This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have:
Lost significant weight,
Experienced pregnancy-related abdominal stretching, or
Have sagging skin due to ageing.
Abdominoplasty not only enhances physical appearance but also improves core strength, posture, and self-confidence.
India has become a leading destination for tummy tuck surgery, offering world-class plastic surgeons, state-of-the-art hospitals, and affordable treatment costs, making it one of the most sought-after countries for cosmetic surgery tourism.
Through VivaVel Health, international patients can access accredited hospitals and board-certified cosmetic surgeons specializing in abdominoplasty, with complete medical tourism assistance - from virtual consultations and visa support to travel, accommodation, and post-surgery care.
You may consider abdominoplasty if you experience:
Excess or sagging abdominal skin hanging over the waistline.
Loose muscles around the belly area.
Persistent lower belly bulge despite regular exercise.
Stretch marks below the navel.
Weak core or poor posture can result from weak or underdeveloped muscles.
Low confidence in appearance after childbirth or weight loss.
Abdominoplasty is commonly sought for both medical and cosmetic reasons, including:
Loose or sagging skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Separation of abdominal muscles (Diastasis Recti).
Stubborn belly fat resistant to diet or exercise.
Ageing-related loss of skin elasticity.
Previous abdominal surgeries have led to uneven contours.
Desire for a flatter, more toned abdomen.
You should consult a plastic surgeon if:
Your abdominal area remains flabby or stretched despite exercise.
You experience skin irritation or infections under excess folds.
You are planning body contouring after bariatric surgery.
You wish to combine liposuction and abdominoplasty for better results.
You are physically healthy and have realistic expectations.
Before surgery, the surgeon performs a detailed evaluation that includes:
Medical history and physical examination.
Abdominal wall assessment for muscle separation.
Photographic and body contour analysis.
Routine lab tests (CBC, blood sugar, ECG, etc.).
Pre-surgery counselling on expectations and recovery timeline.
Do’s & Don’ts After Abdominoplasty
Do’s:
Wear your compression garment as advised.
Follow post-operative wound care instructions carefully.
Walk slowly after 1–2 days to promote circulation.
Eat a protein-rich, low-sodium diet to aid healing.
Attend all follow-up appointments.
Don’ts:
Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks.
Do not smoke or consume alcohol during recovery.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach.
Don’t remove dressings or sutures on your own.
Recovery & Outlook
Initial recovery: 1–2 weeks for mild pain and swelling to subside.
Full recovery: 4–6 weeks for complete healing and contour visibility.
Long-term outcome: Flatter abdomen, tighter muscles, improved posture, and enhanced self-confidence.
With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results of abdominoplasty can last for many years.
