Abdominoplasty Surgery in Gurgaon

Abdominoplasty surgery or tummy tuck is a cosmetic plastic surgery designed for the removal of extra skin and fat from the tummy area and strengthening of the weakened/ separated abdominal muscles to make the tummy flatter and firmer. This popular body contouring procedure is popular among both men and women and helps them feel more confident with a firmer and youthful silhouette.

An abdominoplasty surgery appointment typically includes the following:
1. Providing anesthesia- The surgeon injects local anesthesia into the abdominal area to ensure a comfortable surgery experience.
2. Making of incision- Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, abdominoplasty surgeon in Gurgaon at SB Aesthetics, marks the areas where incisions will be made, based on the surgical technique used. In the case of complete abdominoplasty, the incision is made on the abdomen from one hip bone to another whereas for partial abdominoplasty, the incision is made below the belly button.
3. The surgery- There are two surgical approaches and the surgeon chooses any one of them.

• Complete abdominoplasty- The surgeon contours the skin, tissue, and muscle of the abdomen by excising extra, loose skin and tissue and tightening the abdominal muscle using sutures. Thereafter, the belly button is shifted. It is recommended for correcting bulky, pendulous abdomen. Overall surgery takes 1-5 hours.
• Mini or partial abdominoplasty- The surgeon excises the saggy, extra abdominal skin and performs liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits below the belly button. Overall surgery takes 1-2 hours. 

4. Closing of incision- When the surgery is complete, a suturing stitch is placed at the incision site to close it and then a sterile dressing is applied. A small drainage tube may be placed at the incision site to avoid pooling excess fluid or blood from the body.

Just like any other surgery, abdominoplasty surgery also comes with certain unwanted effects, usually mild and short-lived. The potential common side effects include swelling, mild to moderate pain, redness/bruising, numbness, and drainage from incisions.
 
Other potential risks include:

• Dead or damaged fatty tissue of the abdomen
• Fluid-accumulation (seroma)
• Delayed wound healing
• Changes in skin sensation
• Anaesthesia-related risks
• Blood clots
• Infection
• Scarring.

Dr. Shilpi Bhadani informs about these side effects and risks during the consultation. Generally, abdominoplasty is a safe surgery when done by a licensed, expert plastic surgeon on a suitable candidate who follows a proper aftercare routine.

• On the day of the appointment, come after taking a bath with no jewelry or cosmetics
• Avoid intake of blood thinners or anything that increases the risk of bleeding
• Arrange for someone to drive back home after surgery and take care
• Keep blood pressure and diabetes under control
• Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious meals
