Why is a tummy tuck commonly included in mommy makeover surgery?

#

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), removes hanging loose skin, and tightens the core, performed with hidden low bikini-line scars by Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.

Clinical Pathology & Literature Context

Pregnancy stretches the abdominal linea alba, causing the paired rectus abdominis muscles to separate laterally—a condition called diastasis recti that produces a persistent postpartum bulge and lower back pain. Exercise cannot knit this stretched fascial gap back together. Dr. Vishal Purohit performs a full abdominoplasty, utilizing double-layer non-absorbable looped nylon sutures to plicate the rectus sheath firmly from the xiphoid to the pubic symphysis, restoring core stability. He utilizes Pollock progressive tension sutures (PTS) to quilt the abdominal flap down, eliminating dead space and allowing a drainless recovery with under 2% seroma risk. Lower abdominal stretch marks are excised with the excess skin.

Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol

Patients walk slightly flexed on day one and stand fully upright by day 10 to 14. Abdominal binders are worn for six weeks. Gym workouts resume at eight weeks. Consult Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.

Will my abdominal muscles become tight after a tummy tuck?

#

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), removes hanging loose skin, and tightens the core, performed with hidden low bikini-line scars by Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.

Clinical Pathology & Literature Context

Pregnancy stretches the abdominal linea alba, causing the paired rectus abdominis muscles to separate laterally—a condition called diastasis recti that produces a persistent postpartum bulge and lower back pain. Exercise cannot knit this stretched fascial gap back together. Dr. Vishal Purohit performs a full abdominoplasty, utilizing double-layer non-absorbable looped nylon sutures to plicate the rectus sheath firmly from the xiphoid to the pubic symphysis, restoring core stability. He utilizes Pollock progressive tension sutures (PTS) to quilt the abdominal flap down, eliminating dead space and allowing a drainless recovery with under 2% seroma risk. Lower abdominal stretch marks are excised with the excess skin.

Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol

Patients walk slightly flexed on day one and stand fully upright by day 10 to 14. Abdominal binders are worn for six weeks. Gym workouts resume at eight weeks. Consult Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.
