Tummy Tuck

WHAT IS TUMMY TUCK SURGERY?

A Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty surgery involves removal of excess fat and loose skin from the abdominal area and tightening the muscles in the midline.As we age, the abdomen easily stores excess fat that is stubborn and resistant to diet and exercise. Both men and women tend to accumulate fat in the middle third of the body. Commonly after pregnancy or repeated weight fluctuation, skin and fat accumulates in the middle third of the body and there is divarication (separation) of muscles in the midline.When there is skin excess along with fat, Tummy Tuck is better than liposuction alone, to give you a flat tummy. Commonly both procedures are used in combination to perform a ‘Lipo-Tummy Tuck’.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TUMMY TUCK SURGERY?

POST PREGNANCY

During pregnancy and childbirth, there is fat accumulation and stretching of the abdominal skin, along with thinning and separation of the muscles. After delivery, some changes reverse but there is residual loose hanging skin and muscle weakness which is easily corrected by a Tummy Tuck.

​

MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS

Rapid weight loss often leads to lose and sagging skin and stubborn pockets of fat all over the body. This is resistant to exercise and diet as the skin has lost its elasticity and recoil ability. This can be surgically removed by a Tummy Tuck.

AGING AND GRAVITY

As we age, skin loses its elasticity and strength. Gravity plays an important role in the sagging of tissues. Since men and women both tend to accumulate fat around the abdomen, excess fat and loose skin is often seen.
