Non-Surgical or Other Surgical Alternatives to a Miniabdominoplasty:

Anesthesia with a Miniabdominoplasty:

A miniabdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and completely unaware during the procedure.

Potential Complications from a Miniabdominoplasty:

Possible risks following a miniabdominoplasty include infection, bleeding, swelling, scarring and a negative reaction to the anesthesia. It is also possible to experience fluid accumulation under the skin and for reduced blood supply to lead to necrosis.

Recovery from a Miniabdominoplasty:

Total recovery from a miniabdominoplasty takes four to six weeks.
