  • Mini or Partial Abdominoplasty: This process is done for shorter incisions and is performed on people having less sagging skin. The skin is separated between the belly button and the line of the incision. The process usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  • Circumferential Abdominoplasty: This surgery is performed in the back area. The procedure enables removal of fat and skin from the back and hip area that enhances the shape of your body.

What are the benefits of a tummy tuck?

  • The first benefit of tummy tuck is that it gives you a narrower waistline and flatter abdomen.
  • Weight loss can leave your body with loose skin and a tummy tuck can remove it.
  • It can also eliminate stretch marks that you can get after pregnancy or weight gain.
  • The procedure can minimize the risk of some medical conditions.
  • It can relieve urinary incontinence.

What are the risks?

  • Poor wound healing: At times, areas along the incision line might heal poorly or start separating. To prevent infection, you can be given antibiotics.
  • Fluid accumulation beneath the skin: A drainage tube placed after the surgery helps in reducing the risk of excess fluid. A doctor at the best cosmetic hospital in Chennai can also remove fluid after the surgery with the help of a syringe and needle.
