Tummy Tuck Surgery: Achieve a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen

Welcome to Cosnik Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Clinic, where we specialize in providing transformative body contouring procedures to help you look and feel your best. If you're struggling with excess abdominal skin, stubborn fat, or weakened abdominal muscles that have not responded to diet or exercise, a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) might be the ideal solution for you.

Our tummy tuck surgery is designed to help you achieve a firmer, flatter, and more toned abdomen, improving both your appearance and your confidence. Whether you’ve gone through pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or simply the natural aging process, our experienced and renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Nikhil Makkar, MS, MCh Plastic Surgery, is here to provide the highest level of care, ensuring safe, effective results.

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. This comprehensive procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose or sagging skin, particularly after pregnancy or significant weight loss, and are seeking a more sculpted, contoured midsection.

There are different types of tummy tucks, each tailored to your specific needs:

• Full Tummy Tuck: Ideal for those with significant skin laxity, a full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen, from the upper abdomen down to the lower belly, and includes muscle repair to restore a firm, flat look.
• Mini Tummy Tuck: For individuals with less excess skin or those primarily concerned with the lower abdomen, a mini tummy tuck removes a smaller amount of tissue and may not require muscle repair.
• Extended Tummy Tuck: Often recommended for those who have lost a significant amount of weight, an extended tummy tuck not only addresses the abdomen but also the flanks, providing a more complete contour of the midsection.

Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Nikhil Makkar will assess your individual needs and recommend the best approach for achieving the results you desire.

• Sculpt a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen: A tummy tuck can dramatically improve the contour of your midsection by removing excess skin and fat, creating a smoother, more toned appearance.
• Tighten Abdominal Muscles: Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging can weaken the muscles in your abdomen. During a tummy tuck, the muscles are tightened and repaired, helping restore a more youthful and toned look.
• Improved Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable in their clothing, at the beach, or during physical activities after their tummy tuck, leading to increased confidence and self-esteem.
• Long-Lasting Results: While the results of a tummy tuck are permanent, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure long-lasting benefits. Significant weight gain after surgery can affect the results.

A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The surgery typically takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of correction required. The process involves:

1. Liposuction: A Through liposuction of excess fat area over abdomen is done first to thin the abdomen skin.
2. Incision Placement: The incision is usually made just above the pubic area, where it can be easily hidden by clothing or swimwear. In some cases, an additional incision may be made around the navel to address the upper abdomen.
3. Excess Skin Removal: Your surgeon will carefully remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, sculpting the area to create a smoother contour.
4. Muscle Tightening: If necessary, the underlying abdominal muscles will be tightened and repaired, restoring strength and firmness to the area.
5. Navel Repositioning: If needed, the belly button will be repositioned to align with the new contours of your abdomen.
6. Closing the Incisions: The incisions will be carefully closed with sutures, and a dressing or compression garment may be applied to help reduce swelling and support the healing process.

While tummy tuck surgery is a major procedure, the recovery process can be manageable with proper care. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first few weeks, but these symptoms typically subside with time. You may need to take 1 to 2 weeks off work to rest and recover. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including:

• Pain Management: We will provide prescriptions for pain medications to ensure you remain comfortable during the early stages of recovery.
• Compression Garment: Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process.
• Activity Restrictions: Light activities can typically be resumed within a few weeks, but we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks to ensure proper healing.

The results of a tummy tuck are often dramatic, with most patients experiencing a flatter, more sculpted abdomen. After your body heals, you'll notice a significant improvement in your abdominal appearance, with a tighter, firmer, and more youthful contour. The results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Many of our patients report feeling more confident in their appearance, especially when wearing clothes or swimsuits. A tummy tuck can provide a transformative change in both how you look and how you feel about yourself.
