Tummy Tuck in Hyderabad — Post-Pregnancy & Post-Weight-Loss Abdominoplasty
Full, mini, and extended tummy tuck performed by Dr. Ram Prabhu, DNB Super Speciality Plastic Surgeon. Restores flat, firm abdomen after pregnancy or major weight loss. Often combined with liposuction.
What Is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) addresses three problems liposuction cannot fix: loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and stretch marks below the navel. It is the gold-standard procedure for women who have completed pregnancy or anyone who has experienced significant weight loss and is left with hanging skin.
Unlike liposuction, which only removes fat through small incisions, a tummy tuck involves an incision low across the bikini line — designed to be hidden by underwear. Through this access, Dr. Ram Prabhu repairs separated muscles (creating an "internal corset"), removes excess skin, repositions the navel, and tightens the abdominal contour.
At our Kondapur clinic, we tailor the procedure: mini tummy tuck for limited lower-abdomen looseness, full tummy tuck for typical post-pregnancy presentation, and extended (with hip/back skin) for post-bariatric patients. Most procedures combine liposuction of the flanks for a circumferential result — known as a 360° body contouring.
Tummy tuck is also the cornerstone of a "mommy makeover" — typically combining tummy tuck with breast lift/augmentation to restore pre-pregnancy body contour.
