Tummy Tuck in Guwahati: Free Consultation

No, it will not help you lose weight. Its goal is different: to remove excess stretched skin and the fat apron and restore the abdominal muscle wall. Surgery is done at a stable weight; if your weight is still changing, first see a dietitian or endocrinologist.

Yes, there will be a scar, since removing excess skin always has that price. A classic tummy tuck leaves an incision across the lower abdomen from hip to hip, below the underwear or swimsuit line; a mini tummy tuck leaves a much shorter one. Over time it fades and thins.

Removing sagging skin and the fat apron is exactly what this surgery does: they are removed completely, and stretch marks below the navel go with them. The surgeon pulls the upper abdominal skin down, so the tummy ends up smooth without an extra lift.

No, the patient feels no pain during the procedure — it is done under general anaesthesia, so nothing is felt. In the first days there may be tightness and soreness, which painkillers from the doctor relieve; by the end of the first week the discomfort eases noticeably.

Everyone has the same restrictions after a tummy tuck: for the first 2–3 weeks, no physical exertion, heavy lifting or sudden movements, and for at least a month, no sauna, steam bath, pool, tanning beds, alcohol or smoking. Sport comes back gradually and only with the surgeon's approval. Compression garments are worn for another 4–8 weeks.

The minimum age is 18, only in the absence of contraindications. An upper limit doesn't exist at all — our clinic looks at each case individually, after examination and a health assessment.

It is a question of scope. With a small excess of skin below the navel, a mini tummy tuck is enough: the incision is shorter, the navel is not moved and recovery is quicker. The classic operation removes the skin-and-fat apron across the entire abdomen, moves the navel and allows diastasis repair along the full length of the muscles.

Three milestones mark recovery: after 2–3 weeks you can do office work, by 1.5–2 months swelling and tightness pass, and at 6–12 months, with the tissues fully adapted, the final result and scar are assessed.

Removed skin never grows back; this part of the result is permanent. The abdomen stretches again only with significant weight gain — keep your weight stable. You can get pregnant after a tummy tuck, but pregnancy stretches the repaired muscles, so we plan the surgery once your family is complete.

Yes, it is required. 7–10 days ahead of a tummy tuck, give up smoking, alcohol and medicines that affect blood clotting. You'll need a pre-surgery check-up: blood tests, ECG, leg vein ultrasound, plus GP and anaesthetist consultations. Complete it early, not on the day before.

The answer is the same for everyone: first changes are visible 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides. Then come two checkpoints: 1.5–2 months for an interim result and 3–6 months for the final contours.

Yes, a hospital stay is part of it: after a classic tummy tuck, 1–2 days under medical supervision, and after a mini tummy tuck usually just one day. Recovery continues at home while the surgeon monitors it at scheduled check-ups.

Everyone has the same tests before a tummy tuck: blood and urine tests, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infection tests, ECG, chest X-ray, leg vein ultrasound and a GP's report. The surgeon gives you the exact list at the consultation; results are usually valid for 10–14 days.

No, not everyone needs a repair: it is done only when the rectus abdominis muscles are actually separated. The surgeon sees diastasis at the examination, and if in doubt it is confirmed by ultrasound. The separated muscles are brought together during the same surgery, with no separate procedure needed.

You can get pregnant after a tummy tuck, but the order matters: childbirth should come first, then surgery. Otherwise, the skin and muscles stretch again and you lose part of the result. Surgeons have one piece of advice: if you plan a child, wait at least a year after the procedure.

Yes, it's required; recovery without the garment is worse, since it supports the tissues and reduces swelling. For 3–4 weeks it is worn around the clock, and then during the day for about another month. The exact period is given by the operating surgeon.
