Who is a suitable candidate for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?

An ideal candidate is an individual with stretched, loose abdominal skin and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)—often due to pregnancy or significant weight loss—which cannot be corrected by diet and exercise alone. Candidates should be at a stable weight and in good overall health. A tummy tuck is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss solution.

Can liposuction and tummy tuck be combined into a single surgery?

Yes, liposuction is routinely combined with a tummy tuck (a procedure called lipoabdominoplasty) to contour the flanks and upper abdomen while removing loose skin. However, to ensure patient safety and optimal tissue healing, Dr. Bharathi assesses each patient's systemic health and body mass index. Staging the procedures is recommended if the total surgical volume or time exceeds safe limits.

What is a mommy makeover, and which procedures does it typically include?

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of surgeries designed to restore a woman's body after childbirth and breastfeeding. It typically addresses the breasts and abdomen simultaneously, combining a breast lift or breast augmentation with a tummy tuck and liposuction of the flanks. Each plan is tailored to the patient's individual anatomical changes and recovery goals.

What is gynecomastia correction, and how is it performed?

Gynecomastia correction treats enlarged male breast tissue. Dr. Bharathi performs this using a combined approach: liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue, and a direct gland excision through a semi-circular incision around the lower border of the areola to remove tough glandular tissue. This double-modality approach ensures a flat, masculine chest contour with minimal, well-concealed scars.

What is the recovery timeline for major body contouring surgeries?

Most patients return to light activity and desk work within ten to fourteen days. A specialized compression garment must be worn continuously for six weeks to reduce swelling, support the contours, and help the skin adhere to the new shape. Strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and abdominal straining must be strictly avoided for six weeks.
