What is Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck aka abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery, a part of a mommy makeover, or a standalone operation, performed in both men and women, to transform the shape and tone of the abdomen and even preserve the integrity of the core abdominal muscles. It is not the only surgical replacement for weight loss.

The surgery tightens the abdomen area and can end the misery of excess hanging or loose skin in the abdomen area caused by a baby bump or excessive weight loss. It also manages unsightly stretch marks and makes one feel confident about wearing their favourite bikini and clothes.

When is a Tummy Tuck Required?

A tummy tuck is typically recommended in the following cases:

One has experienced one or multiple pregnancies
Massive weight loss and hanging skin in tummy area
No benefit from long hours at the gym

Weak or separated abdominal muscles
Excessive belly fat or sagging, loose skin
Hernia correction for better abdominal structure
One who wants a firmer, flatter tummy and improved body image.

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty in Ahmedabad with Dr. Parag Telang, can effectively help one achieve a well-contoured abdominal profile and overall looks, thereby boosting one’s esteem.

Various Approaches to Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck can be performed in different areas of the tummy or the whole abdomen. The different types may involve the elimination of extra adipose tissue through a thin, hollow tube called a cannula via an aspirator (a suction), the open excision of the extra belly skin, and/or tightening of the abdominal muscle wall with sutures. In some cases, belly button (umbilicus/navel) repositioning is even included.

Each tummy tuck approach has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. A consultation with a specialist can help find the best-suited type of tummy tuck for a specific individual.

The different types of tummy tuck surgeries include:

Full tummy tuck in Ahmedabad- It is the most common type, addressing significant whole abdomen laxity including extra skin/fat. It includes muscle repair and even belly button repositioning. The incision is made from one hip to another in the underwear line.

Mini tummy tuck- It is a limited technique, reserved for individuals having a moderate amount of excess skin and fat below the navel. It involves making a shorter incision.
Extended tummy tuck- It is performed to address laxity of the upper and lower abdomen as well as the flanks. The surgery involves making an elongated incision across the lower belly and may include muscle repair if required. It tones the whole abdomen and hips.
Fleur-De-Lis tummy tuck- This is reserved for people having extra skin and pockets of diet and exercise-resistant fat on the lower abdomen, upper abdomen, sides, and middle and seeking a slimmer waistline. The surgery is performed through two incisions that make an inverted T: one horizontal from hip to hip and another vertical in the middle of the abdomen.
Reverse tummy tuck- This is for only those having extra skin and fat on the upper abdomen and need no muscle repair. The incision is made in the natural br-east crease.

Recovery From Tummy Tuck

The patient is expected to take adequate rest for 2-4 days and allow healing to complete in over 6-8 weeks before returning to normal routine, including exercise
During the recovery, the patient must well protect the incision wounds from impact or abrasive movement and alleviate swelling with compression garments
Follow-up visits should not be avoided. To avoid infection, an antibiotics course is a must to take and any discomfort can be relieved with pain-killing medicine.

Not being a substance addict

Being an adult with a BMI below 30
