Tummy Tuck Surgery in Thane, Mumbai — Mini Tummy Tuck & Full Abdominoplasty

Tummy tuck surgery in Thane suits you if you’re physically healthy at a stable weight, you don’t smoke, and you’re bothered by loose abdominal skin or muscle separation — particularly after pregnancy or significant weight loss. At our cosmetic surgery clinic in Thane, Dr. Sameer Karkhanis assesses each patient individually to confirm suitability before any procedure is planned.

Before your tummy tuck surgery in Thane, you’ll go through a pre-operative assessment at CCRS — Thane’s accredited cosmetic surgery facility. Expect lab testing, a medication review, and a clear stop-smoking instruction — ideally 4 to 6 weeks before surgery. Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements all increase bleeding risk and must be stopped in advance. Dr. Karkhanis will walk you through the full protocol at your consultation.

A full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) at CCRS Thane’s surgical centre involves a horizontal incision just above the pubic area, running hip to hip. Dr. Karkhanis lifts the skin, repairs separated abdominal muscles, removes excess tissue, and repositions the belly button for a natural result. The procedure takes 4 to 5 hours under general anaesthesia.

A mini tummy tuck targets only the lower abdomen. The incision is smaller, the belly button stays in place, and recovery is faster — typically 5 to 7 days. Good option if your concerns are limited to the area below the navel.

After tummy tuck surgery in Thane, you’ll wear a compression garment for 2 weeks to 2 months — Dr. Karkhanis will specify the exact duration at your follow-up at CCRS Thane. Your incision stays covered with a surgical dressing. Report any unusual swelling, severe pain, or discharge to our team immediately.

A temporary drain under the skin prevents fluid buildup and gets removed once accumulation stops. You’ll be prescribed oral antibiotics and painkillers — take them as directed, don’t skip doses.

Recovery from tummy tuck surgery in Thane takes roughly 3 months for most patients to feel fully back to normal. The bulk of the healing happens in the first 2 weeks — but strenuous activity, weight lifting, running, and sports need a 6-week pause minimum. Plan your schedule accordingly. At our body contouring centre in Thane, the nursing team tracks your recovery at every follow-up visit to keep healing on schedule.

Tummy tuck risks include:

• Bleeding
• Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications
• Fatty tissue found deep in the skin might die (fat necrosis)
• Fluid accumulation (seroma)
• Numbness or other changes in skin sensation
• Persistent pain
• Poor wound healing & possibility of revisional surgery
• Recurrent looseness of skin
• Skin discoloration and/or prolonged swelling & skin loss
• Suboptimal aesthetic result
• Unfavorable scarring
  At CCRS — Thane’s dedicated plastic surgery facility, Dr. Karkhanis’s surgical protocols and post-operative monitoring are specifically designed to keep these risks minimal. Serious complications are rare in our practice.
