Tummy Tuck
A Detailed Guide to Tummy Tuck Surgery in Turkey
The tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty surgery, covers all procedures to recover the sagging abdomen and belly area, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
In classical abdominoplasty surgeries, the aesthetic appearance of the sagging and deformed area in the sub-belly area is restored. In the Tummy Tuck technique, the abdomen, waist, and groin are shaped. Especially when it comes to fat in these areas, laser lipolysis, laser liposuction, liposuction, thinning, and shaping can be combined with the tummy tuck process to achieve very satisfactory results.
Step by Step Guide to Tummy Tuck Surgery and Recovery
Tummy Tuck surgery is not a weight-loss procedure. During Tummy tuck surgery, only stubborn fatty tissues in this area are removed.
Tummy tuck surgery lasts 2 to 3 hours depending on the size and width of the abdomen and is performed under general anesthesia. In abdominal stretching, the skin is separated from the abdominal wall up to the lower part of the ribs. The surgeon will repair the looseness in the abdominal muscles, making it a flat stomach and the waist narrow. Excess skin is removed by pulling the skin down. Your medical team will help you walk as early as the first day after a tummy tuck to help prevent blood clots from forming. You will wear a supportive abdominal suit (abdominal binder) for about six weeks after the tummy tuck. This outfit helps prevent fluid buildup and provides abdominal support while healing.
During the first six weeks after a tummy tuck surgery, you need to be careful when moving. You also need to avoid positions that force your incision line, such as fast bending at the waist, to prevent the wound from reopening. It can take 2-3 weeks for you to feel the same.
Tummy tuck surgery can give your stomach a more toned and thinner appearance by removing excess skin and fat and strengthening your abdominal wall.
For tummy tuck surgery to be long-lasting, you must have a stable diet to maintain your weight.
