Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty is a great solution for the recovery of bad appearance and sagging caused by weight loss, postpartum or other reasons. Commonly performed simultaneously with liposuction, which is an important surgical method for body shaping. Disorders such as hernia and muscle separation in the patient during the surgery are obviated. With tummy tuck surgery (Abdominoplasty), the enlarged anterior wall of the abdomen is narrowed, loosened, and enlarged abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess sagging abdominal skin is removed along with fat. Abdominoplasty’s duration can vary between 2 and 5 hours depending on the patient's condition.

Surgery starts with an incision 8-10 cm below the navel, similar to a cesarean incision, which will be hidden inside the underwear. If the navel is to be relocated, a second incision is made around the navel for transferring the navel. After the surgery, the incision is closed with a hidden suture under the skin and covered with a dressing. A drain is placed on the patient so that the fluid to be collected in the area does not flow under the skin. Drains are removed on the 2nd day. Right after the tummy tuck surgery, the patient is dressed in a suitable corset in the operating room. The corset is crucial for the recovery of the patient and is should be used for about 8-10 weeks.
