Abdominoplasty in India is mostly performed in two different types, full
tummy tuck, and mini tummy tuck.

Full Tummy Tuck: This is performed when abdominal muscles need tightening
both above and below the belly button. After the removal of excess skin and fat,
the abdominal skin is pulled downward for a flat firm abdomen. Liposuction is
often combined with this to sculpt and contour the body shape.

muscles are confined to the lower abdomen only. In this surgery, smaller
incisions are involved to remove excess fat and skin. In this, the naval
repositioning is also performed.

Often people wonder which is the suitable age for undergoing tummy tuck
surgery. The surgeon does not recommend this procedure for individuals who
are younger than 18 years of age. Tummy tuck surgery is performed under
general anesthesia and involves an incision around the belly button and another
incision runs from one side of the hip to another hip on the underside of the
lower abdomen. The muscles of the abdomen are tightened and excess skin and
fat are removed.

Tummy tuck surgery takes about 3 to 5 hours, depending upon the amount of
fat and skin to be removed and the amount of muscle repair required.
Postoperative it is very essential to wear a compression garment for the first few
weeks after the procedure to provide support to the treated area and minimize
swelling. Working professionals with physical activity may require off for about
four to five weeks before resuming work. In the case of office work, an
individual can return to work after one to two weeks, but one should take
proper consultation from the surgeon before performing any type of activity or
work.
