There are three different types of tummy tuck surgeries. The first is known as traditional or standard tummy tuck procedure. In this process, moderate amount of incision is made that runs in a straight line from one hip bone to other. All fat tissues are suctioned out. Since this process involves considerable skin removal, repositioning of belly button is required.
The second is Mini tummy tuck surgery. It is called mini because it removes smaller amount of skin with tiny incision as compared to traditional method. This process is suitable for healthy individuals who have an otherwise slender physique, if only the abdominal pouch is ignored. In this case, no belly button repositioning is required.
The third is known as extended tummy tuck surgery. This is conducted on patients who have large amount of fat deposited on abdomen, hips and on sides of lower back. In this case, incisions starts from abdomen and reaches around your hips. It is evident that the belly button needs to get repositioned in this case.
These were the three common and primary surgical procedures available. Another method, known as endoscopic tummy tuck is available. This makes the least possible incision and smallest amount of skin removal.
Cost of Tummy tuck surgery in India can range around INR 50,000 to INR 2,00,000. Liposuction when required, requires some additional expenditure.
