Laser Tattoo Removal – Everything You Need To Know

Regardless of your diet or the amount you exercise, for some of us, the dreaded tummy ‘spare tyre’ also unflatteringly called, ‘muffin top’ can be a stubborn and depressing problem for both women and men.

There are a variety of reasons why a tummy can be persistently loose. A pregnancy, or substantial weight loss, as well as other medical and genetic reasons, can make it impossible to reduce excess skin and fat in the abdominal area.  A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in conjunction with liposculpting can be an effective procedure that removes persistent and unwanted excess skin and fat.

The Yummy Mummy Makeover – With a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is popular with both men and women, but it is mothers who are the largest cohort enjoying the benefits of this procedure. Multiple pregnancies can result in the separation of the rectus (abdominal) muscles and this can cause a weakening of your core, creating an unattractive tummy bulge. 

Specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Dilip Gahankari has vast experience in addressing this issue for mothers effectively. Often the Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) procedure is also accompanied with liposculpting, resulting in the best possible outcomes. It is recommended mothers plan for their tummy tuck surgery only when they know they won’t be having any more of those beautiful babies.

What are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty Procedure?

The reasons to have a tummy tuck – and the benefits of this procedure, vary widely. An abdominoplasty tightens muscles that may have become loose or split following pregnancy, the procedure can also remove excess skin from the abdomen for those that have lost substantial weight. It is important to realise that a tummy tuck is not a substitute to a healthy diet and exercise, but it can be a wonderful supplement for those that find this region of the body difficult to improve without surgical support.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Benefits Can Include:

  • The appearance of the abdomen to create a firmer, flatter and smoother profile.

  • Improvement to both the shape and the tone of the tummy area.

  • The restoration of any weakened or separated muscles.

  • Alleviation of any associated pain with separated muscles.

  • Improved stress incontinence caused by weak core-strength due to muscle separation.

  • Improvement of irritated skin and any skin infections caused by excess skin.

  • Possible reduction of some stretch marks (in the treated areas).

  • Reduction of lower backache caused by weakened core-strength due to muscle separation*. 

*A recently published multicentre Australian study of which Dr Dilip Gahankari has contributed to, has suggested possible benefits of improvement of stress incontinence and lower backache in post-pregnancy abdominoplasty.

What Does the Tummy Tuck Procedure (Abdominoplasty) Involve?

The abdominoplasty procedure involves an incision at the lower abdomen. Dr Dilip Gahankari also performs liposculpture during abdominoplasty procedures to further contour the tummy and the hip area, creating the best possible ‘sculptured’ results, while also reducing the length of the scar.

Tummy Tuck Recovery

It is important to know that we are all different and that includes how we recover from any surgery. Dr DilIp Gahankari will discuss your surgical options and recovery times at your initial consultation to give you a clearer idea of how long your recovery may take. 

As a rough guide, you can return to work and light exercise after three weeks, and to your normal life after six to eight weeks (but still avoiding anything strenuous effecting the abdominal wall). Again, fuller and more personalised details regarding this procedure will be explained to you by Dr Dilip Gahankari during your initial consultation.

Tummy Tuck Recovery Tips Include:

  • Prepare yourself, get excited and go into surgery in your best possible health – while maintaining a healthy weight prior to surgery.
  • Follow all the directions given to you by Dr Dilip Gahankari for your best recovery. 
  • Prepare in advance your transport, medication and any help required at home.
  • Take all medications as directed by Dr Dilip Gahankari.
  • Manage your expectations. Everyone is different but expect some discomfort. Know that the more you look after yourself in the pre-surgery and recovery period, the sooner you will be out and about, enjoying the results of your Tummy Tuck procedure.

How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost?

It is important to understand that everyone is different, including their physical circumstances, health and expectations. First, you will need a referral from your GP to see Dr Dilip Gahankari. During your initial consultation, the recommendations specific to you and the costs will be outlined and discussed.

Medicare or private fund benefits may be applicable for you, subject to your private fund’s coonditions and the fulfillment of the Medicare criteria for the Abdominoplasty procedure. Medicare will provide a modest rebate if you satisfy the weight loss criteria introduced in 2016 (see below). 

Does Medicare Cover a Tummy Tuck? 

To claim the Medicare item number (30177) for a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) procedure you will need to demonstrate a number of physical characteristics:

  • You have had significant weight loss defined as 5 BMI points or more (unrelated to pregnancy). 
  • For women this would mean a weight loss of at least 15kgs or more, without weight fluctuations for at least six months.
  • If you have a hernia which can be documented in an ultrasound – it can also assist in seeking coverage.
  • The level of excess skin is interfering with your daily living.
  • The use of non-surgical treatment for skin irritation caused by excess skin has failed to work for you.

