Why MS + DNB Plastic Surgery matters

DNB Plastic Surgery is recognised as equivalent to the MCh Plastic Surgery degree - a 3-year super-specialty surgical training programme. Army Hospital R&R, where Dr. Arjun trained, is one of India's most respected plastic surgery training centres with high volume in reconstructive and aesthetic body cases. For a body and breast surgeon, MS General Surgery (covering abdominal anatomy, breast surgical principles, complex decision-making) followed by DNB Plastic Surgery (aesthetic technique, tissue handling, outcome refinement) is the credential pathway that distinguishes a trained plastic surgeon from a practitioner who has attended short courses. In a field where outcomes depend on volume and judgement as much as technique, 14+ years of dedicated body surgery practice is what matters most.

The decision to get a tummy tuck is major, and it is crucial to schedule a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon to make sure it is right for you. Your surgeon will perform a complete evaluation of your physical condition based on your health status.

You need to discuss your expectations with the doctor and arrive at a realistic picture that you can expect following the surgery. Following the before and aftercare instructions for the procedure is very important to achieve the desired results. Tummy tuck surgery in Gurgaon is available at Handa Plastic Surgery.

Why tummy tuck surgery?

Abdominoplasty, also known as a “tummy tuck,” is a cosmetic surgery that thins and firms the abdomen. Excess skin and fat are removed from the middle and lower abdomen to tighten the abdominal wall’s muscle and fascia. It is a major surgical procedure.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin while restoring weakened or separated muscles in most cases, resulting in a smoother and firmer abdominal profile. Tummy tuck surgery in Gurgaon is available with Dr Handa.

Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery

With Handa Aesthetics' expertise in tummy tuck surgery in Gurgaon, patients can expect personalized treatment plans, state-of-the-art facilities, and a compassionate team dedicated to achieving natural-looking, transformative results. They offer the following types of tummy tuck surgery in Gurgaon:

Traditional tummy tuck: This treatment uses a horizontal incision from hip to hip to allow for extensive abdominal skin and muscle tightening.

Mini Tummy Tuck: This procedure employs a smaller incision and concentrates on the lower abdomen. It is appropriate for individuals with minimal extra skin and muscle laxity below the navel.

Extended Tummy Tuck: Designed for patients with excess skin and fat extending to the flanks or lower back, it involves an extended incision for comprehensive abdominal contouring.

Benefits of tummy tuck surgery

  1. Improved Appearance

Abdominoplasty surgery dramatically changes the appearance of your abdomen by sculpting the body.

  1. Better Posture

Tightening your core abdominal muscles relieves strain on the rest of your body and improves your posture.

  1. Relieve Back Pain

Having good posture and relief from back pain are significant advantages.

  1. Repair of a hernia

You can reduce the recurrence of a hernia by tightening the abdominal muscles and strengthening the abdominal wall.

  1. Less difficult to exercise

With a tighter tummy and lower weight, keeping the weight off will be much easier.

  1. Scar Removal from Caesarean Section

Old C-section scars will be removed or incorporated into the new scars.

Procedure of Tummy Tuck

  • A tummy tuck procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and you can feel comfortable.
  • Sometimes, general anaesthesia is given when you are completely asleep and wake up later.
  • The anesthetist and the surgeon decide the type of anaesthesia depending upon your health status.
  • The duration of the procedure will vary depending upon the extent of the skin and fat tissue removal that happens during the procedure.
  • After following all aseptic precautions, an incision is made just above the pubis around the bikini line.
  • Another incision is made around the navel to separate it from the surrounding tissues.
  • The skin is lifted over like a flap to expose the abdominal muscles and the underlying skin.
  • Now, the surgeon will locate the abdominal muscles that have lost their firm tone, pull them closer and tighter together, and suture them all along.
  • This gives the area a firmer tone, enhances the abdomen’s contour, and gives a firmer waist.
  • The retracted skin is brought back over the abdominal wall, and a new navel is created. This technique is known as navel repositioning.
  • A new navel is aesthetically sculpted and placed in the right position to give an enhanced appearance to the abdominal area.
  • Following this, the surplus fat and skin that are present are removed.
  • The skin area is sutured and is covered appropriately with a bandage.
  • Through small incisions, drainage tubes are placed to promote the drainage of accumulated fluid.
  • Following the surgery, you will be advised to wear a compression garment over the abdomen to decrease swelling and enhance healing.
  • The sutures will be removed a week after the surgery, and the drainage tubes may no longer be required.
  • A tummy tuck surgery is often performed along with liposuction to provide a better contour to the abdomen.

Who Needs tummy tuck?

  • A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical operation that removes extra skin and fat from the abdomen.
  • Sutures are commonly used to tighten connective tissue in the abdomen. The leftover skin is relocated to get a more toned appearance.
  • You may benefit from a stomach tuck if you have excess fat or skin around your belly button or a weak lower abdominal wall.
  • A tummy tuck can also improve your self-esteem. Tummy tuck surgery in Gurgaon is available with us.

