What a mini tummy tuck involves
A mini tummy tuck removes a smaller amount of loose skin and fat from the lower abdomen, below the belly button, through a scar shorter than that of a full abdominoplasty. The belly button is usually left in place. Some patients also have tightening of the lower abdominal muscles. It is designed for people with a mild lower-tummy overhang rather than widespread laxity, and is typically a shorter procedure with a quicker recovery than a full tummy tuck.
Factors that affect your quote
Your price is confirmed after consultation. Factors include the amount of skin and fat to remove, whether muscle tightening is needed, whether liposuction of the flanks or upper abdomen is added, whether a same-day discharge or overnight stay is planned, and your medical history. If examination shows loose skin extending above the belly button, a full abdominoplasty (from £12,000) or lipoabdominoplasty (from £12,500) may be more appropriate. Our mini vs full tummy tuck guide explains the difference.
How it compares with related procedures
For context, a full abdominoplasty is from £12,000 and an abdominoplasty with 360 liposuction is from £15,000. Liposuction of one area is from £7,500. Liposuction alone does not remove loose skin, so it may cost less but not address an overhang. Choosing the procedure that matches your anatomy is more important than choosing the lowest price. A mini tummy tuck performed on someone who really needs a full abdominoplasty may leave a bulge or loose skin above the scar, and correcting this later means a second operation, a second recovery and a second bill. That is why the examination at consultation matters so much, and why the final recommendation may differ from the procedure you first had in mind.
Paying for your surgery and finance
A deposit secures your date, with the balance paid before surgery. Finance is available through Chrysalis Finance, allowing the cost to be spread over monthly payments, subject to status. Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Borrowing should be affordable for you, and you will be given full terms before agreeing. Current prices are on our prices page. It is also sensible to budget for practical costs outside the surgical fee, such as time off work, help at home during the first week and any travel to follow-up appointments.
Why very cheap surgery abroad carries risks
Low-cost packages abroad can seem attractive, but the headline price may exclude follow-up, garments and treatment of complications. Flying soon after abdominal surgery increases the risk of blood clots, and problems such as seroma or wound healing issues often appear after you have returned home, when your surgeon is no longer available. Revision surgery to correct poor results can cost more than the original operation. UK care allows regular face-to-face follow-up with the surgeon who operated.
Is it good value for you?
Many people search for the cheapest quote, but price alone says little about quality. Value comes from a result that suits your body and safe, continuous aftercare. Mr Nassab will be honest if a mini tummy tuck is unlikely to meet your goals, or if waiting until after weight loss or future pregnancies would be wiser. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over.
