TUMMY TUCK
Abdominal stretching is the operation of removing excess fat and skin tissue in the abdominal region of the person and strengthening and tightening the loosened abdominal muscles at the bottom.
This surgery also corrects the cracks in the abdomen. If necessary, the contours are corrected by performing liposuction on the waist area. The result is a flat stomach.
The most suitable candidates are male or female patients with ideal or near-ideal weight who have normal expectations after surgery.
In order to perform tummy tuck surgery, the following conditions must be met.
- Sagging and excess of the skin of the abdomen
- Swollen abdomen that protrudes forward
- Abdominal muscle laxity due to pregnancy or weight gain
- Losing the contour of the waist shadow or losing its shape
- Having significant fat tissue in the abdomenAfter abdominoplasty, you will have a firm and flat stomach with improved contours. In order to maintain this, regular sports, weight control and healthy life should be your goal.In standard tummy tuck surgery, the scar is in the bikini area. It lies between the two pelvises. The length of the incision may vary depending on the tissue to be removed. A second incision is around the belly button. If a small amount of tissue is to be removed and a belly button incision is not made, mini abdominoplasty would be appropriate. In either case, the scars will remain inside your underwear. Your scars will fade and lose their clarity within 6 months.OPERATIONAbdominoplasty is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia. After the operation, you need to stay under control in the hospital for 1-2 nights.
Most patients return to their daily activities within 10 days. After the operation, you should avoid heavy activities for 6 weeks.The risk of complications is very low. What matters are the risks you will be told and the benefits you will gain. All information will be given to you in your consultation with our doctor.
