Post-pregnancy and childbirth fat accumulation around the stomach is common among women undergoing C-sections. Sagging and an inflated tummy caused by C-section can be effectively treated through a tummy tuck. 

In this blog, Dr. Mrinalini Sharma, performing tummy tuck surgery in Delhi at the Aestiva Clinic, discloses an insightful study of the treatment using post-C-section. 

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is plastic surgery of the abdominal area. This surgical procedure removes excess fat tissues from one’s stomach and enables him to experience a slimmer look. 

The tummy tuck is a surgery of incisions; hence, Dr. Mrinalini Sharma, a plastic surgeon in Delhi performs this treatment under general or local anesthesia. Some of the top-notch benefits of considering abdominoplasty are underneath:-

• The tummy tuck is a liposuction of the stomach. As a result, it helps one achieve the desired slim look.
• Abdominoplasty helps one to get relief from backaches, muscle pain, shoulder discomfort, and bad posture.
• Excessive fat on the tummy causes spinal issues and triggers ventral hernias. Liposuction of the tummy area reduces the chances of such physical discomfort.
• A trimmed belly rejuvenates one’s self-confidence and ease-out the discomfort in day-to-day physical activities.

Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery

After knowing the benefits of the tummy tuck, if one is willing to opt for this surgical procedure, then Dr. Mrinalini Sharma further states that there are three types of tummy tuck surgeries available at Aestiva Plastic Surgery Centre. These are:-

1. Mini Tummy Tuck
   The mini tummy tuck is the liposuction of the lower abdomen. This single-cut surgery is beneficial for treating sagging belly skin and stretch marks post-pregnancy. Usually, plastic surgeons choose one’s pubic area to make that one incision and tighten the patient's lower abdominal and scars removal. Mini abdominoplasty can reduce the increased waist size. As a result, one can fit into slim-fit jeans.
   
   
2. Classic- Full-Tummy Tuck

The lower and upper abdominals are two parts of one’s stomach. Classic full tummy tuck facilitates one to achieve the desired figure by targeting all abdominal walls. Full-tummy tuck benefits abdominal skin tightening, scar removal, and body contouring. U-shaped incisions starting from one’s pubic area to the upper abdominal are used to extract excessive fat.

1. Extended Tummy Tuck

This surgery is beneficial for treating the upper and lower abdominal flanks. The best candidates for this surgery are those with extra skin that has sagged due to excessive weight loss and those with abdominal muscles that have lost some flexibility due to carrying many babies. Long incisions are made to remove extra, drooping skin from the upper and lower belly and the flanks and tighten the abdominal wall.

Hopefully, it is clear now that if one opts for a tummy tuck post-C-section, an extended tummy tuck will be a great option. To learn more about this procedure, visit Dr. Mrinalini Sharma at Aestiva Clinic for the effective outcome of tummy tuck surgery.
