Abdominoplasty is one of the treatment methods that have been started to be applied as a result of the developments in medicine in recent years for individuals who have excess fat in the abdomen, excess skin, sagging, and similar problems for various reasons. Although it can be seen in both genders, looseness and sagging in the abdominal region, which is frequently seen especially in women and in the post-pregnancy period, can be stretched and given a smooth appearance with the help of a simple operation applied with aesthetic surgery methods. In this way, the sagging skin appearance is eliminated, excess fat is removed and the abdominal region is flattened, especially the cracks in the part below the belly button are eliminated.

Abdominoplasty, also called abdominoplasty, is a kind of plastic surgery operation. It is one of the most effective methods among the types of surgery applied in the fields of abdominal and belly aesthetics. Especially after the pregnancy period, the muscles and skin in the abdominal region cannot return to their original form. As a result, deformations occur in the abdominal area and the sagging belly causes an aesthetically unpleasant appearance. The level of deformation is much higher in pregnancies resulting in excessive weight gain and in women who have given birth to more than two. After pregnancy, an undesirable appearance occurs with the loosening of the connective tissue in the abdominal wall, the protrusion of the abdominal wall, the appearance of bloating, abundance, and cracks in the abdomen. It is often not possible to destroy this appearance and regain the old appearance of the abdominal region with methods such as sports and diet that the person can apply himself. In tummy tuck surgery, which solves this problem with a single operation, the loosened and sagging abdominal skin is recovered and the excess fat concentrated in this area is removed, allowing the person to have a flat stomach in a short time. As with any operation, there are some risks of complications that may occur after abdominal stretching. Bleeding and infection are the most important of these. For this reason, medications given by the physician should be used after surgery, avoid sudden movements and dressings should be renewed regularly.

Loosening and sagging of the abdominal skin occur in people who have lost a great deal of weight. Even in people of normal size and average weight, some excess, looseness, and sagging may occur in the abdomen. The most important reasons for this situation are; genetic characteristics, multiple pregnancies, previous surgical procedures, and weight changes. Abdominoplasty, which involves removing the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue and tightening the muscles, corrects the sagging of the abdominal region aesthetically.

If you want to achieve a tighter and flatter abdomen, tummy tuck surgery will be the most suitable solution for you. Tummy tuck allows the removal of excess fat and excess skin. In some cases, it may be necessary to repair loosened and dissociated muscles. This process provides a flatter, stretched abdomen appearance.

You can get pregnant after abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty does not affect birth. However, for women who want to have children in a short time, it will be the most rational decision to postpone this surgery. If you smoke, you should know that reducing or even quitting smoking is the best decision to get the best results after the operation. Since smoking reduces blood flow by narrowing the vessels in our body, a slow and poor recovery will occur. Some pain relievers, such as aspirin, should be stopped a few weeks before surgery as they may increase bleeding. A physical examination will reveal whether you are a good candidate for this surgery. It should not be forgotten that abdominoplasty is not a direct weight-loss operation, it is a correction of body contours.

Don’t worry, 60% of new mothers have muscle separation problems. Diastasis Recti, the separation of the diamond muscles in the abdomen, is common among women who have just given birth. By the end of the pregnancy period, women are observed to have between 9 cm and 35 cm of flexibility in their abdomen. This growth in the abdominal area causes the abdominal muscles to split or rupture. Surgical intervention is required for this deformation in the abdominal muscles. Diastasis Recti problem causes urinary incontinence, sagging and abdominal bloating in women. With full tummy tuck aesthetics, this deformation in the abdomen is treated and the abdominal muscles are sutured to ensure that mothers regain their former health.

Tummy tuck surgery is an operation that must be applied in the hospital. General anesthesia should be preferred. Sedation can be applied for a mini tummy tuck. Which operation is suitable and the details of the procedure to be performed on you are determined as a result of your consultation with your doctor. Tummy tuck surgery takes 4-6 hours depending on the size of the sagging area. An incision line is often made that can be hidden under underwear and remains 8-10 cm below the navel. If necessary, the belly button is redesigned. The sagging skin is cut and removed from the body. Excess regional fat is pulled out. A second incision is made to transfer the belly button around the navel. The abdominal skin is stretched from top to bottom and the surgery is completed by sewing. A special corset suitable for the patient is put on immediately after the operation.

You can safely have a second tummy tuck surgery 1 year after your previous surgery. But in this second surgery, if you want to have your fat removed, we remind you that very limited fat can be removed from the abdomen and waist region in this surgery.

Since this area has been removed from the floor in the surgery performed with the previous classical technique, the blood circulation is considered below normal and abrasive procedures such as fat removal are not performed if possible.

Your abdominoplasty scar can be easily hidden in underwear. The thin pink line will gradually become white. By using scar creams and silicone bands recommended by your doctor, you can make the abdominal surgery scar as less obvious as possible.
