Creating a flatter, firmer abdomen with improved body confidence
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles. Dr. Muddappa P. P., an experienced Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore, performs tummy tuck surgery to restore a firmer, more contoured abdomen.
Changes such as pregnancy, significant weight loss, or ageing can leave behind loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles that do not improve with exercise or diet. These changes can affect posture, comfort, and confidence. Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) helps address these concerns by improving abdominal shape and strength.
At his practice in Bangalore, Dr. Muddappa P. P. offers tummy tuck surgery with careful planning and a patient-focused approach. The goal is not only to improve appearance but also to enhance comfort and core support.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that:
- Removes excess loose skin from the abdomen
- Tightens separated or weakened abdominal muscles
- Improves waistline and abdominal contour
In many cases, tummy tuck surgery is combined with liposuction to enhance overall body shaping and achieve smoother results.
A Thoughtful and Individualised Approach
Every patient's body is different. Dr. Muddappa begins with a detailed consultation to understand concerns, examine abdominal skin quality, muscle tone, and body proportions.
As a trained plastic and reconstructive surgeon, he plans the surgery to achieve natural-looking results while maintaining safety. The amount of skin removal, muscle tightening, and incision placement are carefully customised to each individual.
Clear discussion about scars, recovery, and realistic outcomes helps patients make informed decisions.
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
Tummy tuck surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to four hours, depending on the extent of correction required.
An incision is placed low on the abdomen, usually along the bikini line, so it remains hidden under clothing. Excess skin is removed, abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned smoothly.
Patients may stay in the hospital for a short period after surgery for observation and comfort.
Recovery and Healing
Swelling, tightness, and discomfort are common in the first few weeks and gradually improve. A compression garment is advised to support healing and reduce swelling.
Most patients return to light activities within two to three weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks as advised.
Over the next few months, swelling settles and final results become more visible, revealing a flatter and firmer abdomen.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Tummy tuck surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
- Have loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Have separated abdominal muscles
- Are close to their ideal body weight
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
A consultation helps determine whether a full tummy tuck or a limited procedure would be more appropriate.
