Pregnancy and frequent fluctuations in weight can leave you with stretch marks, weak abdominal muscles, and excess, loose skin & fat in your lower belly. An abdominoplasty or commonly known as tummy tuck can help restore a flat, more toned, attractive contour to your tummy and boost your body image. Women often regain their confidence to wear well-fitting dresses and begin to look and feel attractive, sexy, and beautiful, something that they may not have felt for years. You can transform your body under the expert care of Dr.Sudhanva with Tummy Tuck Surgery in Mumbai at our advanced center for aesthetic surgeries at MYB Aesthetics, Khar west.
The pressure of the enlarging uterus in pregnancy often leads to stretching and separation of the abdominal wall muscles resulting in weakness or a gap between them. This gap in the abdominal wall muscles appears as a bulge giving a bloated appearance to women or even making them look pregnant. Diet control and exercise are excellent ways to deal with weak muscle tone and excess fat. However, they do not have much effect on stretch marks or loose abdominal skin. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty involves tightening the abdominal wall muscles and removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen to restore a flat, taut, and more youthful tummy.

Frequently asked questions about Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck has a few types based on amount of flab (loose skin and fat) in the lower belly.
A mini tuck is performed in people with minimal loose skin and fat in the lower tummy. It is performed by a C-section type incision from where the skin is removed. The navel is not cut but only pulled down with the skin that is removed. The core muscles stay untouched. Because of a short scar & quick recovery, a mini tuck in mumbai at our center can be performed as a day care surgery.
A full tummy tuck involves a cut from one hip to other to remove a roll of skin & fat. The Diastasis is corrected by tightening the core muscles in the center. All the skin below the navel is removed and a new point is chosen for a navel.
An extended tummy tuck is performed in patients where the bulge of roll of skin & fat on the hips extends a little on to the back. This a full tummy tuck with part of the incisions running a little extra on the sides . It is performed to avoid leaving behind bulges along the sides and smoothen the curves of your waist.
A belt lipectomy is performed in patients who have lost significant weight and have loose skin at all sides. Here, the cut is made like a belt and excess skin removed circumferentially. It also lifts the butt and improves it shape which may have fallen because of weight loss.

The surgery is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia and takes approximately 2-4.5 hours. The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen below the umbilicus and tightening the abdominal wall muscles.
The upper abdomen skin is pulled down and sutured to give a taut and well-toned abdomen. In case you have a good skin tone and a small amount of skin excess or sag below the umbilicus, a mini-abdominoplasty is performed through a much smaller incision.
Any previous C-section scar is removed and incorporated into the abdominoplasty scar. Liposuction can be performed along with this procedure to address other areas of fat excess. Tubes may be placed, if necessary, to avoid the collection of blood or fluid and are removed after 24-48 hours. A Compression garment is applied.
Following your surgery, you will be under observation until you are fully awake, pain-free, and comfortable. A Flexed position with the head end of bed raised and two pillows under your knees is given.

Will my stretch marks be visible post-surgery?
Most women have stretch marks below the umbilicus, a part which gets removed by a tummy tuck. This skin is replaced by clear upper abdominal skin, giving you a well-contoured tummy without marks. However, if your stretch marks extend above the umbilicus, they may be visible in the lower part of the abdomen.

No tummy tucks are not designed for weight loss but inch loss and contouring. Incorporation of a healthy diet and exercise pattern is necessary to maximise the results.
