Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at improving abdominal contour by removing excess skin and fat and tightening abdominal muscles. At Nypunya Aesthetics in Bangalore, this surgery is tailored to fit your unique needs, with transparent pricing, comprehensive recovery management, and high safety standards.
Tummy Tuck Costs in India and Bangalore
The cost of a tummy tuck varies widely based on the complexity of the procedure, location, and surgeon expertise. At Nypunya Aesthetics, prices start from 1.5 lakhs INR for mini tummy tuck procedures and can go up to 7 lakhs INR for extensive high-definition or combined surgeries such as hernia repair.
– Level of abdominoplasty required (simple vs. extended).
– Additional procedures like liposuction, fat grafting, or abdominal wall reconstruction.
– Hospital facility, anesthesia, and post-operative care costs.
Compared to the US or UK, where similar surgeries can cost 15 times more, India offers high-quality results at affordable prices, especially in cities like Bangalore.
Insurance and Payment Options
Purely aesthetic tummy tucks typically are not covered by health insurance in India. However, if abdominal wall reconstruction or hernia repair is involved, partial reimbursement may be possible. Many hospitals and clinics also offer EMI or easy payment plans to make the surgery accessible without financial strain.
Recovery Process and Timeline
Recovery from tummy tuck surgery requires patience and adherence to medical guidance. The typical timeline includes:
– Day 1: Early walking to prevent blood clots; pain controlled with medication.
– Week 1-2: Wearing compression garments to support healing and control swelling. Drains, if placed, are usually removed within this period.
– Weeks 2-3: Most patients can resume light work and daily activities.
– Weeks 6-8: Patients can return to regular exercise and heavier physical activity.
– 3-6 Months: Complete resolution of swelling and final contour appearance.
Patients are advised against heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks to avoid pressure on healing muscles. The initial tightness and discomfort improve substantially after the first few weeks. Post-operative massages and regular follow-ups at Nypunya Aesthetics support optimal recovery.
Risks and Complications
Tummy tuck surgery is generally safe when performed by experienced and qualified plastic surgeons. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks:
– Infection or wound healing issues.
– Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
– Temporary or rarely permanent numbness around the incision.
– Visible scarring or need for minor revision surgery (less than 3% cases).
– Fluid accumulation (seroma) which may require drainage.
NyPunya Aesthetics employs strict protocols including preoperative screening and post-surgical care to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety.
Expected Results and Benefits
A tummy tuck can significantly enhance body contour by:
– Removing excess sagging skin and fat.
– Repairing separated muscles (diastasis recti) to flatten the abdomen.
– Improving posture and potentially relieving back pain caused by abdominal wall weakness.
– Boosting confidence and body image, leading to improved quality of life.
While results are visible immediately after surgery, swelling takes several weeks to subside, with the final shape settling in up to 6 months. The scars are discreetly placed within the bikini line and fade over time to be virtually unnoticeable.
Lifestyle After Tummy Tuck
Patients can expect to resume most activities within weeks, with normal flexibility returning after 3-4 months. Pregnancy after tummy tuck is possible but may stretch the tightened muscles and compromise results, so it is advised to plan the surgery after completing your family. Breastfeeding is not affected by tummy tuck surgery.
