Procedure

How tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) works.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.

1

Incision Placement

A horizontal incision is made between the pubic hairline and navel, with length determined by the amount of excess skin. The incision is carefully planned to be concealed beneath underwear and swimwear.

2

Muscle Repair

Separated or weakened abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis) are sutured together to restore core strength and create a firmer abdominal wall, addressing muscle laxity from pregnancy or weight fluctuations.

3

Excess Tissue Removal

Excess skin and fat are carefully excised from the lower and middle abdomen. Stubborn fat deposits may be addressed with liposuction for improved contouring and definition.

4

Navel Repositioning

The belly button is repositioned through a new opening to maintain natural appearance. The surrounding skin is redraped smoothly over the newly contoured abdomen.

5

Closure and Draping

Incisions are meticulously closed in layers with absorbable sutures. Surgical drains may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid accumulation, and dressings are applied to support healing.

Recovery

Recovery & aftercare.

What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.

Immediate Post-Op (Weeks 1-2)Early Recovery (Weeks 3-6)Advanced Recovery (Months 2-12)

Immediate Post-Op (Weeks 1-2)

Rest is essential with limited mobility. Expect moderate discomfort managed with prescribed pain medication. Wear compression garment continuously, avoid bending or lifting, and walk slightly bent to reduce tension on incisions. Drains require emptying and monitoring.

Early Recovery (Weeks 3-6)

Gradually increase activity levels with light walking and daily tasks. Most patients return to desk work after 2-3 weeks. Continue wearing compression garment as directed. Swelling begins to decrease, and incision sites continue healing with proper scar care.

Advanced Recovery (Months 2-12)

Resume normal exercise and activities as cleared by Dr P. Prakash. Swelling continues diminishing over several months. Scars fade and flatten progressively. Final contour and results become fully apparent as tissues settle and mature completely.

Myths vs Facts

Common misconceptions.

Let's clear up some of the most common myths about tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

What happens if tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is delayed?

  • Excess abdominal skin and separated muscles will not resolve on their own through diet or exercise. Without treatment, individuals may continue experiencing physical discomfort, poor posture, back pain from weakened core muscles, and psychological distress related to body image. Persistent skin folds can also lead to hygiene challenges and skin irritation.