Labiaplasty Surgery

For women, the ‘normal’ range of the labia minora (the inner lips of the vaginal opening) appearance is broad. For some women, the labia minora are longer and overly protrude beyond the length of the labia majora – the outer ‘lips’ of the of the opening of the vagina. 

For many women, their dislike of the appearance of their labia minora is a genuine issue. Some women also experience physical discomfort by simply wearing certain clothing. As well, some women also experience discomfort as well during intercourse. For these women and all these reasons, a Labiaplasty procedure may offer an extremely effective solution.

Why Choose a Labiaplasty Procedure?

While the appearance of the labia minor is different for every woman, age can also play a part in the appearance of the labia minor changing in shape and appearance. A vaginal delivery of a baby can also cause the appearance of the labia minor to change. 

While the impacts of age and vaginal birth to the labia minor are completely normal, however, for some women, these changes are not pleasing. The unwanted change of appearance or the side effects of discomfort, especially during sex can cause distress for many women.

A woman’s self-esteem is precious and something to be honoured. If something impacts a woman’s confidence and comfortability, choosing a safe and effective solution can be an empowering experience. It is worth knowing that the Labiaplasty surgical procedure has an extremely high rate of patient satisfaction.

Your Labiaplasty Pre-Surgery Consultation

In your initial pre-surgery consultation, Dr Dilip will discuss the various procedural options with you and outline the best procedure to suit your individual needs and expectations. Please know that there is absolutely no need to feel embarrassed in discussing this procedure as Dr Dilip has many years of successfully performing the labiaplasty surgery.

It is important for those women who are considering this surgery that the Labiaplasty procedure does not tighten the vagina or increase sexual stimulation. The Labiaplasty procedure can however decrease sexual and emotional distress and any discomfort that may be caused by an enlarged or an abnormally shaped labia minora.

What is the Labiaplasty Procedure?

There are a range of different labiaplasty procedures, so it is very important that you only choose a specialised and qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr Dilip Gahankari who has decades of experience in reconstructive plastic surgery. Dr Dilip will discuss the best procedural techniques for your individual needs.

Labiaplasty is not an overly complex surgery, but it is still a delicate surgery that requires qualified and skilled hands and vast, relevant experience. Labiaplasty surgery is essentially a cosmetic reduction of the labia minor, though this may additionally involve some reshaping of the labia minor. 

The Labiaplasty procedure is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Dr Dilip will discuss with you the appropriate care that you will require, including the type of anaesthesia and if a hospital stay is required. All this will be discussed in detail in your initial consultation with Dr Dilip Gahankari.

Recovery after Labiaplasty

A good recovery from any surgery hinges on going into surgery – in your best possible health. Be sure to be a committed non-smoker and avoid any excess alcohol in the weeks leading up to your surgery. It is also important to eat and rest well in the leadup to your surgery. Additionally, you may find it helpful to prepare in advance any assistance you may require after surgery, including childcare. 

As with any plastic surgery, there will be a certain level of discomfort after the surgery. You can expect the area around the labia to be uncomfortable for a couple of days after surgery. However, Dr Dilip will ensure that your pain is well managed with the appropriate pain medication to ensure that you are comfortable as possible after your Labiaplasty surgery. 

After Labiaplasty surgery it is important that you refrain from sex and the use of tampons for at least six weeks. This will give you the best chance to heal the delicate labia region after surgery.  Light physical duties and walking can generally be resumed after two to six days, depending on your level of discomfort. 

It is also important to wear loose clothing for obvious reasons. All these points will be discussed in detail prior to surgery with Dr Dilip and his staff. Dr Dilip’s supporting staff will always be on hand to assist you at every step of your recovery journey. You can expect to resume to normal daily activities, usually within three weeks after surgery. All stiches used for this procedure are absorbable.

Labiaplasty Before and After

Prior to your labiaplasty surgery you would have discussed the desired size and shape of the labia minor with Dr Dilip. You can expect to see the results immediately after surgery – though there will be swelling and incisions that will be healing. For most women, the final results will be fully and happily evident after a healthy healing period of approximately two months.

Scars are always present after any invasive surgery. A skilled and qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr Dilip will minimise any visible scars with incision placement in easily hidden sites. Any scars will naturally improve with time, resulting in a more pleasing looking labia minor, that is also more comfortable physically and emotionally.

Cost of Labiaplasty Australia

The cost of your Labiaplasty surgery will depend on the procedure, or the combination of techniques involved in your particular surgery. Dr Dilip Gahankari and the staff will go through the full costs with you in advance, including the cost of your hospital stay (if required) and your anaesthetist. 

Choosing a Qualified and Experienced Labiaplasty Plastic Surgeon

Dr Dilip Gahankari is a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Fellows of The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). The Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) is fully accredited by the Australian Medical Council which is the only body authorised by the Commonwealth Government to certify all medical training. 

Only genuine plastic surgeons in Australia are members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons or ASPS.
