BODY CONTOURING
Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty Surgery in Kolkata
Tummy Tuck in Kolkata
Tummy tuck in Kolkata, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a specialised body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat while improving the overall contour of the abdomen. It may be particularly beneficial for individuals who have developed loose abdominal skin after pregnancy, significant weight loss or changes in body weight. In selected patients, tummy tuck surgery can also address separation or laxity of the abdominal muscles, helping create a firmer and more defined abdominal profile.
Advanced Tummy Tuck Surgery in Kolkata
Tummy tuck surgery in Kolkata is individually planned according to the patient’s abdominal anatomy, skin laxity, distribution of excess tissue and aesthetic goals. During abdominoplasty, excess skin and fat are removed and the abdominal tissues are reshaped. Where appropriate, repair of separated abdominal muscles may also be performed. The surgical approach depends on the patient’s individual requirements, with options ranging from a mini tummy tuck to a full or extended abdominoplasty.
Who May Benefit from Abdominoplasty?
Patients with significant loose abdominal skin, stretch marks, excess lower abdominal tissue or abdominal muscle separation may consider tummy tuck surgery. It can be especially useful when diet and exercise have improved overall fitness but cannot eliminate excess skin. Stable body weight and realistic expectations are important considerations when assessing suitability for abdominoplasty.
Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in Kolkata
In selected patients, tummy tuck and liposuction may be combined to improve both excess skin and localised fat deposits. While abdominoplasty primarily addresses skin and abdominal wall laxity, liposuction can help refine areas such as the waist and flanks. Whether combining these procedures is appropriate depends on the patient’s anatomy, health and surgical goals and should be determined during an individual consultation.
Natural-Looking Abdominal Contouring
The goal of tummy tuck surgery in Kolkata is not simply to remove excess skin but to create a smoother, firmer and proportionate abdominal contour. Careful planning of tissue removal, abdominal wall repair, umbilical position and incision placement is important for achieving an aesthetically balanced result. Patients should also understand that abdominoplasty leaves a scar, although its position and appearance can be discussed during consultation.

The procedure
The procedure is performed in a modern, fully-equipped operation theatre with a qualified anaesthetist and trained surgical team. Markings are made with you standing, checked against pre-operative photographs and simulations. Tissue is handled with meticulous, layered technique, closure is tension-free, and dressings or garments are applied before you are shifted to recovery. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia so that you will be discharged home the next day after surgery.
