1. Classical Tummy tuck: Removes saggy tummy, tightens muscles, with liposuction for removing fat. Cut extends from the hip bone to the other side of the lower tummy.
2. Mini Tummy tuck: For very less saggy skin. Small cut hidden in bikini line.
3. Extended Tummy tuck: Crosses the normal limits of classical to take care of loose skin, especially around love handles or the back.
4. Reverse Tummy tuck: For people who have loose upper tummy skin that impinges and deshapes the belly button. Cut is hidden beneath the breasts.

For the first 24 hours IV fluids and antibiotics will be given. Next day after visit by Dr. Chugh you will be discharged on five days course of antibiotics and other medications which are to be taken orally. A compression garment will be worn after removal of first dressing the day after surgery. In some cases, drains might be placed which are removed in a day or two.
A compression garment is an elastic garment that is to be worn after surgery for 6 weeks day and night. It helps in reducing swelling, bruising and helps in contouring.
Pain threshold is variable but analgesics will be prescribed which will take care of the pain. Also it is important to mobilise after surgery and it is normal to walk with a hunch back for few days.
Generally by the end of first week it starts subsiding considerably.
It is recommended that you take atleast two weeks off from work to ensure good recovery. It is advisable that you don’t engage in sports and exercise for four to six weeks and heavy lifting, situps for 10 weeks. At all time you should wear compression garment. You should not drive for two weeks after surgery.
Abdominoplasty/ Tummy tuck has a high success rate, but can have minor common problems during the healing process. These include numbness, bleeding, seroma, scarring, palpable sutures, infection, skin necrosis, dehiscence of wound.
Scar is an inevitable part of tummy tuck which involves tightening of skin and abdominal muscles of abdomen and reduction of fat. Scar runs from hip bone to hip bone, but it’s very low on your belly just above the pubic region and easily concealed by underwear.
Immediately after the surgery, results can be appreciated but swelling subsides by 3-4 months and final results will be visible by 6 months.
Abdominoplasty should only be done when your weight is stable. To maintain long term results it is important that you follow a good diet and exercise regime.
It is best to complete family before planning surgery as pregnancy will stretch your abdomen again.
Dr. Anmol Chugh, Consultant, Plastics & Aesthetics Centre, CK Birla Hospital and Director, Imperio Clinics, Gurgaon, says, “As a plastic surgeon, I understand the desire for a flat and toned stomach that leads many patients to consider a tummy tuck procedure. However, questions often arise about non-surgical alternatives. So, what are these alternatives, and do they work?”
Dr Anmol Chugh shares the tummy tuck procedure typically involves an incision made from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. The surgeon then removes excess fat and skin and tightens the abdominal muscles. In some cases, liposuction may be combined with abdominoplasty to enhance the contouring effect. The procedure can take anywhere from two to five hours, depending on the extent of work required.
Tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, have evolved significantly, offering various techniques to suit individual needs and achieve a toned abdomen. 1. Extended Tummy Tuck: This procedure extends the incision towards the hips, removing more excess skin and fat, ideal for those with significant weight loss or loose skin around the sides and lower back. 2.
