Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck or liposuction? +

Liposuction is best for candidates near their ideal body weight with good skin elasticity who have localized fat pockets. A tummy tuck is ideal if you have loose or sagging abdominal skin and weakened or separated abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis), often following pregnancy or substantial weight loss.

Can liposuction and tummy tuck be performed together? +

Yes. Combining liposuction with abdominoplasty (lipo-abdominoplasty) allows Dr. Bharathi to sculpt the waist and flanks while removing excess abdominal skin, delivering a more complete 360-degree waistline transformation.

What procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover? +

A Mommy Makeover is tailored to your individual goals and typically combines abdominal tightening (tummy tuck), breast rejuvenation (lift, augmentation, or reduction), and liposuction to address post-pregnancy physical changes.

How is male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) performed? +

Gynecomastia surgery combines liposuction to remove fatty tissue with direct gland excision through a small periareolar incision when firm glandular tissue is present, creating a flat and masculine chest wall contour.

What is the general recovery timeline after body contouring surgery? +

Minor procedures like lipoma excision or localized liposuction require 3 to 7 days before returning to work. Major body contouring like a tummy tuck or mommy makeover requires 10 to 14 days of rest, with compression garments worn for 4 to 6 weeks.

Which body contouring procedure has the shortest recovery time? +

Multiple lipoma excision and localized micro-liposuction have the shortest recovery periods, typically allowing patients to resume normal desk work within 1 to 3 days.

Can I combine a body contouring procedure with a facial procedure in the same visit? +

Yes. Depending on your overall health and total operative time safety limits, procedures such as liposuction or lipoma excision can be safely paired with facial fat transfer, blepharoplasty, or skin treatments in a single operative session.

Is there a minimum age for body contouring surgery? +

Patients must be at least 18 years of age with stable physical growth for elective body contouring procedures like liposuction or tummy tuck. Male breast reduction for gynecomastia may be evaluated after puberty stabilizes if significant psychological distress is present.
