Abdominoplasty Or Tummy Tuck
Nowadays, everyone wishes they could have a flat tummy. However, if large abdominal skin flaps are preventing you from obtaining your desired flat belly and all diet and exercise efforts have failed, a successful and effective tummy tuck surgery (also known as "Abdominoplasty") can assist you in achieving your goal!
To clarify what "Abdominoplasty" is, let us go through the procedure in more detail.
What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery?
A tummy tuck is a surgical operation that removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, tightening the muscles and giving you a flat stomach. If you want to get this surgery done by the top surgeon in Kolkata at an affordable cost, then Dr. Goutam Guha is the ideal person to contact.
Who Is Eligible for A Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Tummy tuck surgery is recommended if you have one persistent baby bump or lower abdominal fat after pregnancy.
If you have drooping or loose skin in the abdomen or thin inelastic skin with numerous stretch marks, it is best to consult with Dr. Goutam Guha about tummy tuck surgery.
This tummy tuck surgical treatment can help men and women who are unable to remove fat from the side and front of the abdomen through diet and exercise.
Types Of Tummy Tuck Surgery Offered by Dr. Goutam Guha
Tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty surgery can be performed in three ways, depending on the patient's specific interests and needs, which are as follows -
Complete Abdominoplasty - This is a classic technique for strengthening abdominal muscles both above and below the belly button. Following the removal of excess skin and fat, the abdominal skin is pressed downwards to create a tight abdomen, and the belly button is repositioned and placed in a natural orientation. Liposuction is also commonly performed in combination with surgery to shape and flatten the belly.
Partial or Mini abdominoplasty - This partial or mini abdominoplasty tuck procedure eliminates extra fat and skin from the abdomen. During surgery, loose tissue is removed to enhance the cosmetic aspect of the abdomen area.
Extended Abdominoplasty - Extended abdominoplasty is a procedure used to remove skin and fat tissue from the abdomen and hip area. The surgeon will remove extra tissues and tighten the skin over the belly and hips using a single big incision. This sort of tummy tuck might leave a significant, visible scar.
Pre-Operative Precautions
Before opting for a tummy tuck, you should consult with Dr. Goutam Guha thoroughly. He will look through your medical history and ask you about recent and previous medical issues. He will also perform a physical exam to determine whether this operation is right for you and may take images of your abdomen for your medical record.
In addition, he will discuss your expectations and may ask you to clarify why you want a tummy tuck and how you hope to appear following the procedure. According to him, every patient should follow the pre-operative precautions listed below -
Before embarking on tummy tuck surgery, you should keep a steady weight.
Smoking should be avoided at least two weeks before a tummy tuck since it can inhibit recovery and increase post-surgical problems. Consumption of nutritious foods reduces the probability of complications after surgery.

Post-Operative Recovery Timeline
The duration of your recovery is dependent on the type of surgery you have. However, every patient is recommended to take rest after surgery since relaxing may speed up healing. During the healing period, patients will also need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the abdomen. Furthermore, certain medications will be prescribed to effectively minimize swelling and discomfort.
