Abdominoplasty—popularly known as a tummy tuck—is the gold-standard surgical solution for removing excess abdominal skin and stubborn fat while tightening weakened core muscles. At Dr Arun Panda’s state-of-the-art cosmetic centre in Navi Mumbai, patients receive world-class care, transparent pricing, and results that restore both confidence and comfort. Below you will find a complete, 1-page guide (≈ 1,200 words) to everything you need to know before booking your procedure.

Benefits of an Abdominoplasty

    1. Comprehensive Contouring

    Unlike diet, exercise, or non-invasive devices, a tummy tuck eliminates loose skin and repairs separated rectus muscles (diastasis recti) in one session—creating a flatter, stronger core.

    1. Long-Lasting Results

    Provided you maintain a stable weight, abdominoplasty outcomes can last a lifetime. Most patients report renewed motivation to stay fit after seeing their transformed silhouette.

    1. Functional Improvements

    Tightening the muscle sheath often reduces lower-back strain and improves posture, making daily activities more comfortable.

    1. Boosted Self-Confidence

    Whether you want to wear fitted clothing again or simply feel like yourself after pregnancy or weight loss, the psychological lift can be as significant as the physical change.

    What Happens on Surgery Day?

    1. Pre-Op Marking & Anesthesia – General anesthesia administered by a senior anesthetist.
    2. Incision & Muscle Repair – Separated muscles are sutured mid-line to re-create a firm internal girdle.
    3. Skin Redraping & Lipocontouring – Gentle liposuction sculpts the waist; excess skin is trimmed and navel repositioned.
    4. Closure & Dressings – Progressive-tension sutures minimize drains; medical-grade adhesives enhance scar quality.

    Recovery Timeline

    • Day 1–5: Light ambulation encouraged; drains (if any) removed within 48 hrs.
    • Week 1–2: Return to desk work; compression garment worn 24/7.

    • Week 8–12: Heavy lifting permitted; final silhouette emerging.

FAQs

Q1: Is abdominoplasty safe?
Yes, when performed by a board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. Complication rates are below 5 %, and most issues are minor (seroma, delayed wound healing).

Q2: Will the results last if I get pregnant later?
Future pregnancy can re-stretch skin and muscle. We advise completing family planning first; however, revision surgery is possible.

Q3: Is the surgery painful?
Most patients describe moderate soreness, well-controlled with oral painkillers and a pain-pump for the first 24 hrs.

Q4: How visible is the scar?
Dr Panda places incisions low enough to hide in swimwear. Over 6–12 months, the scar typically fades to a thin, pale line.

Q5: Can I combine a tummy tuck with breast surgery or liposuction?
Absolutely. Combination “mommy-makeover” packages reduce overall downtime and cost by up to 25 %.
