Circumferential tummy tuck: This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the entire abdominal area, as well as the thighs and buttocks. This procedure is often recommended for those individuals who have fats accumulated at the front as well as the back of the midsection.
Extended tummy tuck (high lateral tension abdominoplasty): This procedure is similar to the full tummy tuck, but involves the removal of more skin from the sides than the centre to give a better waist definition. This procedure is often recommended for those who have experienced a significant weight loss, as it can help to create a more contoured look.

How is a Tummy Tuck performed at Dr. Anjali's Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic?

Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia. At Dr. Anjali's Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic it is usually accompanied by 360 degrees liposuction. After liposuction is done, the surgeon will make an incision in your lower abdomen, from hip bone to hip bone in such a way that it is hidden beneath the undergarments. The surgeon will then separate your skin from the underlying abdominal muscles and stitch the muscles back together. If there is any hernia it is managed at this step by strong muscle repair. This will tighten your stomach muscles and give you a flatter tummy. Next, the surgeon will pull down the skin over your abdomen and remove any excess skin.The next step is to create a new youthful looking navel. Once everything is trimmed away, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches. You will then be wrapped in a compression garment to help support your stomach as you heal.

Recovery after Tummy Tuck

Blood or extra liquid may be removed through a tube inserted beneath the skin. The surgeon will provide additional information to the patient regarding the care of the tubes until they are removed.

Following discharge, the patient is advised to take complete rest for at least two weeks although walking around is encouraged.

To maintain the contour of the abdomen, protective clothing must be worn compulsorily.

Medications will be given to relieve the discomfort or soreness. Anti-coagulants may also be used to prevent blood clots from forming. These medicines must be taken as directed.

After two to three weeks, the patient may resume light work.

In order to assess the healing process, regular check-ups with Dr. Anjali are required.
