What is
a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery, is a safe and effective surgery that aims to tighten the abdominal muscles, remove the stretch marks, and contour the abdominal area to give a well-toned and shapely appearance.
A tummy can be bulging and out of shape due to various reasons. Some of them involve:
- Pregnancy: A woman’s body undergoes tremendous changes during pregnancy. The abdominal area is affected drastically as the muscles stretch in order to accommodate the growing baby. After delivery and especially after C-section, the loosened muscles and skin stay drooping. It becomes difficult to achieve pre-pregnancy tautness or even maintain the figure in such situations. That’s why many women opt for a tummy tuck after c section or pregnancy.
- Aging: Loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin is one of the most prominent characteristics that accompany age, and the midsection is not an exception to this. Aging generally results in a flabby and rotund abdomen which affects the once youthful appearance of an individual. In such cases, the tummy tuck procedure helps in restoring or achieving a flat and firm stomach.
- Excessive weight loss: A significant change in a person’s weight also results in drooping and hanging skin around the abdomen. Even when one performs vigorous exercises, this skin and extra fat refuse to budge. This hampers the actual results of the weight loss as the hanging loose skin does not look appealing and attractive. This might affect the self-confidence of the person. Tummy tuck surgery removes the excess fat, loose, sagging skin, and provides a well-toned appearance.
An unshapely abdomen due to these and various other reasons can be corrected through a tummy tuck surgery. Dr. Santosh Bhatia first analyzes the issue at hand and then decides upon the type of surgery that one needs to undergo. He believes that each case is different, which is why the tummy tuck surgery needs to be tailored according to every individual’s need.
Top 5 Myths About Tummy Tuck
What are the
different types of tummy tuck procedure?
There are different ways in which a tummy tuck procedure or tummy tuck treatment is performed at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai. Some of them are:
-
Full Tummy Tuck Surgery
- This type of tummy tuck is most commonly performed. In this tummy tuck procedure, the incisions are made from hip bone to hip bone.
- In the case of removal of fat from the upper abdomen, additional incisions are made near the belly button.
- The weak or loose abdominal muscles are then tightened and extra skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen.
- The remaining skin from the upper abdomen is then pulled down and redraped over the belly.
- The belly button is also removed and replaced where it looks naturally appealing with the new abdominal contour.
-
Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery
- A mini tummy tuck surgery is often performed on patients who do not want drastic changes to their abdomen.
- In this tummy tuck procedure, the incisions are placed near the belly button and are smaller as compared to a full tummy tuck.
- It also does not involve the replacement of the belly button. It is also often called partial abdominoplasty.
-
Extended Tummy Tuck Surgery
- The incision involved in this tummy tuck procedure is often longer as it incorporates the sides of the waistline as well.
- Generally, an extended tummy tuck surgery is beneficial for people who have had significant weight loss.
Often, liposuction is performed along with tummy tuck surgery in order to have better results. The type of tummy tuck treatment is decided by Dr. Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Cosmetic Surgeon at Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai, during the consultation.

What
alternative methods do people try to get rid of stomach fat?
There are many different ways that people can use to try and get rid of unwanted stomach fat:
- Tummy exercise can get rid of extra fat, and strengthen muscles but it cannot give your tummy a firm, contoured appearance and it cannot get rid of loose, sagging skin that one may experience after weight loss.
- A tummy tuck belt is a thick belt or a material that one is supposed to wear around the stomach. However, the tummy tuck belt does not provide long-lasting results, and its effectiveness in removing tummy fat, and improving the appearance of the tummy is yet to be proven.
- Tummy tucker shapewear is another so-called "quick solution" for tummy fat issues. But everyone knows that tummy tucker shapewear does not help with fat loss, and does not give long-lasting results. It only hides the fat and provides the illusion of a flat and fit tummy. When one cannot or does not want to wear tummy tucker shapewear, a rotund abdomen is obvious and visible.
Such temporary fixes not only affect the overall appearance of one’s body but in the long run, also may affect the self-esteem and confidence of the person. So, what exactly can be done in addition to tummy exercise to achieve a flat, firm, and well-toned stomach?
The most effective way to get rid of tummy fat is to get a tummy tuck! Read on to see if you’re a good candidate for a tummy tuck.
Who is
an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck treatment?
The criteria for an ideal candidate for tummy tuck procedure or tummy tuck treatment has been provided by Dr. Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai:
- You are above 18 years of age
- You are a non-smoker or ready to quit smoking for the period prescribed by Dr. Santosh Bhatia
- You are physically healthy
- You are unhappy with the appearance of the abdomen
It is important to note that tummy tuck surgery is not a substitute for weight loss. It is necessary to reach close enough to your ideal body weight at least 8 to 10 months before the tummy tuck procedure. Weight Loss after the tummy tuck treatment or tummy tuck surgery generally hampers the results of the process.
Women who plan pregnancy must plan tummy tuck treatment after that. Pregnancy after a tummy tuck surgery will nullify the results.
If you fit into the above list, you are an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck procedure.
