be safe and consult with many doctors to get the best advice.
