Mini Tummy Tuck Cost in Mexico
The average mini tummy tuck cost in Tijuana is $3,800 USD. Your tummy tuck cost can vary depending on your individual needs as a plastic surgery patient, but in general, if you’re looking for an affordable tummy tuck surgery, Tijuana is a great place to start.
Why choose a mini tummy tuck surgery over a full tummy tuck surgery? During a tummy tuck surgery, your surgeon makes an incision in your swimsuit line, usually just above the pubic hairline. After that, the tummy tuck surgeon proceeds to release different skin attachments and re-drape them towards the incision and remove any excess skin. This is what allows the doctor to restore a flat shape.
However, the skin attachments released will vary depending on where the problem areas are, and this is the difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini. During a full tummy tuck surgery, the surgeon also releases the attachment of the skin to the belly button. By doing this, the doctor is able to re-tighten both upper and lower tummy skin, repair damage to the abdominal walls entirely, and give you an overall flat abdomen while repositioning the belly button in case it was droopy. When the problem in your abdomen does not end at the belly button line, only a full tummy tuck surgery will get you the best results.
But if your areas of concern are only below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck procedure might be right for you. During a mini, your doctor will only do this with the excess skin below the belly button.
