Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, is a popular cosmetic surgery intended for fat reduction, skin tightening, and reshaping of the abdomen.

Sometimes, this helps improve the patient's posture and reduces back discomfort brought about by weak core muscles.Dr. Kiran Nerkar performs abdominoplasty surgery at Aakar Aesthetics in Nashik using the latest, safest techniques to ensure natural contours of the body with long-lasting results. Whether you wish to regain your pre-pregnancy figure or want to enhance your body after massive weight loss, abdominoplasty can help you get back a smooth, flattened silhouette with renewed confidence.

There are a number of different procedures for a tummy tuck, depending on the extent of change you would like to see. During the typical tummy tuck, your plastic surgeon makes incisions to remove most of the skin and fat between your bellybutton and pubic hair in a horizontal oval or elliptical shape. Connective tissue (fascia) that lies over the abdominal muscles is then tightened with permanent sutures.Dr. Kiran Nerkar Sir will then reposition the skin around your bellybutton. Your bellybutton will be brought out through a small incision and sutured in its normal position. The incision from hip to hip above the pubic hair will be stitched together and will leave a scar that falls along the natural crease within the bikini line.During the procedure you might be given an antibiotic to prevent infection.The procedure typically takes about two to three hours.
Right after the surgery, your tummy and belly button will have dressings to help protect the areas and support healing. Sometimes, there might be small drainage tubes near the incision site to remove extra fluid from the body and reduce swelling; these are always removed within a few days.Our medical team at Aakar Aesthetics, headed by Dr. Kiran Nerkar, will assist in getting up and walking gently on the same day or the next morning for better blood circulation and to avoid blood clots.It is common to have mild to moderate pain and swelling for a few days, and this can easily be managed with prescribed pain relievers and appropriate rest. You may be advised to:Wear an abdominal binder for support for approximately 4-6 weeks to help in healing and preventing fluid buildup.Take prescribed antibiotics or blood-thinning medication to prevent infection and enhance healing.Avoid bending, heavy lifting, or any sudden movement that may pull on your incision line.Keep your drains clean, and empty them as your doctor instructs.Detailed post-operative instructions will be given and regular follow-ups are scheduled by Dr. Nerkar and his team after your surgery to check on your recovery and scar healing. Most patients can return to light activities within 2 weeks and enjoy a flatter, firmer abdomen as healing progresses over the next few months.Your tummy tuck results will continue to get better naturally with time and proper care, lasting for many years, thus helping you regain confidence in your body.
By removing excess skin and fat and strengthening your abdominal wall, a tummy tuck can give your abdomen a more toned and slimmer appearance
A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a Aesthetic surgeon procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens weakened or separated muscles to create a firmer, flatter abdominal profile. It’s especially popular after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
You may be a good candidate if you have loose abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or stretch marks below the belly button. Dr. Kiran Nerkar will assess your goals, medical history, and body condition before recommending the procedure.
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss solution, but it does dramatically improve body contour. Ideal candidates are already near their target weight but struggle with sagging skin or bulges that won’t go away through diet or exercise.
Most patients resume light activities in 2 weeks and full activities in 4–6 weeks. Wearing a compression garment and following aftercare instructions from Dr. Nerkar is essential for smooth healing and long-lasting results.
The cost depends on factors such as skin laxity, whether muscle tightening is required, and whether liposuction is combined. At Aakar Aesthetics Surgery, Dr. Kiran Nerkar offers transparent, personalized pricing based on your anatomy and goals—ensuring you understand the full scope before making a decision.
