TUMMY TUCK

Restore strength. Reveal self.

“Abdominoplasty repairs more than muscles — it restores core strength, posture, and the patient’s relationship with their own body.”

- Dr. Parag Mahadik

What is a Tummy Tuck?

Think of it as a complete rejuvenation for your midsection—addressing loose skin, stubborn fat, and muscle separation all in one go. The result? A firmer, flatter abdomen that looks and feels like it’s been given a fresh start.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles of the abdominal wall. It also repositions the belly button and sculpts the waist and lower torso for a balanced, toned appearance.

At Esmee, Mumbai’s premier Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mahadik customizes every tummy tuck to match your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether you need a mini-tuck for mild concerns, a full tummy tuck for more comprehensive results, or an extended version to address the flanks as well—he’ll design a plan that works best for you. And here’s the bonus: liposuction is often incorporated into the procedure to refine your contours and enhance your overall results.

A MINI TUMMY TUCK (or Mini Abdominoplasty) is designed to target the area below the belly button. It’s perfect for those who have a small amount of loose skin, stubborn fat, or mild muscle laxity in the lower abdomen but don’t need the full scope of a traditional tummy tuck.

BENEFITS OF A TUMMY TUCK



The goal is to create a flatter, tighter, and more balanced abdominal contour while eliminating discomfort caused by skin folds, weakened muscles, and post-pregnancy changes.

  • Removes loose, stretched, or hanging skin
  • Eliminates lower abdominal fat resistant to exercise
  • Repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Restores a youthful belly button position and appearance
  • Improves posture and abdominal strength
  • Reduces stretch marks in the lower abdomen
  • Enhances comfort in clothing and swimwear


This surgery is about more than just how you look—it’s about how you feel. It’s about reclaiming your body, boosting your confidence, and enjoying the freedom to live life without being held back by physical discomfort or self-consciousness.

TYPES & VARIATIONS OF A TUMMY TUCK

Depending on your unique needs and goals, our skilled Sydney aesthetic surgeon, Dr. Mahadik may recommend one of the many approaches listed below.


Aesthetic surgeons might recommend the following types of tummy tuck based on your needs:

  1. Full Tummy Tuck: Ideal for significant skin and muscle laxity, this procedure addresses the entire abdomen, including repositioning the belly button for a complete transformation
  2. Mini Tummy Tuck: Best for mild skin excess limited to below the belly button, this option involves a shorter scar and doesn’t require repositioning the belly button. It’s perfect for those with less extensive concerns.
  3. Extended Tummy Tuck: For more comprehensive reshaping, this procedure extends to the back, hips, and flanks, removing excess skin and fat from these areas as well. It’s a great option for those seeking a full-body contouring effect.

Every step of the procedure is designed to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. A master of his craft, Dr. Mahadik, Mumbai’s Cosmetic surgeon, combines precision, artistry, and care to create results that look natural and feel transformative. Whether you’re addressing post-pregnancy changes, weight loss, or simply wanting to restore your confidence, a tummy tuck can help you feel like the best version of yourself again.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck can be a transformative procedure for individuals dealing with excess skin or fat in the lower abdomen, especially when these concerns don’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s particularly beneficial for those who are at or near their ideal body weight and looking to refine their shape rather than achieve major weight loss. People who have experienced muscle separation, such as diastasis recti after pregnancy, may find that a tummy tuck helps repair and tighten these abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, firmer stomach. Additionally, those seeking a more aesthetically pleasing midsection and a renewed sense of confidence often find that a tummy tuck allows them to live more freely and comfortably in their bodies.

This procedure is ideally suited for individuals who do not plan to become pregnant again, as future pregnancies could undo the surgical results. Being in good physical and mental health is essential for a smooth recovery and for achieving the best possible outcome. It’s important that candidates have a clear understanding of what the procedure entails and maintain realistic expectations about both the recovery period and the final results. Recognizing the limits and benefits of the surgery can lead to greater satisfaction and a more positive overall experience.

Ultimately, a tummy tuck isn’t just about changing your physical appearance—it’s about enhancing how you feel in your own skin. With the right conditions in place—physical readiness, emotional preparedness, and timing—it can be a powerful step toward looking and feeling your best.

