There are several different types of tummy tuck surgery, and the type that is right for you will depend on your individual goals and needs.
Full tummy tuck: The most common type of tummy tuck is the full tummy tuck. This procedure comprises of the removal of excess skin and fat from the entire abdominal area, as well as the tightening of the abdominal muscles. This procedure is often recommended for those who have experienced a significant amount of weight loss, as it can help to create a more toned and contoured appearance.
Mini tummy tuck: The mini tummy tuck only involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the lower abdominal area. This procedure is often advised for those who only have a small amount of excess skin and fat, and who do not need the tightening of the abdominal muscles.
Circumferential tummy tuck: This procedure involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the entire abdominal area, as well as the thighs and buttocks. This procedure is often recommended for those individuals who have fat accumulated at the front as well as the back of the midsection.
Extended tummy tuck: This procedure is similar to the full tummy tuck, but involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the entire abdominal area, as well as the sides of the waist. This procedure is often recommended for those who have experienced significant weight loss, as it can help to create a more contoured look.

It’s important to remember that tummy tuck surgery is not a substitute for weight reduction. It is essential to get close enough to your ideal body weight at least 8 to 10 months before the operation. The outcomes of the procedure are generally hampered by weight loss after the surgery.

Usually, a tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia (along with intravenous sedation), which means you’ll be asleep during the procedure. Once you’re asleep, the surgeon will make an incision in your lower abdomen, from hipbone to hipbone. The surgeon will then separate your skin from the underlying abdominal muscles and stitch the muscles back together. This will tighten your stomach muscles and give you a flatter tummy.
Next, the surgeon will pull down the skin over your abdomen and remove any excess skin. The surgeon may also use liposuction to remove any stubborn pockets of fat. Once everything is trimmed away, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches. You’ll then be wrapped in a compression garment to help support your stomach as you heal.
Tummy tuck surgery is not covered by insurance because it is considered a cosmetic operation. The cost of tummy tuck surgery will be determined by the following factors:
A tummy tuck/ abdominoplasty is an excellent cosmetic procedure that eliminates belly fat and tightens the muscles of the stomach wall. The procedure can be performed on both men and women and is often used to improve the appearance of the tummy after weight loss or pregnancy. In addition, a tummy tuck can also help remove stretch marks.
There is usually mild discomfort or pain for a week or two. Medicines can be used to alleviate the pain.
There may be little or no inflammation in the surgical region.
The patient should be cautious while moving for the first six weeks after surgery. Activities like lifting substantial weight and bending quickly at the waist should be avoided.
Healing time differs from person to person, and also depends on the surgical method used. After surgery, it might take between two to three weeks for a patient to resume work and carry on with their typical daily routine.
Regular checkups with Dr. Vashisht Dikshit will be scheduled to monitor the healing progress.
Like any other surgical operation, a tummy tuck poses various risks or complications, including:
In cases where the first surgery does not result in satisfactory results, a second surgery may be required. However, these occurrences are very uncommon.