Aftercare & Recovery

  • If you have had a tummy tuck, you will need a lot of rest.
  • You must adhere to all recovery guidelines, such as keeping the incision site clean and dry, changing the bandage daily, taking any prescription medications, and applying drugs to the incision site.
  • You will most likely have a supportive wrap, binder, or compression garment for your abdomen to avoid swelling and pain.
  • Tobacco and alcohol can hinder recovery, therefore you must stop smoking and refrain from drinking for at least three months after getting a tummy tuck.

BODY CONTOURING / 01
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Excess skin removal + abdominal muscle repair - the durable answer.

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the operation for post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss abdomens where the skin has stretched beyond its retraction capacity AND the rectus abdominis muscles have separated (diastasis recti). It comprises two procedures in one operation: surgical removal of the excess lower abdominal skin and fat, AND rectus plication - suturing the separated muscle bellies back together along the midline. The muscle repair is what restores the abdominal wall and core function - liposuction alone cannot address it. The scar sits low on the abdomen, designed to be hidden by underwear or swimwear.

Skin AND muscle - lipo alone cannot address muscle separation

Best ForComprehensive post-pregnancy restoration
TechniqueSingle-anaesthesia combined operation. Longer theatre time. Extended recovery.
NoteCombined operation has longer recovery. Discussed in detail at consultation.
Technology & Approach

Muscle repair is what makes the result durable.

Without rectus plication, the abdomen looks better but the core function is not restored. We do not skip this step.

Abdominoplasty Technology · Signature
Rectus Plication + Skin Excision
Two-component correction in one operation

Rectus plication suturing the separated rectus abdominis muscle bellies back together along the midline - using long-acting absorbable sutures in a continuous running technique. This corrects the diastasis recti (muscle separation common after pregnancy) and restores the abdominal wall structure. The skin and fat excess is then excised and the umbilicus repositioned. Combined VASER liposuction available for adjacent areas (flanks, upper abdomen) in the same operation if appropriate.

Skin and fat excision via low Pfannenstiel-style incision
Rectus plication for muscle separation correction
Drains 5-7 days · compression garment 6 weeks
VASER liposuction combination available for adjacent areas
Overnight hospital stay · standardised pain protocol
Skin vs Muscle
Why both must be addressed
Skin excess alone produces overhang. Muscle separation alone produces a "pooch" that cannot be exercised flat. Most post-pregnancy abdomens have both. Liposuction addresses neither - tummy tuck addresses both.
Scar Position
Designed to hide
The Pfannenstiel-style scar sits low along the bikini line. Designed to be hidden by underwear or swimwear. The scar is real, but its position makes it functionally invisible in clothing.
Drains and Compression
Why both matter
Drains evacuate fluid that would otherwise accumulate. Compression garment maintains tissue position during healing. Both are non-negotiable for the result - protocol followed precisely.
Muscle Repair Recovery
6-8 weeks restricted core activity
Heavy core exercise too early stresses the muscle repair. 6-8 weeks restricted activity protects the suture line. Premature exercise can cause repair failure.
From First Consultation to Final Result

Your tummy tuck surgery journey, in five stages.

Structured care from first conversation to long-term review. No pressure to decide same-day.

01
The Consultation
45-minute consultation. Examination for skin and muscle component. Standardised photographs. Realistic outcome agreed.
02
Pre-Op Planning
Technique chosen. Investigations (blood work, ECG). Garment fitting. Honest quotation.
03
Surgery Day
Theatre 2-3 hours. Drains placed. Overnight stay. Pain managed by hospital protocol.
04
First Two Weeks
Drains removed Day 5-7. Office work Week 2. Walking encouraged. No heavy lifting.
05
Final Result
Initial result Week 4. Final result Month 6 with scar maturation.
Candidacy & Who This Is For

Who tummy tuck surgery is right for - and who it isn't.

Honest assessment at consultation. The most important conversation is the realistic outcome.

Likely a good candidate
Characteristics associated with good surgical outcomes
You have completed your family (or are not planning more pregnancy)
You have post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss skin and muscle issues
Your weight is stable for 6+ months
You are in good general health, non-smoker
You can take 2 weeks off work and 6 weeks off heavy exercise
You can wear compression garment for 6 weeks
You have realistic expectations about scar (low transverse, hidden by underwear)
If most of these apply, the consultation will likely be productive.
Likely not ready - or not right
Characteristics that may prompt "not yet" or an alternative recommendation
You are planning future pregnancy - defer until family complete
You are still actively losing weight - stabilise first
You smoke and are not willing to stop 6 weeks pre-op
You expect a scar-free result - the scar is real, designed to be hidden
You have uncontrolled medical conditions (diabetes, heart, clotting)
You cannot accommodate the recovery period or compression
You expect liposuction alone to achieve this - it cannot
If any applies, the consultation is still worthwhile - an honest "not yet" with a clear pathway forward.

A note on muscle activity and post-op

Heavy core exercise is restricted for 6-8 weeks. This protects the muscle repair while it heals. Premature exercise compromises the muscle correction.
