Abdominoplasty

Lean body after liposuction procedure

Deformations can occur in the abdominal area due to excessive weight gain, excessive enlargement during pregnancy and aging due to loss of elasticity and shape. When making a surgical decision, factors such as the quality of the abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue, its elasticity, the sagging and the condition of the stretch marks, the absence of your abdominal muscles and the surrounding membrane structure are assessed. Taking these factors into account, you decide again which of the mini surgeries or tummy tucks are more suitable. During these operations, the excess of your abdominal skin is removed, your abdominal muscles and the membrane under the skin are pulled closer together, creating a taut abdomen again. If the classic tummy tuck method is planned, the navel is attached to its new position. Your tummy tuck can be done with liposuction (liposuction) to help shape your abdomen and waist area.

When should I be operated on?

When weight loss is complete, there is no other pregnancy plan and you have reached your ideal weight, it is the right time to have surgery. So that we can give you a permanent and beautiful shape, there must be no excess weight. When you exercise, you can get the perfect result.

The phase before the operation

Before the operation, examinations are carried out and the presence of hernia findings and the enlargement in the abdominal area are checked. In this case it may be necessary to apply a patch to the abdominal wall to support the operation. Since the operation is carried out under general anesthesia, pre-operative tests are evaluated by the anesthetist and the preparations for the operation are completed.

The phase after the operation

The operation takes 3-5 hours. During this operation, your abdominal skin is raised and the excess is removed and stretched. In the meantime, most stretch marks in the area below the abdomen are removed. At the same time, the membrane surrounding the stomach under the skin is brought closer together. This tightening contributes to a flatter, more fit appearance of the abdomen. With the classic tummy tuck, the navel is placed in its new position, with the mini tummy tuck the position of the navel is not changed. In general, we place drains, called drains, that allow the fluid inside to be drained during the operation and removed the day after the operation. The next day, the drains are removed, which will then release you home. It is important that you wear a special abdominal corset for about a month and go slightly inclined for the first 10 days to relieve tension. Since we use subcutaneously absorbable sutures, your sutures are not removed. Although strenuous exercises should be restricted for a month, you can start your walks right away. Your surgical sutures are located in the lower area of the abdomen and around the navel and can be hidden in your underwear. After about 10 days, creams are used to reduce the clarity of the scars. It is important to protect the operating area from the sun with sunscreen for the first 6 months.