YOUR TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

A tummy tuck typically takes around 2 to 3 hours to perform under general anesthesia, though the duration may vary depending on the specific technique and the extent of the procedure. Most patients are discharged the same day, but in some cases, a short hospital stay of one to two nights is recommended for monitoring and comfort. Before surgery begins, detailed planning is carried out by Dr. Parag Mahadik, a renowned Cosmetic surgeon in Mumbai. He carefully marks the abdomen to guide incision placement and ensure symmetry, which is essential for achieving natural, balanced results tailored to each patient’s anatomy.


The surgical process begins with a horizontal incision placed just above the pubic area, within the bikini line, making it easy to conceal under clothing. The length of this incision depends on how much skin and fat need to be removed. After the incision is made, the skin and fat are gently lifted to expose the abdominal muscles. If the abdominal muscles are separated or weakened—a common occurrence post-pregnancy—Dr. Mahadik repairs them using strong, permanent sutures. This step not only flattens the stomach but also enhances core stability and posture. Once the muscles are repaired, excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen are carefully trimmed away to create a smoother, more contoured appearance.
To preserve a natural aesthetic, the belly button is repositioned through a small, newly created opening in the tightened skin. Liposuction may also be used to sculpt the flanks and upper abdomen, enhancing the overall silhouette by refining curves and proportions. The procedure concludes with the closure of incisions using dissolvable sutures, which eliminates the need for suture removal later. A supportive dressing is applied to protect the area, promote healing, and minimize swelling. This comprehensive approach ensures not only an improved abdominal appearance but also lasting functional benefits.

RECOVERY PROCESS

During the first few weeks after your tummy tuck, expect some soreness and a slightly bent posture, especially in the early days. Light activity is encouraged, and any discomfort can be managed with prescribed medication. As you progress from days 4 to 7, dressings will be checked, and any drains may be removed. Gentle walking helps circulation and aids healing. By week two, you can slowly return to light household duties—just avoid heavy lifting. Sleeping on your back with your knees elevated helps reduce tension on the incision. Between weeks 3 and 4, many patients feel ready to resume desk work, and wearing your compression garment consistently is crucial for reducing swelling and supporting your new shape. By weeks 6 to 12, most can return to full activity, including workouts, but it’s important to ease into it gradually and listen to your body.

Recovery is generally smooth, but being aware of potential risks is important. These include minor issues like fluid buildup (seroma), mild sensory changes, or visible scarring, all of which are carefully managed by Dr. Parag Mahadik using advanced techniques to minimize impact. Infection, bleeding, and rare complications such as blood clots can be avoided by following post-operative instructions closely. Dr. Mahadik also takes great care in repositioning the belly button to ensure it looks natural within your new abdominal contour. As your body continues to heal over the next 3 to 6 months, swelling will gradually subside, and your final results will become more visible—patience and good aftercare are key.

At Esmee, our commended Dr. Mahadik, Mumbai’s Cosmetic surgeon specialist uses advanced closure techniques, including layered suturing, to minimize complications and ensure your results are both natural and long-lasting. His team is here to guide you every step of the way, answering any questions and addressing concerns to make your recovery as smooth and stress-free as possible.

YOUR MUMMY MAKEOVER RESULTS RESULTS

As your body heals over the coming weeks, you’ll start to see the full transformation: a tighter waistline, a flatter belly, and clothes that fit better than ever before.

Patients often express how transformative a tummy tuck has been for their lives, with many feeling as though they’ve finally reclaimed their bodies. This renewed body confidence brings a sense of pride and self-assurance that radiates into everyday life. Beyond aesthetics, the physical benefits are just as impactful—removing excess skin and fat, along with repairing core muscles, makes movement feel lighter and more natural. Exercise becomes easier and more enjoyable, and for those who once dealt with skin irritation or folds, the relief is both immediate and lasting. Improved posture and core strength also emerge as unexpected but welcomed benefits, making daily life feel more supported and comfortable.

The changes from a tummy tuck go far beyond the surface, offering a lasting transformation when paired with healthy habits and proper aftercare. As long as you maintain a stable weight and active lifestyle, the results can endure for many years. For most patients, it’s not just about the visual improvement—it’s about the confidence, freedom, and comfort they gain, allowing them to fully embrace their lives with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
