Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty Surgery

When a person loses a lot of weight after bariatric surgery or dieting (extreme weight loss) or after pregnancy, excess skin and fat develops in the abdomen. Abdominoplasty is a surgery to get rid of this excess skin and fat to get contoured abdomen and trimmed waistline.

This may also involves tightening of abdominal muscles. This is often, but not always, a cosmetic procedure. Dr Rajendra S Gujjalanavar has expertise in performing abdominoplasty surgery with the combined technique of liposuction that gives natural looking results with a high-definition sculpted abdomen profile. He performs tummy tuck surgery in Bangalore at De Aesthetikos for both men and women and is known for his versatility in giving the hourglass shape in females and the V-shaped torso for men. 

Who are the candidates?

  • If the abdominal shape is affected by pregnancy or massive weight loss
  • If protruding abdomen is unattractive (even if it is mild)
  • If pannus of tissue at lower part of abdomen is hanging below the belly.

What happens during the procedure?

Patient will be given a medicine to fall asleep (general anesthetic) and patient may also be given a medicine to relax (sedative).
An incision will be made along the lower part of your abdomen. This is the most common area for the first incision. The length of the incision depends on what proportion skin and fat are going to be removed
Another incision may also be made around your belly button. This is done if your procedure will extend above your belly button.
A flap of your belly skin are going to be lifted from the muscles of your abdomen. Skin and fat will be removed.
The muscles of your abdomen could also be tightened with stitches (sutures).
The skin flap will be pulled down. Excess skin at the lower part of the flap will be removed. A new opening for your belly button could also be made within the flap.
The flap will be placed back in position. The incision will be closed with layers of sutures, skin glue, or adhesive tape

A tube could also be inserted through the flap to empty excess fluid from your surgical area.

What are the types of Abdominoplasty?

Classical abdominoplasty in Bangalore is done where the cut is made from one hip to the other within the area where the undergarments cover it and an elliptical piece of skin is removed. When this is combined with liposuction, it is called Lipo-abdominoplasty. When only a minor correction is required, a miniabdominoplasty is done with a small scar over the pubic region.

What are the risks?

Generally, this is a safe procedure.

However, problems may occur and are temporary:

  • Infection

  • Fluid buildup under the belly skin (seroma)
  • Skin loss or scarring
  • Changes in skin color
