What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess abdominal skin and fat while repairing separated muscles, creating a firmer, flatter midsection — especially popular among patients after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Step by Step

The Process

1

Detailed consultation including standing and lying examination to assess skin laxity, muscle separation, and fat distribution.

2

Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, lasting 2-4 hours. A horizontal incision is made low on the abdomen, typically hidden within underwear or bikini lines.

3

The surgeon tightens the rectus abdominis muscles with internal sutures, removes excess skin and fat, and repositions the navel.

4

One or two surgical drains are placed to prevent fluid buildup, and an abdominal binder is fitted for support.

5

Follow-up at 1-2 days for drain management, 1-2 weeks for drain removal, and regular intervals over 3-6 months.

Recovery

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline

1-2 weeks before light walking; 3-4 weeks before returning to desk work; 6-8 weeks before resuming exercise.

Results Timeline

Immediate improvement in abdominal contour visible even through post-surgical swelling. Significant results at 4-6 weeks. Final results at 3-6 months as internal swelling fully resolves.

Aftercare Tips

  • 1.Wear the abdominal binder or compression garment continuously for 6-8 weeks.
  • 2.Walk gently in a slightly bent posture for the first 1-2 weeks to avoid tension on the incision; gradually straighten over time.
  • 3.Avoid heavy lifting, ab exercises, and strenuous activity for at least 6-8 weeks.
  • 4.Keep drains clean and record output volumes as instructed until they are removed.
  • 5.Apply silicone scar sheets or gel to the incision once fully healed to minimize scarring.
