Tummy Tuck

A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat and loose skin from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated muscles. The result is a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen. It is especially popular among individuals who have undergone significant weight loss or pregnancy and are left with sagging skin and weakened abdominal muscles that do not improve with exercise.

Signs & Symptoms

Loose, sagging skin around the abdomen

Stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area

Weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)

Stretch marks, particularly below the navel

Loss of abdominal firmness after pregnancy or weight loss

Causes

Pregnancy leads to stretched skin and muscles.

Significant weight fluctuations

The natural ageing process reduces skin elasticity.

Previous abdominal surgeries are causing skin laxity

Genetic factors contributing to fat distribution and skin tone

When to seek medical attention?

 You may consider a tummy tuck if:

Diet and exercise haven't restored a firm abdominal contour

You experience discomfort or self-consciousness due to excess abdominal skin

You have stretched or separated muscles affecting posture or core strength

You want to combine it with other contouring surgeries (like liposuction or mommy makeover)

Diagnostics & Tests

 Physical Examination: Assessment of skin elasticity, fat distribution, and muscle strength

 Medical History Review: To evaluate overall health and surgical readiness

 Blood Tests: For pre-surgical evaluation

 Imaging (if required): To assess the underlying muscle structure and the presence of a hernia

Do’s & Don’ts

 Do's:

Follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions carefully

Wear compression garments to reduce swelling

Take prescribed medications and attend follow-up visits

Eat a healthy diet and stay hydrated for faster healing

 Don'ts:

Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks

Do not smoke or consume alcohol during recovery

Avoid sleeping flat on your stomach until cleared by your surgeon

Don't expect instant results, healing and skin adjustment take time
