Abdominoplasty

Struggling with stubborn belly fat, loose skin folds, or weakened abdominal muscles after weight loss or pregnancy? Does your midsection make you feel self-conscious, no matter how hard you work out or eat right?

Introduction

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a transformative surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer, and more youthful silhouette. At Asteria Aesthetics Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya offers advanced abdominoplasty techniques that are safe, precise, and customized to your body’s natural contours.

Whether you've undergone major weight loss, childbirth, or just want to regain your core confidence—this procedure is your path to lasting transformation.

Common causes leading to abdominoplasty:

The abdominal area is one of the most challenging regions to tone, especially after life events that alter skin elasticity and muscle structure. Some issues go beyond fat and involve deeper anatomical changes.

Causes that often lead patients to consider abdominoplasty:

• Excess abdominal skin following significant weight loss
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) post-pregnancy
• Stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise
• Sagging or hanging skin due to aging or genetics
• Stretch marks and loose skin after multiple pregnancies
• Previous abdominal surgeries like C-sections, leaving asymmetry

Abdominoplasty is especially effective when both muscle tightening and skin removal are needed together—not just fat reduction.

Treatment process for abdominoplasty:

Step 1: Personal Consultation

Description: Dr. Apoorv Loya evaluates your core, skin elasticity, and muscle tone. A personalized surgical plan is created based on your body type and desired outcome.

Result: A clearly outlined plan including incision type, possible muscle repair, and expected recovery.

Best For: Individuals with loose skin, poor muscle tone, or post-pregnancy belly issues.

Step 2: Surgical Procedure

Description: Under general anesthesia, an incision is made low on the abdomen (within the bikini line). Excess skin is removed, underlying muscles are sutured for core tightening, and remaining skin is draped for a smooth finish. Liposuction may be added to contour flanks or upper abdomen.

Result: A flatter, tighter stomach and stronger core with improved posture.

Best For: Moderate to severe abdominal laxity and post-weight loss patients.

Step 3: Recovery & Healing

Description: Patients wear compression garments and follow post-op care. Drainage tubes may be used temporarily. Regular follow-ups track healing and prevent complications.

Result: Initial swelling reduces in 2–3 weeks. Final results are visible by 3 months.

Best For: Patients committed to healing and maintaining a stable weight.

Before, during and after your abdominoplasty treatment:

Before Your Treatment

Patients often report feeling frustrated with sagging skin or an “overhang” that affects their clothing, confidence, and activity levels. Pre-surgery consultations include 3D simulations, lifestyle assessment, and full medical clearance.

During Your Treatment

Performed in Asteria’s fully equipped OT under general anesthesia, the surgery takes around 3–4 hours. Our focus is always on hidden incisions, minimal trauma, and excellent shaping outcomes.

After Your Treatment

Compression garments are worn to support healing. Mild swelling, tightness, or bruising is expected but manageable. Within 2 weeks, mobility improves, and by 2–3 months, patients enjoy a redefined, sculpted silhouette.

Benefits of abdominoplasty treatment:

An abdominoplasty is more than a cosmetic procedure—it can dramatically improve your body confidence and even physical function.

Key benefits include:

• Firmer and flatter abdominal contour

• Removal of excess skin and stretch marks

• Strengthened core and improved posture

• Easier fit in clothes and better mobility

• Boosted confidence in social, professional, and personal life

• Long-lasting results with proper maintenance

Lifestyle tips after abdominoplasty:

Post-surgical care and healthy habits can prolong your results and accelerate healing.

• Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks as advised

• Sleep slightly elevated to reduce tension on incisions

• Avoid strenuous activities or lifting for the first month

• Eat protein-rich, low-sodium meals to support tissue repair

• Stay hydrated and avoid smoking

• Incorporate light walks to improve circulation

FAQs:

Q1. Is abdominoplasty a weight loss surgery?

No. It is not for weight loss but rather for contouring and skin tightening after weight loss or pregnancy.

Q2. Will there be visible scars?

The incision is placed low on the abdomen, typically hidden by underwear or swimsuits. Scars fade with proper care.

Q3. Can I get pregnant after abdominoplasty?

Yes, but future pregnancies can undo the results, so it’s recommended after family planning.

Q4. When can I resume work?

Most patients return to light work within 2 weeks. Physical jobs may require 4–6 weeks off.

Q5. Is it painful?

Some discomfort is expected post-surgery, but is well-managed with medication and care instructions.
