MILA surgery- MINIMALLY INVASIVE LIPO-ABDOMINOPLASTY SURGERY

On the day of your MILA Surgery, the procedure follows these carefully planned steps to ensure accurate and effective results:

• Small, Discreet Incisions: The surgeon begins by making small incisions in areas of the abdomen strategically chosen to allow access to the underlying muscles and fat. These incisions are designed to minimise visible scarring, though the final result depends on individual healing responses.
• Repairing Abdominal Muscles: For patients with rectus diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles), the surgeon carefully sutures the muscles back together to restore core strength and reduce abdominal bulging. Tools such as video-endoscopic systems or robotic technology may be utilised where appropriate to support accuracy and minimise tissue disruption.
• Fat Removal (if needed): If localised fat deposits are present, your plastic surgeon may use targeted liposuction techniques to remove excess fat. This step is carefully performed to sculpt and contour the abdomen, enhancing its shape and achieving a smoother, more balanced appearance.
• Skin Tightening (if needed): If mild skin laxity is present, the plastic surgeon may address this during the procedure by carefully excising excess skin or utilising other surgical methods to achieve a firmer and smoother result.
• Closing the Incisions: Once the procedure is complete, your plastic surgeon carefully closes the incisions using fine sutures or surgical adhesives, aiming to minimise visible scarring and promote optimal healing. Patients should follow post-operative care instructions closely to support the healing process.
