Why is this surgery performed?

Abdominoplasty is a surgery that allows the removal of sagging or loosened excess skin and fat tissue in the abdomen, which occurs due to the relaxation of the abdominal muscles after childbirth or as a result of excessive weight gain and loss, and allows the abdominal muscles to reach their former tension. With abdominoplasty surgery, liposuction can be applied to thin the abdomen, back and waist area.

Are there types of abdominoplasty?

Yes, it can be done in various ways. Mini-abdominoplasty is performed only for people with mild cracks and sagging in the lower abdomen, and full abdominoplasty for extremely cracked and sagging abdomens. In the full abdominoplasty operation, the navel is relocated and regulated, while the navel is not touched in mini abdominoplasty. The tummy tuck scar will be under the underwear.

How is the post-operative period?

The duration of the operation may vary depending on the choice of surgery and the condition of the patient. After the surgery, the pain depends on the pain threshold of the person, but more pain is felt in the first 3 days, then it decreases and disappears over time. After the operation, 2 nights of hospitalization is sufficient. It is necessary to wear a corset for 4-6 weeks after the operation. Depending on the patient's condition, it may be necessary to take a break from heavy work and sports for 1-3 months.
