Review on Tummy Tuck Procedure in Delhi

The tummy tuck procedure is a commonly performed aesthetic surgery. Approximately 800,000 people undergo abdominoplasty each year, making it the sixth most common cosmetic procedure. Abdominoplasty involves the excision of superfluous skin and fat tissue to reshape the abdominal wall.

As with any surgery, a tummy tuck also poses certain risks and complications. Knowing the risks associated with the surgery helps patients make an informed decision during the consultation with the plastic surgeon. Following are the potential complications which may arise in a tummy tuck surgery:

Seroma
In male patients, serous fluid accumulation under the abdominal flap is the most common complication following an abdominoplasty. In order to reduce the risk of seroma formation, different surgical strategies have been proposed. Fortunately, seromas can be avoided if an expert plastic surgeon like Dr Rajat Gupta performs the tummy tuck procedure and knows how to mitigate the risks by making the right surgical decisions.

Infection
There is commonly inflammation in a defined region, characterised by erythema, oedema, discomfort, and an elevated local temperature. Most infections after abdominoplasties are caused by bacterial skin flora: particularly Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus, which require second-line antibiotic therapy. Infections caused by bacteria are eliminated by sterile handling of the surgical environment.

Tissue Damage
Tummy tuck surgery may destroy fatty tissue deep under your skin in the abdominal area, which is essential for the bodys physiology. Smoking cigarettes raises the risk of tissue damage or necrosis. Depending on the extent of the wound, the tissue may heal by itself or require corrective tummy tuck surgery in Delhi. Necrosis may begin with indicators of insufficient hydration, such as delayed capillary fill and decreased local temperature.

Haematoma
In tummy tuck procedures, haematomas occur less frequently
