Get A Flat Stomach With Tummy Tuck Surgery At Best Cost In Mumbai, India

A partial or Mini tummy tuck is indicated in people who have loose skin only in the lower abdomen. The advantage of a mini tummy tuck is that the scar is shorter and the umbilicus (belly button) is usually not required to be moved. Mini tummy tuck scar is well hidden within the undergarments and is not visible even in a bikini. But the limitations of a mini tummy tuck are that it is not a panacea for all ranges of abdominal skin excess and gives an unaesthetic appearance in improperly selected candidates particularly in respect to the asymmetrically placed umbilicus or fullness above the umbilicus.

Pregnancy and dramatic increase in weight can cause significant stretching of the skin which when repeated or prolonged can cause loss of skin elasticity along with tears in the dermis layer. When the volume of abdominal contents reduce and the stretch factor is gone, the skin will not shrink back to the underlying muscle contour, resulting in lax skin and stretch marks. Stretch or striae marks are more visible after weight loss.

‘Tummy bulge’ is the protrusion of the upper abdomen seen due to weakness in the abdominal muscles. This bulge is resistant to exercises; rather it increases when the patient undertakes abdominal crunches due to an increase in the intra-abdominal pressure. This can be only treated by muscle tightening, which is undertaken as part of tummy tuck surgery.

We usually undertake liposuction contouring of the abdomen, flanks and back in association with a tummy tuck. This is the only way by which 3-dimensional contouring of the abdomen can be done.

Dr. Mohan Thomas usually suggests a week's rest before joining work. Medically speaking you can join in 3 days after the surgery if the liposuction is limited. More days of recovery are required in case the abdominal muscles have been strengthened.

Unmarried people can surely undergo this procedure. The only precaution that Dr. Thomas takes in such circumstances is the limited dissection and muscle tightening so that pregnancy, later on, is safely possible. There are no changes in the internal or external reproductive organs due to this procedure.

A tummy tuck is associated with a well-hidden pencil line scar low in your abdomen. The scar around the belly button is barely visible. These scars usually heal very well and are barely noticeable after 9-12 months.

Pressure garment helps in supporting the skin as well as in reducing the post-operative swelling. It has to be used continuously for 6 weeks if Tummy Tuck has been associated with significant areas of liposuction.

1. Collection of blood and fluid under the skin called Seroma (Rare and easily managed by removal using a needle and compression).
2. Infection along the stitch line causing delayed healing (treated by higher antibiotics).
3. Touch up procedures may be required to correct minor asymmetries.
4. Bulges at the end of the scar called dog ears (usually seen when the scar length is limited and can be corrected by minor surgery under local anesthesia).
5. Loss of blood supply of skin causing skin necrosis (very rare and usually seen in smokers- usually heals on its own or with minor surgery).
