Abdominoplasty Surgery✦ in Pune
(Tummy Tuck, Diastasis Recti Repair & Mommy Makeover)
Full & Mini Abdominoplasty with Rectus Muscle Plication (Diastasis Recti Repair) & Neo-Umbilicoplasty
Pregnancy, significant weight fluctuations, and natural aging often stretch the abdominal skin envelope and weaken the underlying abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis), causing a persistent bulging belly or hanging apron of skin that no amount of diet or core exercise can flatten.
Operated by Dr. Chintan Gujarathi (MCh Plastic Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital Fellow) at accredited tertiary centers (Ruby Hall Clinic, Sassoon Rd & Manipal Hospital Kharadi), utilizing sub-millimeter precision, concealed micro-incisions, and advanced tissue-handling for natural, permanent outcomes.

Your Healing Journey & Care Guide✦
A straightforward clinical guide to what to expect and how to care for your results.
Hospital Monitoring & Early Ambulation
Supervised care at Ruby Hall Clinic or Manipal Hospital. Patients walk gently with a slight forward flex to protect the incision on Day 1.
Sleep with pillows under your knees and back in a "beach chair" position to keep tension off the abdominal suture line.
Drains Removal & Gradual Upright Posture
Mild tightness improves daily. Drains are comfortably removed at your first clinic visit. You will begin standing fully upright.
Wear your custom abdominal binder snugly 24/7 to provide core stability and reduce swelling.
Return to Desk Work & Normal Routine
Swelling subsides noticeably. Most patients comfortably drive and return to office desk jobs and light social gatherings.
Start applying medical scar silicone gel once incisions are completely sealed for optimal flat scar maturation.
Full Core Strength & Athletic Profile
Abdominal wall is tight, flat, and firm. Scar line fades progressively into a thin pale line. Total confidence in swimwear.
Protect your bikini scar from direct UV sun exposure with SPF 50+ to ensure ideal long-term scar blending.
Recommended Best Practices (Do's)
- Wear your prescribed medical abdominal compression binder consistently for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Walk slightly bent forward during the first 5 to 7 days to prevent tension on the lower abdominal incision.
- Take regular gentle walks around your home from Day 1 to promote circulation and prevent leg stiffness.
- Eat a high-protein, fiber-rich diet and drink plenty of fluids to avoid constipation and straining.
- Follow Dr. Gujarathi’s scar care protocol using silicone sheets or gel starting at Week 3.
Precautions & Safeguards (Don'ts)
- Do not lift heavy weights (> 5 kg), perform vigorous exercise, or do core crunches for 6 weeks.
- Do not sleep flat on your stomach or back without knee support during the first 2 weeks.
- Do not smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, as nicotine severely impedes skin flap vascularity and healing.
- Do not submerge the incision in bathtubs, swimming pools, or hot tubs until cleared by Dr. Gujarathi.
- Do not skip scheduled dressing changes and follow-up consultations at Ruby Hall or Manipal Hospital.
