How is it different from a standard tummy tuck?

A standard tummy tuck treats mainly the front lower abdomen. An extended version reaches around to the flanks, so it suits people whose loose skin wraps to the sides. The scar is longer but stays within the waistline.

Is an extended tummy tuck safe?

For a healthy patient at a stable weight, it is considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. Your health and skin quality are reviewed at consultation before this wider approach is recommended.

Where does the scar go?

The scar runs low across the front and continues around toward each hip, positioned to sit within the line of underwear or swimwear. It fades over many months, and good scar care helps it settle neatly.

How much does an extended tummy tuck cost in Surat?

Q: What is an extended tummy tuck?

It is a tummy tuck with a longer incision that reaches around to the flanks and hips. This lets your surgeon remove loose skin from the front and the sides together, smoothing the whole midsection in one procedure.

Q: How long is recovery after Extended Tummy Tuck?

Recovery is a little longer than a standard tummy tuck because more area is treated. Most people rest for the first week, return to light activity within three weeks and resume routines within six to eight weeks.

What is an extended tummy tuck?

An extended tummy tuck is a longer version of the classic procedure. The incision reaches further around the sides toward the hips.

It suits people whose loose skin does not stop at the front but wraps around to the flanks. By treating a wider area, it smooths the whole midsection in one operation.

Who it suits

People with loose skin that extends from the front around to the flanks
Those left with rolls or bulges on the sides after weight loss
Patients who want the waist and hips smoothed along with the tummy
People at a stable weight with good general health
Those who accept a longer scar for a more complete result

How the procedure works

Your surgeon extends the low horizontal incision around toward each hip. The skin is lifted, the muscle wall is tightened and the surplus skin is removed from the front and sides. The result is a smoother line all the way around the lower torso.

Approaches we may use

Muscle plication for a firmer abdominal wall
Liposuction of the flanks to refine the contour
Careful scar placement so it sits within the waistline

Recovery

Recovery is similar to a standard tummy tuck but slightly longer because more area is treated. Most people rest for the first week, return to light activity within three weeks and resume normal routines within six to eight weeks.
