Opening the incisions
The size of the incision will be determined by the amount of excess skin. The underlying weakened abdominal muscles will be repaired after the abdominal skin lift.
Closure of the incisions
Stitches, skin adhesives, tape or clips will be used to close the skin incisions.
Result
After the abdominoplasty, which will be proportional to your body type and your weight, you will have a flat and firmer belly.
What can I expect after the operation?
The abdominoplasty is performed in the operating room of a fully equipped hospital. During the operation, you will be anesthetized so that you do not feel any pain during the operation.
To get realistic results, you should consult your doctor in detail about the tummy tuck surgery.
What should I do after the surgery?
You will be required to wear a compression corset to keep your tummy tight and to reduce swelling. You should rest in the days following your treatment, but you can take short walks without tiring yourself. These will speed up your blood circulation and help you recover quickly.
Typically, patients can return to work after two weeks. However, if your work involves physical activity, you should abstain from it. The doctor will constantly control your recovery
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the abdominoplasty operation performed?
There are two types of surgery: full abdominoplasty and mini tummy tuck. If the part requiring surgery is in the upper abdomen and the location of the navel changes, a full tummy tuck is performed. The abdominal skin is removed from both the upper and lower abdomen and the excess skin is cut from the body. In mini tummy tuck, the lower part of the abdomen is treated through liposuction or laser lipolysis applied to the skin. The surgery lasts between 2 to 4 hours.
Can I get rid of a hernia problem with a tummy tuck?
If you have a hernia problem due to previous pregnancies or other causes in the abdomen or stomach, it can be treated during the tummy tuck procedure.
When will I fully recover my daily life after a tummy tuck?
You will be able to walk slowly with a companion 3 to 4 hours after the tummy tuck operation. However, this operation requires overnight hospitalization. You will return to normal life within 10 to 15 days.
Will there be scars on my stomach after this operation?
This operation is designed to meet the curves of the body and to stay under the underwear. The doctor will perform the incision in a way that it is indistinguishable as the body's natural line.
Is it a painful operation?
General anesthesia is applied during a tummy tuck so that you do not feel pain.
