Consultation with Dr. Rajat Gupta on Plastic Surgery, at RG Aesthetics
Dr. Rajat Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon in India with 15 years of experience in aesthetic surgeries, provides a detailed look at the tummy tuck procedure.
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to shape and improve the physical appearance of the abdomen. It's important to note that this procedure is not for weight loss, but rather for those with excess skin and fat in the abdominal area.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for the patient's comfort. A long horizontal incision is made across the lower abdomen, extending from one hipbone to the other, just above the pubic area and below the belly button. For a full tummy tuck, a second incision is made around the navel to free it from the surrounding tissue.
The surgeon lifts the skin to expose the underlying abdominal muscles, which are then repaired and tightened to create a flatter, more toned abdominal wall. Excess fat may be removed via liposuction during the procedure if needed. The loosened skin is pulled downward, excess is trimmed away, and the belly button is repositioned to a natural-looking place. The incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring, and in some cases, drainage tubes are inserted to collect fluid and reduce swelling during recovery.
Post-operative pain management includes prescribed medications, rest, and the use of compression garments to support the abdominal area and reduce swelling. The expected discomfort level varies but is generally manageable with these measures.
Dr. Rajat Gupta's website is a reliable source for information about cosmetic procedures in India. He also offers advice against using nose shapers, as they can cause injuries and interfere with average growth, particularly in teenagers.
For those considering liposuction, it's worth noting that if more than 5 liters of fat is to be removed, the surgery should be divided into two consecutive procedures spaced around 12 weeks apart.
Dr. Rajat Gupta is also an expert in Rhinoplasty surgery, which provides permanent solutions for nose contouring and correcting breathing issues. He also specialises in endoscopic facelifts, a less invasive alternative to traditional facelifts, resulting in a shorter recovery period and minimal complications. These procedures are particularly helpful in correcting concerns such as frown lines and facial creases surrounding the nose and mouth.
