Tummy Tuck Surgery in Mumbai, India

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure which helps to reshape the abdomen. During this procedure, the excess fat and skin present in the tummy gets removed. One might opt for a tummy tuck procedure to remove the excess skin around the belly button or in the lower abdominal area. A tummy tuck not only removes the extra skin bulges but also helps to tighten the weak abdominal muscles, reposition the umbilicus (belly button), removes stretch marks and excess fat from the abdomen. It can also be done in combination with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction if the patient also complains of excess fat in the tummy. This combination procedure is referred to as Lipoabdominoplasty.

Indications for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Below are the reasons to consider opting for Tummy tuck surgery:

Excess of skin in the abdominal area post-pregnancy.
Exercise and diet has helped in weight loss, but now there’s excess loosely hanging tummy skin that bothers the person.
Excess of weight is carried in the middle section which makes the person’s body appear imbalanced.
Pregnancy, aging or any previous surgery/procedure done earlier has made the abdominal muscles weak.
Excess fat and skin on the tummy is affecting its shape.
The person desires a slim body and wishes to look good in tight fitted clothes.

A person is an ideal candidate for Abdominoplasty if:

He/she has loose skin in the abdominal area and wishes to remove it.
He/she has good physical as well as emotional health.
He/she has realistic goals from tummy tuck surgery and understands that it is important to maintain the weight after a tummy tuck surgery to enjoy the results for a very long period.
The woman has already had a baby and is not planning any more children in future. If she plans a baby again, the results of tummy tuck will be revered.
He/she has already achieved stable ideal body weight and does not plan to lose more weight. Because, further weight loss after tummy tuck surgery can result in sagging abdominal skin again.

Treatment Options for Tummy Tuck surgery in Mumbai

The doctor after examining the body, suggests the best treatment options which are as below:

Full Abdominoplasty or Traditional tummy tuck: In this procedure a horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen between the belly button and hip area. The excess muscles are tightened and the skin is removed. It is suitable for those individuals who desire a flat abdomen.
Mini Abdominoplasty: This is a procedure which is considered to be less invasive. The horizontal incision is made low in the pubic area. Individuals having laxity below the navel area are considered to be suitable candidates for this type of procedure.
High or Extended Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty: If you have excess skin on the hip area, then you can consider this procedure. It helps in weight loss after pregnancy.
Circumferential Tummy Tuck (Belt Lipectomy): It is used in cases where a body lift is required. It is more invasive and is frequently performed on individuals who have had gastric bypass surgery or have lost a lot of weight and have lost a lot of skin elasticity. On either side, a horizontal incision runs from the lower belly to the back (like a belt).
