Tummy tuck surgery is an aesthetic operation that enables the abdominal area of people who cannot get the desired result with methods such as sports and diet for problems such as excess fat, excess skin and sagging in their body. In the operation, excess fat and skin are removed and the abdominal area is flattened.
Abdominoplasty can be performed on both men and women. It can be preferred both for excess weight and to eliminate the disinformation caused by the rapid loss of excess weight.

Abdominoplasty surgery can solve your problems in the following cases, whether you need this surgery and what kind of result will be obtained are explained in detail after the examination by our doctor.
Abdominoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthesia, but if the patient has a special condition, it may be necessary to perform it under local anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is mostly recommended for mini tummy tuck surgery. Since it will be performed under anaesthesia, the patient will not feel pain during the operation.
Tummy tuck surgery can be performed as full tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck surgery:
In the procedures performed with full tummy tuck surgery, a surgical incision extending in the bikini area and a slight incision around the belly button is also made. Since the excess in both the upper and lower abdomen is removed with this operation, it is preferred after pregnancy and in patients with high weight loss.
Mini tummy tuck surgery is performed through a short surgical incision. It is effective in deformations such as sagging and stretch marks below the belly button. Therefore, it is preferred only in patients with deformations in the lower abdomen. In mini tummy tuck operation, the incision areas will remain below the bikini area.
Abdominoplasty is a frequently performed surgery today. There are some points to be considered.
As in every aesthetic operation, the person must fully explain his complaints and expectations with the doctor before tummy tuck surgery.

With tummy tuck surgery, you will have a flat and firm abdomen. The patient needs to be hospitalised for one or two days. We want patients from abroad to stay in Turkey for 1 week and we want the first controls to be done by us.
Postoperative bandages will be removed in 1-2 weeks and stitches will be removed over time.
We recommend people to use a corset for 4 weeks after the operation.
After tummy tuck surgery, we recommend hospitalisation for one or two days and then 1-2 patients rest. If the person wishes, he/she can return to work and social life after 7-10 days, but should stay away from physical work and exercise that requires strength for 2-3 weeks.
As with all surgeries, there are some risks in tummy tuck surgery. However, thanks to today's advanced health services and operating theatres equipped with advanced technologies, these risks are not common. In order to avoid the related risks, the patient is informed about the relevant risks before the operation.
After the operation, the scars are initially prominent. During the healing process, the scar decreases and becomes invisible at the end of the year. Care is taken to ensure that the incisions made in the operation remain especially in the bikini area and the scars remain in a position that cannot be seen with underwear and bikini. Thus, a very good aesthetic appearance is provided after the operation.
Abdominoplasty does not have any effect on pregnancy. If the person becomes pregnant again after the operation, there may be fat and disinformations in the abdominal area of the person after birth, and the person may want to have abdominoplasty again.
Abdominoplasty surgery may take 2-5 hours depending on the procedures performed. The duration varies depending on the area and technique of the procedures and whether procedures such as liposuction are performed.
Swelling may occur after the operation. These swellings will disappear spontaneously within 7-10 days after the operation.
A 2nd tummy tuck surgery can be performed. It is recommended to wait 1 year between two operations.
Like all surgeries, there are risks in tummy tuck surgery. These risks include anaesthesia-related risks, fluid accumulation in the operation area, blood clots, poor wound healing, and precautions such as postoperative drainage, antibiotic use, and corset use reduce these risks.
After tummy tuck surgery, a scar is formed that can be hidden under the bikini area. These scars are removed very well with scar removal creams and silicone tapes recommended by your doctor and their prominence is reduced.
Abdominoplasty is performed on people over the age of 18.
Thanks to the painkillers given after the operation, the possible pain that may occur will not disturb you.
It may be recommended to wear a corset according to the patient's condition. Wearing a corset between 4-6 weeks is important to get the best result.
As after every surgical operation, antibiotics recommended by the doctor should be used for inflammation that may occur after abdominoplasty.
Light exercises can be performed 3 weeks after the operation and extensive sports can be performed 6 weeks after the operation. You can determine the sports weight in consultation with your doctor according to the recovery status.
You can get pregnant after tummy tuck surgery if you wish. However, if you are considering pregnancy immediately after the operation, it is recommended to postpone the operation until after pregnancy, as there may be cracks and sagging in the abdomen again as a result of pregnancy.
Abdominoplasty is not performed during breastfeeding. It is recommended that tummy tuck surgery be performed one year after birth, as it will not affect breastfeeding and some of the weight gained during pregnancy will be lost.
Since sexual intercourse may require physical performance and strain, it is recommended not to be performed for 3-4 weeks after surgery.
Liposuction and some minor operations can be performed with tummy tuck surgery.
