Tummy Tuck Treatment in Pune

Techniques Used in Tummy Tuck

1. Full Tummy Tuck

Our surgeons remove excess skin and fat from the entire abdomen while tightening abdominal muscles.

2. Mini Tummy Tuck

In this technique, a smaller incision is made below the belly button to address minor skin laxity and fat.

3. Extended Tummy Tuck

This procedure is ideal for post-weight-loss patients to deal with excess skin and fat across the entire lower abdomen and flanks.

4. Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

This technique is best suited for massive weight loss patients. Here, both vertical and horizontal incisions are made to remove excess skin.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tuck surgery is recommended for individuals who:

• Have sagging skin in the abdominal region.
• Experience muscle separation after pregnancy.
• Struggle with stubborn fat and skin laxity despite a healthy lifestyle.
• Want to enhance their body contours after significant weight loss?
• Are in good health and have realistic expectations.

If you are planning for future pregnancy, then this procedure is not suitable for you. Moreover, if you have a condition that causes massive weight swings, then this procedure might not deliver the expected results.

Benefits and Limitations of Breast Augmentation

Advantages:

• Eliminates loose, sagging skin for a smoother, firmer abdomen.
• Strengthens core muscles, improving posture and back support.
• Provides long-lasting results with proper maintenance.
• Enhances confidence and allows for better-fitting clothing.
• It can improve overall comfort and mobility.

Considerations:

• Leaves a scar along the lower abdomen (which fades over time).
• Not a substitute for weight loss or a solution for obesity.
• It may cause temporary swelling and discomfort.

Recovery Time

The recovery time for each patient is different. But an overall and general recovery time calendar generally looks like this:

• First Week: Our surgeons recommend wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing.
• Two Weeks: Patients can resume light activities but should avoid lifting heavy objects.
• Four Weeks: Moderate physical activities can be resumed with caution.
• Three Months: Swelling significantly reduces, and final contours start becoming visible.
• Six Months: The abdomen fully heals, and scars continue fading.

When patients strictly follow our post-surgery guidelines, they get quicker and better recovery.
