What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that firms and slims the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening abdominal muscles. Some tummy tuck procedures also include liposuction of the love handles and abdomen, when needed, for more dramatic results. For patients with stretch marks below the belly button, tummy tuck surgery can physically remove the affected skin to help you feel more confident showing off your stomach in clothing and bathing suits.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK?
Good candidates for abdominoplasty in Albany, New York are people who are seeking significant results in shaping their waist and midsection, especially when there is loose skin throughout the abdomen. Tummy tuck procedures are popular among women who have undergone pregnancy and childbirth and are looking for a way to get their pre-pregnancy body contour back. In addition, good candidates should:
- Be in generally good health
- Be at or near their ideal body weight
- Have suitable skin elasticity around the surgical area
- Be non-smokers
- Have no underlying medical conditions that would prevent them from tolerating surgery
Other people who commonly seek abdominoplasties are men and women who have experienced significant weight loss, and now have excess skin on their abdomen.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE
Plastic surgeries are never one-size-fits-all procedures. During your consultations with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sanjiv Kayastha, you and he will develop a personalized surgery plan to address any and all of your needs for the best, most natural-looking tummy tuck results. There are several types of tummy tucks that are categorized by how extensive the specific procedure is. In every abdominoplasty surgery, at least one incision is made and the weakened underlying muscles are tightened, and excess skin is re-draped to appear tighter. Additionally, excess fat can be removed with liposuction techniques. The end result is a smooth, tightened, and toned mid-section.

TUMMY TUCK RESULTS
The reason abdominoplasties are so popular is that they’re so effective at providing patients with a smooth, firm, and slim abdomen. Although it can help to look at before-and-after photos of other patients who have undergone this plastic surgery, your tummy tuck results will be unique to you and your natural proportions. In general, after you have fully recovered, you should have firmer abdominal muscles to prevent a bulge from forming, and smooth, tight abdominal skin. In addition, your silhouette may be slimmer, especially if your procedure included liposuction of the abdomen, hips, or love handles. Abdominoplasty patients frequently say that they have increased self-confidence in whatever they choose to wear, and are much more satisfied with the image they see in photos and in the mirror.
RECOVERING FROM TUMMY TUCK SURGERY
Abdominoplasty is one of the more invasive cosmetic surgery options out there, capable of achieving dramatic results upon full recovery. This means, however, that there is significant downtime involved with even the standard procedure. Immediately after surgery, you will feel the most pain and discomfort. This can be managed with either over-the-counter or prescription pain medication, depending on Dr. Kayastha’s instructions. For the first few days, you will have drains in place at the incision site to collect excess fluid; Dr. Kayastha will give you instructions for taking care of the drains as well as your incisions prior to surgery. It’s helpful to rest and sleep often to help your body heal, and doing so on an incline helps alleviate the swelling. Dr. Kayastha will also give you a compression garment to help reduce swelling, which you will need to wear for four to six weeks under your clothing. You will be able to get up and walk around for regular but brief periods to encourage circulation starting the first or second day after your abdominoplasty.
You will likely need to take a week or two off of work, depending on the type of job and level of activity required. You’ll need to wait four to six weeks before resuming strenuous activities such as exercise.
ALTERNATIVES TO [PROCEDURE NAME]
For those who aren’t ready or aren’t good candidates for invasive surgeries, or for people looking for something a little different than abdominoplasty to solve their aesthetic desires, K Plastic Surgery provides many alternatives to abdominoplasty surgery in Albany.
Liposuction
To get rid of pockets of stubborn, excess fat that isn’t responding to your best efforts of dieting and exercising, liposuction can help. In this minimally invasive procedure, a thin cannula, or hollow tube, is inserted into the area and literally sucks out unwanted fat.

If you have problem areas other than the abdomen and lower body, another body contouring surgery may be better suited for you. Dr. Kayastha can perform multiple plastic surgery procedures at the same time, such as tummy tuck and arm lift, to help give you the curves you want.
Read MoreCoolSculping®
For those who don’t want to deal with any incisions, we also offer a completely non-surgical solution to getting rid of excess fat, CoolSculpting. Although not as effective as liposuction or abdominoplasty, CoolSculpting can reduce fat in stubborn areas up to 25%.
