Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Siliguri
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This transformative procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose, sagging abdominal skin following significant weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing. Dr. Amit delivers flat, toned abdominal contours with well-hidden scars.
Types of Tummy Tuck
Full Tummy Tuck: Addresses the entire abdomen with a hip-to-hip incision, muscle repair, and navel repositioning. Best for significant excess skin. Mini Tummy Tuck: Targets only the lower abdomen below the navel. Shorter incision, quicker recovery. Extended Tummy Tuck: Includes the flanks and sides for a more comprehensive contour. Fleur-de-lis: Adds a vertical incision for patients with massive weight loss.
What to Expect
The surgery takes 2-4 hours under general anaesthesia. Drains are typically placed for 1-2 weeks. Recovery involves 2-3 weeks off work and 6-8 weeks before resuming strenuous exercise. The scar fades significantly over 12-18 months and is hidden within the bikini line.
