• Standard/Traditional Tummy Tuck/Lipoabdominoplasty/Brazilian tummy tuck
• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Extended Tummy Tuck
• Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Belt Plasty, Lower Body Lift
• Torsoplasty – 360 Degree Tummy Tuck

Type-1: Standard Tummy Tuck/Full Tummy Tuck/Traditional Tummy Tuck/Lipoabdominoplasty/Brazilian Tummy Tuck

An abdominoplasty has two components: one is the skin and fat that occurs beneath the skin and above the muscles of the abdominal wall. This fat is known as “pinchable fat,” as opposed to the fat that occurs beneath the abdominal muscles. That fat, also referred to as visceral fat, lies within the abdomen and is therefore not “pinchable.” Pinchable fat is removed with liposuction.

When a patient has abdominal muscle weakness or abdominal wall laxity, they may be a candidate for abdominal muscle tightening during the abdominoplasty procedure.

As part of normal anatomy, there is a fine line (linea alba) between the two vertical rectus muscles in the front of the abdomen. These are the muscles that create a six-pack when well developed. As one of the natural changes that occur during pregnancy or major weight gain, the abdominal wall stretches. In some women, the linea alba between the two muscles stretches and does not return to normal. This is called a diastasis recti.

To repair diastasis recti during an abdominoplasty, the muscle edges are sutured together, thereby tucking in the loose abdominal wall. Sutures can also be placed on other portions of the abdominal wall to create further tightening and shaping of the muscle.

While tightening the abdominal muscles during an abdominoplasty, it can provide substantial improvement for some of our patients, this can lead to some abdominal soreness during recovery

Lipoabdominoplasty Limitations

Lipoabdominoplasty removes pinchable fat, but not the visceral fat which is deep to abdominal muscle. So pot belly cannot be improved. Visceral fat reduces only with a healthy lifestyle.

Type-2: Mini Tummy Tuck

The skin of the abdomen can be divided into two parts. Above umbilicus and below the umbilicus. When only skin below the umbilicus is extra, there would be no need for a scar around the umbilicus. The lower abdominal skin can be removed through the shorter scar. There may or may not be needed for muscle tightening, depending on muscle tone. A young, post-pregnancy woman is a typical case for a mini tummy tuck. While doing mini abdominoplasty, there is a need to placate muscle up to chest bone. That can be done with the help of an endoscope, which is called endoscopic or endoscopic assisted abdominoplasty surgery.

When there is high umbilicus, very little skin is extra above the umbilicus, Floating Umbilicus technique can be applied without an umbilical surrounding scar. The umbilicus is detached from the underlying muscle and fixed at the new location.

G Out Type-3: Dermolipectomy/Panniculectomy

When only the skin is loose and muscle tone is very good and rectii are attached to each other in the mid-line, there is no need to plicate muscle. Only skin excision is done, which is called dermolipectomy or the only skin abdominoplasty. As muscle is not tightened, recovery is very fast. So many men just require dermolipectomy.

Type-4: Extended Tummy Tuck

When there is extra skin on the lateral abdomen or a large amount of fat on laterally, incision of the tummy tuck for men or tummy tuck for women has to extend beyond hip to tighten the abdominal skin, which is called an extended tummy tuck. It also lifts the lateral thigh skin.

Type-5: Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Belt Plasty, Lower Body Lift

After massive weight loss or a large amounts of fat liposuction, there is evident extra skin on backside also. To remove this extra skin, an incision is made till back and meet each other in the mid line, which is called circumferential or belt lipectomy. It also tightens the lateral thigh skin and lifts the butt.

Type-6: Torsoplasty – 360 Degree Tummy Tuck

When lipoabdominoplasty is combined with back liposuction, it is called torsoplasty, which gives hourglass shape.

Type-7: Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck

When skin is too much in excess, the fleur de lis name is derived from this type of incision. After removing fat and tightening of muscle, the skin is excised in three petal shapes. One reaches up to breast bone and two going lateral around the hip bone. The skin is pulled down and centrally. The resultant incision is like an inverted “T” shape.

Assessing The Problematic Area

Your abdomen is assessed for muscle weakness and any hernia, amount of extra fat and its location. Quality and the amount of extra skin are assessed. A surrounding area like Mons pubis, hip, butt, thigh, bra roll on the back is also assessed. The surgeon makes a comprehensive tummy tuck for men or tummy tuck for women procedure plan for you and discusses in detail.

Preoperative Fitness Assessment

Once the tailor-made surgery plan is prepared, preoperative preparation starts. A general body checkup for fitness is done.

Marking

On the day of surgery, again lipoabdominoplasty plan is discussed again. Meticulous marking is done for liposuction area, skin incision, muscle tightening. The low placement of the suture line is done.

Anesthesia

Usually done under general anesthesia

Liposuction

The surgery begins with tumescent infiltration and Vaser Liposuction of somatic fat/or localized fat deposits is done in case of torsoplasty, first, back liposuction is done.

