What is tummy tuck?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure is usually done to improve the appearance of the abdomen after significant weight loss or pregnancy.

What is involved in the procedure?

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery to remove the excess skin and fat from the lower part of the abdomen to give a slimmer and firmer appearance. The procedure also involves liposuction to the upper and lower abdomen and tightening of the abdominal muscles that may have lost their tone, both of which are done based on individual patient requirements.

Who are the typical candidates for an abdominoplasty?

Dr. Shah thoroughly evaluates each patient’s condition before recommending a tummy tuck surgery in mumbai. Typically, patients who come in for an Abdominoplasty are:

Those who have had massive weight loss and have loose sagging skin.
Those who have had multiple pregnancies and have loose bulging lower abdomen with stretch marks.
Those who are generally obese and have a fatty bulging abdomen.

Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty): What it is & Who is the Right Candidate?

How is an abdominoplasty done?

Depending on your body type, this surgery can take anywhere from three to five hours. Surgery is generally done as an inpatient procedure with an admission of 24 to 48 hours. Liposuction may or may not be recommended at the same time. You will receive general anesthesia, which will put you to sleep during the operation

Types of abdominoplasty

Complete abdominoplasty: This option is for patients who need the maximum correction. The incision (cut) is made at the bikini line, at about the same level as your pubic hair. The length of the scar depends on the amount of extra and loose skin on your tummy. Your surgeon will then manipulate and shape the skin as needed. The vertical muscles of your abdomen called the recti muscles will also be tightened during this procedure. You will also have an incision around your navel (belly button) with this procedure, because it’s necessary to free your navel from surrounding tissue and place it in the new position after removal of all the loose skin. Drainage tubes may or may not be placed under your skin. These will be removed in a few days as your surgeon sees fit.
Partial or mini-abdominoplasty: Mini-abdominoplasties are done with shorter incisions and are often performed on people who have less excess skin. Your belly button most likely won’t be moved during this type of procedure. Your skin will be separated between the line of incision and your belly button. This procedure generally takes one to two hours. As with the complete abdominoplasty, you may or may not have drainage tubes after surgery.
Circumferential abdominoplasty: This surgery is for patients who have undergone massive weight loss. The surgery includes the abdomen as well as the back area. When there is a lot of excess skin and fat in the back as well as the abdomen, you may have either liposuction of the back or circumferential abdominoplasty. The circumferential abdominoplasty procedure allows for the removal of both skin and fat from the hip and back areas, which improves the shape of your body from all sides.
Panniculectomy: This procedure is usually done for patients who are generally obese and have a huge bulging lower abdomen. The overhanging and bulky lower abdomen restricts the patient from basic exercises and day to day activities. Also the bulging lower abdomen prevents the patient from maintaining good hygiene and causes fungal infections in the skin below the abdominal fold. For such patients, Panniculectomy procedure is recommended, which involves removal of this excess skin and fatty tissue of the lower abdomen. The procedure is done under general anaesthesia and takes around 3-4 hours. Tightening of the abdominal muscles may or may not be done depending on the patients body type. Drains are placed under your skin which will be removed in 48-72 hours.

What are the benefits of abdominoplasty?

Improved appearance: The most obvious benefit of abdominoplasty is the improved appearance of the abdomen. The procedure can remove excess skin and fat, tighten loose muscles, and create a smoother, more toned-looking abdomen.
Boost in confidence: Many people who have excess skin and fat in the abdominal area feel self-conscious about their appearance. Abdominoplasty can help to boost self-confidence and improve overall body image.
Improved posture: Abdominoplasty can also improve posture by tightening the abdominal muscles. This can help to alleviate back pain and other discomfort that may be caused by poor posture.
Relief from skin irritation: Excess skin in the abdominal area can cause irritation and rashes and at times even fungal infections. Abdominoplasty can remove this excess skin, providing relief from these uncomfortable symptoms.
Improved abdominal function: Tightening the abdominal muscles can improve the function of the abdominal wall, which can help to improve digestion and bowel function.
Long-lasting results: While the results of abdominoplasty are not permanent, they can last for many years with proper diet and exercise.
