The Awake Mini Tummy Tuck is a new outpatient procedure that aims at mini abdominoplasty while the patient is awake. As for the advantages of mini tummy tuck, the procedure is performed under local anesthetic, letting the patient recover faster and return quicker to daily activities.
Our Awake Mini Tummy Tuck is a complete innovation that allows people to achieve abdominal shaping. It is a less invasive surgery, has fewer after-effects, and requires a shorter recovery time. Get a smoother belly in less time without a whole lot of pain. Best for those patients who want to achieve good cosmetic outcomes but do not have time to recover from traditional abdominoplasty.
Tumescent anesthesia used for awake mini tummy tuck is easier on the body and safer than a general anesthesia, so Dr. Jain prefers to use it for awake mini tummy tuck and countless other treatments by Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons. Patients also like Awake anesthesia for a lot of reasons.
The people who are suitable to receive an Awake Mini Tummy Tuck are the ones who have protruding, sagging, or stretched bellies. This is usually witnessed in women after childbirth and in men and women after weight loss. Both men and women can get a better-shaped flat stomach through an Awake Mini Tummy Tuck.

An awake mini tummy tuck is a procedure developed for patients who do not want a full tummy tuck under general anesthesia but need to improve their appearance significantly. Awake mini tummy tuck utilizes liposuction and extra skin excision to achieve the desired outcome. Compared to a regular tummy tuck, whereby an extensive incision is done under general anesthesia and the recovery process is lengthy, the awake mini tummy tuck technique removes excess redundant skin under local anesthesia.
Most patients can return to work within 2-3 days following this procedure. As usual with any procedure, there are associated side effects such as swelling and discomfort, but when it comes to the results and prompt recovery, patients cannot praise enough the new tight-shaped abdomen.
This is most effective for people experiencing severe abdominal skin laxity due to childbirth and those who have lost a lot of weight.
Awake mini tummy tuck is a procedure under local anesthesia and is a much more gentle then traditional abdominoplasty. Local anesthesia with oral medications puts the patient into a state of relaxation generally referred to as ‘twilight,’ a state of consciousness where the patient is awake but not in pain. Patients can talk to the surgeon and help in surgery when helpfully moving their bodies. Awake anesthesia also fades from the body system within two days, which indicates that the patient recovers faster than when general anesthesia is used.
The patient is comfortable and anesthetized during the awake mini tummy tuck since a tumescent solution is administered. This fluid has a combination of saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine. Epinephrine constricts blood vessels, hence reducing bleeding, while lidocaine controls pain and has a long duration of up to 12-18 hours of anesthesia to the abdomen after surgery to enhance post-operation comfort. The tumescent fluid also aids in the liposuction of the fat cells, making it easier for the surgeon to suction the excess fat in a less invasive manner.