Incision

Skin is pulled up and low incision under bikini line is taken. The length depends on the amount of extra skin to be tightened. The skin flap is elevated from the underlying muscle and umbilicus is left attached to the muscle. As much as skin is excised to give good abdominal shape.

Muscle Tightening

The separated rectus muscle is placed in a mid-line from below the chest bone to the pubic bone. If needed lateral plication of the muscle is done to further tighten muscles to give the hourglass shape of the tummy.

Transposition of Umbilicus

The umbilicus is fixed to the underlying muscle at the aesthetically appropriate location. A hole is created in a skin flap at the same location. The umbilicus is fixed to the skin flap in such a manner that the suture line goes deep in an invisible position.
If the umbilicus is highly positioned and skin above the umbilicus is not much extra, floating the umbilicus technique can be used to avoid circumpolar scarring.

Mons pubis lift: Vulva and external genitalia hang due to the laxity of skin post-pregnancy and post-weight loss. Mons is pulled up and fixed at a higher level.

Drainless Abdominoplasty

Before closure, the drain is used and fixed depending on the surgical extent to drain out the fluid and broken fat. When the drain is not used, it is called drainless abdominoplasty. The tissue of the abdominal wall is sutured with quilting suture so tissue stitch to each other faster. However, drainless technique takes longer time and so anesthesia time.

Skin Closure:

Skin sutured is done in layers with buried suture. Care is taken that the suture line remains below the bikini line. One should be able to wear a swimsuit easily.

Finishing Liposuction

Minor asymmetry is corrected and sculpting of the abdomen is done. Extra fluid is aspirated.

After Surgery

Depending on the extent of surgery, you will be discharged on the same day or the next day. You will be encouraged to walk on the same day.

The results will be visible immediately. After the tummy tuck for men or tummy tuck for women procedure, you will start feeling slimmer and notice that your abdomen has become more contoured. However, you will also be experiencing some swelling post-surgery, which will resolve over time, abdomen shape improvement goes on for 6 to 8 months.

All of Dr. Doshi’s full abdominoplasty patients are required to stay overnight in Goregaon Mumbai, under the supervision of the hospital facility, both for patient safety as well as comfort. The nurse ensures that the patient is resting in the propped up position. The nurse monitors blood pressure, as well as discomfort and can medicate accordingly, as needed. The nurse also monitors drainage (drains are almost always used) and instructs the patient on dressing and drain care for the days following their abdominoplasty in Mumbai, India.

Prior to the discharge on the morning after surgery at the cosmetic surgery center, you will be examined by Dr. Milan Doshi so that wound healing will be assessed, you will be guided to take care of dressing of yourself. Or one can drop in for the dressing. Typically, between days 5 and 7 following surgery, drainage is low enough that the patient can come into the cosmetic surgery center, Mumbai and have her or his drains removed.

One start walking in the evening only. The minimum downtime after tummy stuck for men or tummy tuck for women is about 7 days. One can generally expect drains to be removed after 4 to 6 days. One may return to work that does not require physical activity after 10 days of the procedure. However, it must be emphasized that even at 10 days after an abdominoplasty, the activity must be kept at a minimum in order to ensure proper healing and to avoid complications.

A patient coming from another city or country should plan to arrive in Mumbai, India at least 1 full day (preferably 2) prior to surgery and to stay in Mumbai for a minimum of 10 days’post-operatively. One can return to work after about two weeks of the surgery.  However, try to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 1 to 2 months or seek the advice of the doctor.

Q: Will tummy tuck correct obesity?
A: The abdominoplasty removes excess fat and loose skin from the abdominal area. It gives a defined contour to your body. It is not exactly a weight loss procedure;however, it will give a defined shape to your body.

Q: Can all other areas be targeted with a tummy tuck?
A: Safety is the most important factor while doing cosmetic surgery. In healthy patients, one or two more area liposuction can be done along with abdominoplasty that can only be decided after personal examination.

Q: Can there be a combination of a tummy tuck with other surgeries?
A: Yes, you can definitely have a combination of surgeries with a tummy tuck. If you are a good candidate and have good skin elasticity, you can definitely combine breast augmentation, Vaginoplasty, liposuction with your abdominoplasty procedure.

Q: Does a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
A: During tummy tuck, extra skin from the lower abdomen with the stretch mark is excised. A remaining stretch mark which is higher than the excised skin now goes to a lower position. Cream therapy and laser treatment can improve stretch marks further.

Q: Does fat return after a tummy tuck?
A: During liposuction, most of the fat cells are removed, so fat will not come from the same area. However, better lifestyle and weight control are necessary or the maintenance of the result.

A: For the first week, it is better to avoid exercising as it would be uncomfortable for you to move around. However, light walking after a week will help in the healing process. One can resume light exercises after about 6 weeks and can continue with your regular sessions after three months.

Q: Is the result of the tummy tuck procedure permanent?
A: Yes, the result of the tummy tuck procedure is permanently provided you do not gain excess weight in the future, do not get pregnant and maintain a healthy weight. However, with age your skin will lose elasticity and so will your look.
