Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgeries are usually performed in cases where, in addition to fat deposition in the abdomen area, relaxation in the abdominal muscles and the opening between them occur together.
As sagging and disfigurement of the abdomen due to pregnancy might occur, so does excessive weight gain and loss might cause this. Having abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery after a diet provides a more effective result. If, as a result of the patient's weight loss process, there is still stubborn fat in the abdominal area that does not go away with diet and exercise, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery can be performed.
Many methods can be used together in abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) operations; after the excess fat tissues in the abdomen are removed with liposuction, the excess skin is also removed. In addition to these, the expanding anterior wall of the abdomen is narrowed and the abdominal muscles is tightened. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), surgeries can take between two and five hours, depending on the size of the operation.
In abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgeries, if the deformity in the abdomen has spread to the upper part of the belly button, full tummy tuck surgery is performed. In this type of surgery, an incision is made that will remain in the underwear line. However, in full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgeries, an incision is made in this area as the belly button is repositioned after recovery.
Mini abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) operations are performed only due to loss of elasticity, saggy skin and cracks in the lower part of the belly. If there is too much fat in the abdomen, it would be appropriate to perform a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. In mini abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery, the skin under the belly is stretched.

When the patient is in the operating room when the operation is over, you will be dressed in a corset. By using a corset for a while, the abdominal region will be shaped. The aches and sores that may occur after the surgery are not severe and it can be relieved by painkillers. The patient is usually discharged after an overnight stay in the hospital. You can return to your normal life a few weeks after the surgery. The red tone of the incision mark remaining in your underwear line will turn pink in the first days after the operation, and then it will become vague.
