Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck corrects the laxity of the abdominal skin!

Abdominoplasty and similar procedures are increasingly chosen in today’s fast-paced life where we all seek immediate and long-lasting results in the shortest possible time! Plastic surgeries are thus gaining popularity, and one of these is abdominoplasty!

What it offers:

Reshaping of the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat
Elimination of stretch marks if present on the skin that will be removed
Correction and tightening of the abdominal muscles where needed
Repositioning, where needed, of the umbilicus in a position and manner reminiscent of a youthful appearance
If there is an indication for combining it with liposuction, it achieves sculpting of the fat distribution

The result of the procedure is the toning of the abdominal muscles and the youthful, healthy appearance of the abdomen.

Who is abdominoplasty for?

It is addressed to both women and men. Women choose it after multiple pregnancies or weight loss, excess skin, and fat in the lower abdomen are removed. Men, on the other hand, usually opt for it after weight loss! There are many types of abdominoplasty (classic, mini, circumferential, reverse, etc.). Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 2-3 hours.

Hospitalization duration: 1 day. Mild pain, swelling, and discomfort are the most common postoperative complaints lasting 1-8 weeks. Symptoms in the abdominal area are observed for 1-2 months. Oral antibiotics and painkillers are recommended. Immediate mobilization is essential.

Drains are removed on the 2nd-5th postoperative day. Stitches are removed in 12-14 days, and return to work is possible in 7-14 days. Return to exercise takes 1-2 months and depends on the type of exercise. The final result is achieved in 3 months.
