Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Surgery in Delhi

Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) at Sama Hospital, South Delhi removes excess abdominal skin and fat and tightens weakened core muscles to restore a flatter, firmer midsection — performed by experienced plastic surgeons in a NABH-accredited hospital.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles to create a flatter, firmer, more toned midsection. It is often chosen by people with loose abdominal skin and weakened core muscles after pregnancy, major weight loss, or ageing — changes that diet and exercise alone frequently cannot correct. At Sama Hospital in South Delhi, abdominoplasty is performed by experienced plastic surgeons in a NABH-accredited facility.

A tummy tuck may be right for you if you have loose or sagging abdominal skin, a protruding belly that persists despite diet and exercise, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) after pregnancy, or excess skin following significant weight loss. Ideal candidates are in good general health, at a stable weight, and are non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery. During your consultation, our surgeon assesses your abdominal wall, skin quality, and goals to recommend the most suitable approach.

• Full (standard) abdominoplasty – for significant excess skin and muscle laxity across the whole abdomen.
• Mini tummy tuck – for a smaller amount of loose skin limited to below the navel.
• Extended abdominoplasty – for excess skin extending to the flanks, often after major weight loss.

Your surgeon recommends the right option based on your anatomy and desired result.

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to three hours. The surgeon makes a horizontal incision low on the abdomen (usually hidden below the bikini line), removes excess skin and fat, repairs and tightens the separated abdominal muscles, and repositions the navel for a natural contour. Our modern operating theatres, dedicated anaesthesia team, and 24×7 critical-care support ensure a safe, closely monitored procedure and recovery.

Most patients stay in hospital for one to two days. Swelling and mild discomfort are well controlled with medication, and a compression garment is worn to support healing. Light activity resumes within one to two weeks, with most people returning to desk work in two to four weeks and to full exercise by six to eight weeks. Results are long-lasting when a stable weight is maintained, giving a flatter, firmer abdominal profile and improved core support.

No. Liposuction removes localised fat but does not remove excess skin or tighten muscles. A tummy tuck removes loose skin and repairs the abdominal wall; the two are sometimes combined for the best contour.

Yes, a tummy tuck leaves a horizontal scar low on the abdomen, positioned so it can be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. It fades significantly over time.

Results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. Significant weight gain or a future pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles again.

When performed by qualified plastic surgeons in an accredited hospital, abdominoplasty is a safe, well-established procedure. At Sama Hospital it is done with full anaesthesia monitoring and 24×7 critical-care backup.

Most patients return to desk work in two to four weeks and resume full exercise by six to eight weeks, following the surgeon’s guidance.
