1. Tightening Abdominal Muscles

Also called Rectus Plication, is a part of Tummy Tuck surgery. Sometimes, widening or separation of abdominal muscles occurs as they migrate on both sides due to pressure on the muscles in the center for a long time especially during pregnancy and they may not return to their original state. (Diastasis Recti)This forms a bulge appearance called the ‘Pooch’. Besides the unwanted look this can also cause back pain and difficulty to lift heavy objects, thus surgery may be required.

This is done as full Abdominoplasty surgery wherein, one cut is made from hip to hip below the bikini line and another cut is made around the belly button (Navel) and then skin and muscles are exposed and tightly brought together and stitched back to get rid of the bulge.

Not everyone with a bulge needs this. If on examination, the muscles are found to separate to the extent that they don’t seem to return to the original form, you can opt for this surgery.

Apart from a flat, attractive and tight abdomen, you will also get a tight and strong core allowing better exercise and thus a healthier life.

2. Removal of excess loose skin

Abdominoplasty surgery/Tummy Tuck also aids to get rid of bellies with loose, sagging and unwanted abdominal skin which usually occurs after multiple pregnancies, aging process or significant weight loss.

It can be removed by either Full Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty surgery, in which after the cut is made, extra fat and the excess skin is removed and the skin is held tight and sutured back. If the loose skin is seen only below the belly button then a ‘Mini Tummy Tuck’ is sufficient where only one cut below the belly button is made and the repositioning of the navel is not needed.

3. Fat extraction from targeted areas

This can be removed by the Tummy Tuck procedure if the excess fat is only at the abdominal area or by Extended Tummy Tuck if the fat deposits need to be removed from other areas too. Liposuction along with Tummy Tuck is also usually done.

Extended Tummy Tuck does not restrict to reducing skin and fat on the stomach, but also targets the flank area and between the waist and hips and lateral thighs.

Performed in the same way as Tummy Tuck, but the cuts extend to the targeted areas as well.

Liposuction is mostly accompanied by Tummy Tuck surgery in Delhi, wherein the excess fat which does not go with exercise and diet control and are concentrated in particular areas like abdomen, back, buttocks, hips, flanks, thighs etc. are sucked out through small suction tubes.

4. Treating Old Scars

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Abdominoplasty surgery can remove a significant amount of the old scars or stretch marks, especially between your bikini line and your belly button. When Abdominoplasty is done, the skin below the navel is removed but the scars outside this area of cut remain, although they move lower because the remaining skin is stretched down and hidden in the lower part of the abdomen and therefore becomes much less noticeable. Nevertheless, Tummy Tuck surgery itself can cause scarring, so always discuss with your surgeon to assess the benefits and risks associated with it.

5. Improving Posture and relieving Back Pain

As said, Abdominoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure and does not relate to health problems, but new research in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that Tummy Tuck surgery (Abdominoplasty) can also relieve chronic back pain by improving posture.

Because of abdominal muscle separation and muscle weakness from pregnancy or other reasons, the lower back becomes unstable and unsupported. So, the tightening and muscle repairing in a Tummy Tuck surgery for strengthening and stabilizing the abdominal, pelvic region and backbone area definitely helps in improving back pain. The excess skin also gets off-loaded which further relieves weight. As the core strengthens and the posture improves it relieves back pain many folds.

Always talk to your doctor to rule out other causes of back pain and determine whether an anatomic back problem exists and if Tummy Tuck is the best option for you.

6. Ventral Hernia Correction

Now-a –days Abdominoplasty surgery can be used to correct complications like Ventral or umbilical hernias. It occurs when there is a break in the abdominal wall and the intestine or abdominal tissue pushes through this break and forms a pocket or a sack. It appears as a bulge near your belly button. It usually happens by the weakening of abdominal muscles because of multiple pregnancies or sudden weight loss or maybe congenital. If left unmanaged it causes discomfort in normal activities like sneezing, urinating, coughing or lifting objects and even more serious damage or death of the tissue may occur.

After making the cuts and exposing the skin and muscles, the herniated tissue is placed behind the abdominal wall to repair the hernia along with removing excess fat, skin and muscles tightening. The skin and tissue is placed back for a smooth firm abdomen. It is a safe and a cost effective procedure particularly for obese or those with multiple and recurrent hernias. Assessment and guidance of your doctor is essential.

7. Reducing Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary Incontinence is a common bladder problem usually after child birth or aging. It occurs as an uncontrollable leakage of urine when there is an increase in abdominal pressure like coughing, sneezing, laughing or even exercising.

Tummy tuck/ Abdominoplasty surgery can also help to tighten up the soft tissues on the pelvic floor, the bladder and the urethra. As a result pressure is placed along the passage from the bladder to the urethra which helps to keep it closed and prevent leakage.

Consult your doctor before planning Tummy Tuck for stress urinary incontinence as he may recommend other conservative options first.

Like any other surgery, Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty is not free of risks and complications. Therefore it is important to have a detailed and clear discussion with your doctor about these factors along with the cost involved and whether you are the right candidate for this surgery.
