Get Your Confidence Back with Tummy Tuck Surgery in Lucknow

During the procedure, you're under general anesthesia, so you won't feel anything. After surgery, you'll experience soreness and tightness in your abdomen, similar to muscle soreness after intense exercise. We provide pain medication to keep you comfortable. Most patients manage well with prescribed painkillers for the first week. Pain gradually decreases and becomes manageable within 2-3 weeks.

• 1-2 weeks: Rest at home, avoid heavy lifting, light walking is encouraged
• 2-4 weeks: Gradual return to desk work and light daily activities
• 6-8 weeks: Resume exercise and normal physical activities
• 3-6 months: Full healing and final results visible

Recovery varies by individual. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and monitors your progress closely.

Yes, tummy tuck surgery involves an incision, which means there will be a scar. However:

• The incision is placed low on your abdomen, typically along the bikini line, so it's hidden by underwear or swimwear
• Scars are initially pink or red but fade significantly over 12-18 months
• We use advanced closure techniques to minimize scarring
• Proper post-operative care (which we'll teach you) helps scars heal optimally

Most patients feel the trade-off is well worth the dramatic improvement in their belly contour.

You may be an ideal candidate if:

• You have excess, sagging abdominal skin (from pregnancy, weight loss, or aging)
• You've tried diet and exercise, but can't tighten your belly
• You're at or near your goal weight (tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure)
• You're in good overall health and don't smoke (or are willing to quit)
• You're done having children (future pregnancies can affect results)
• You have realistic expectations

During your consultation, our surgeon will assess whether this procedure is right for you.

If your stretch marks are located on the lower abdomen (below your belly button), they'll likely be removed along with the excess skin. Stretch marks above the belly button will remain, but may appear less noticeable as the skin is tightened and repositioned.

• Liposuction removes fat only. It doesn't address loose skin or separated muscles.
• A tummy tuck removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and can also remove some fat.

If you have good skin elasticity but stubborn fat, liposuction might be enough. If you have loose, hanging skin (common after pregnancy or major weight loss), a tummy tuck is usually the better option. Sometimes, both procedures are combined for optimal results. Our surgeon will recommend what's best for your situation.

Tummy tuck results are long-lasting, but significant weight gain after surgery can stretch your skin and affect your results. We recommend:

• Maintaining a stable weight through healthy eating and regular exercise
• Postponing surgery if you're planning significant weight loss
• Committing to a healthy lifestyle after your procedure

Minor weight fluctuations (5-10 lbs) typically won't dramatically impact your results.

Most patients return to desk jobs or light work within 2 weeks. If your job involves physical labor, heavy lifting, or prolonged standing, you may need 4-6 weeks off. We'll provide a personalized timeline during your consultation based on your occupation and recovery progress.

When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in a properly equipped facility, tummy tuck surgery is generally safe. Like any surgery, there are risks (infection, bleeding, scarring, anesthesia reactions), but serious complications are rare. At Minnerva Clinic:

• Our surgeons are board-certified with extensive experience
• We follow strict safety and hygiene protocols
• You're monitored throughout surgery and recovery
• We screen candidates carefully to ensure they're healthy enough for surgery

We'll discuss all risks and safety measures during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
