Mini Abdominoplasty (Overnight Stay)

Mini abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a “mini tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, tighten the underlying abdominal muscles, and improve overall contour. Unlike a full abdominoplasty, it focuses primarily on the area below the belly button, offering a less invasive solution with shorter recovery time. An overnight stay allows for monitoring during the initial healing period, ensuring safety and comfort. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons perform precise mini tummy tucks to achieve natural, firm, and aesthetically pleasing abdominal contours.

Treatment Process

Mini abdominoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours. It includes:

Assessment of skin, muscle tone, fat distribution, and overall abdominal contour to plan a personalised surgical approach.

General anaesthesia ensures comfort and safety during the procedure.

A small incision is made just above the pubic area. Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying muscles may be tightened to restore a firmer abdominal wall.

Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and dressings or compression garments are applied. Patients stay overnight for observation and early recovery support.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.
