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.

Tummy Tuck Variants We Perform

APPROACH / 01

Mini Abdominoplasty

Lower abdomen only · Smaller scar

For localised lower abdominal skin laxity and mild diastasis. Scar is significantly shorter (12-18 cm) and confined to the bikini line.

Best ForLocalised lower laxity · Mild diastasis · BMI under 28

TechniqueLower transverse incision only. No umbilical repositioning. Plication below navel if indicated.

APPROACH / 02

Full Abdominoplasty

Standard · Full abdomen + diastasis

The standard tummy tuck - upper and lower abdomen skin removal, full-length rectus plication, umbilical repositioning. Suitable for most post-pregnancy and moderate weight-loss patients.

Best ForSignificant abdominal skin · Full-length diastasis · Post-pregnancy contour change

TechniqueFull transverse incision hip-to-hip. Umbilical repositioning. Full rectus plication.

APPROACH / 03

Extended Abdominoplasty

Flank extension · 360 degree contour

Extended technique carries the scar around the flanks to address loose tissue in the lower back as well as the abdomen. Combined with VASER liposuction of the flanks.

Best ForMajor weight loss · Significant flank laxity · Post-bariatric patients

TechniqueExtended transverse incision into flanks. Full plication. VASER flank liposculpture.

APPROACH / 04

Circumferential Body Lift

Lower body lift · 360 degree skin removal

The most extensive variant - addresses excess skin circumferentially: abdomen, flanks, lower back, outer thighs in one operation.

Best ForPost-bariatric (>30 kg loss) · Circumferential redundancy

TechniqueCircumferential incision at bikini-line level. Significant skin removal. Combined with VASER.

NoteReserved for major weight-loss patients. Two-stage planning often required.

Signature Technology

The drainless abdominoplasty technique.

Used on every tummy tuck at Handa - because the patient recovery experience is materially better.

Tummy Tuck Technology · Signature

Drainless Abdominoplasty

Internal progressive tension sutures eliminate post-operative drains

Drainless technique - no post-operative drains, dramatically improved comfort

VASER ultrasonic liposuction simultaneously - refined waist and flank contouring

Rectus diastasis plication - restored abdominal wall function, not just appearance

Progressive tension sutures internally - closes dead space, reduces seroma risk

Pain protocol - multimodal anaesthesia with long-acting local for minimal opioid post-op

Drainless vs Drained

What the difference looks like in practice

Traditional drained abdominoplasty: 1-2 drain bottles carried home 1-2 weeks. Daily output measurement. Drainless technique: no external drains. Internal sutures close dead space surgically. Patients are remarkably more comfortable in the first 14 days.

VASER Body Contouring

Combined liposculpture for refined results

Traditional abdominoplasty addresses skin and muscle but not residual fat. VASER ultrasonic liposuction simultaneously contours flanks, lower back, and upper abdomen - refined waistline in addition to flat abdomen.

Rectus Plication Technique

Restoring abdominal wall function

Diastasis repaired with permanent suture in two layers - addresses both the cosmetic bulge and the functional weakness. The plication is why tummy tuck improves quality of life, not just appearance.

Candidacy & Who This Is For

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

We turn away roughly one in seven tummy tuck consultations. This is the single most important reason our outcomes look the way they do.

✓

Likely a good candidate

Characteristics associated with good outcomes

You have completed your family - pregnancy after tummy tuck undoes the result

Your weight is stable and within 5 kg of your goal weight

You have rectus diastasis demonstrable on examination

You have excess abdominal skin that does not respond to diet and exercise

You are in good general health, non-smoker or willing to stop for 6 weeks

You can allow 2-3 weeks off work and 6 weeks of activity restriction

You have realistic expectations - tummy tuck is a structural correction, not weight loss

If this sounds like you, the consultation will likely be productive.

—

Likely not ready - or not right

Characteristics that may prompt "not now" or an alternative

You are planning future pregnancies - defer surgery until childbearing is complete

Your BMI is over 32 - outcome is significantly compromised, complication risk rises sharply

You are seeking weight loss - tummy tuck removes skin and fat but is not weight loss

You are a current smoker with no willingness to pause - wound healing dramatically impaired

You have uncontrolled diabetes or cardiovascular disease - surgical risk materially higher

You expect a flat stomach with no visible scar - every tummy tuck leaves a hip-to-hip scar

You have had recent major life stress - aesthetic surgery in crisis rarely serves the patient

If any applies, the consultation is still worthwhile - an honest "not yet" with a clear pathway.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions come up in almost every consultation at Handa.

Will I need to be admitted?

You may be admitted for one night depending upon the amount of work done.

Will it be painful?

Some pain is experienced 1 day after the surgery. This is managed by oral pain killers. The pain subsides in a few days.

Are there any scars?

All scars are not visible and are hidden in underwear/bikini line. Home scar treatment is also advised, which leads to the scars becoming imperceptible in 5-6 months.

How many times do I have to visit you after surgery?

Our doctors maintain excellent follow-up through phone and messages. You will stay in touch with them and are expected to visit on day 10 for the removal of the stitches.

How quickly can I see the result?

You will see results immediately but the results are best seen at 1 month.

Any special post-operative instructions?

You will be required to wear a compression garment for 1 month, for 24 hours a day, to be only taken off while bathing.

Can I get pregnant after the procedure?

You can undergo a normal pregnancy after the procedure. However, it is advised to postpone the surgery if you are planning pregnancy in the next 1 year. Beyond that it is absolutely safe.

How long will the results last?

Results last as long as you maintain your weight within 5 kg of your existing weight.

When can I return to work?

7 days of rest at home is advised, during which you can move about the house and perform daily chores. Ideally, you should return to work only on the 8th day.

What are the charges?

Our prices are reasonable and transparent. We aim to provide the highest quality of services at accessible prices. When you meet our doctors they will explain the details of our price structure with complete transparency.

How long do tummy tucks last?

Tummy tuck surgery is intended to be permanent. However, major weight fluctuation can bring sagging back. It is recommended to keep your weight within 5 kg of your existing weight for the results to stay in place.

How many sizes do you lose with a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck surgery does not assure weight loss. However, patients typically lose two to three sizes after undergoing a tummy tuck.

What is the cost of tummy tuck surgery in Delhi?

Tummy tuck surgery cost in Delhi depends on the clinic, surgeon, technique and case complexity. At Handa Aesthetics our pricing is reasonable and transparent — discussed in detail during consultation.

Does the fat come back after a tummy tuck?

Tummy tuck permanently eliminates fat and saggy skin in the abdominal area. If you gain weight after, it usually settles in other areas such as the buttocks, breasts, arms, thighs or legs.

How long is the recovery time?

The results of a tummy tuck surgery in Delhi are relatively long-lasting, provided there are no dramatic weight discrepancies. Wait until you have had all of your children if you are a woman before getting a tummy tuck. The aesthetic effects will last a long time if you keep a stable weight, eat healthfully, exercise frequently, and don't smoke.
