During Abdominoplasty

After pregnancy or weight loss, abdominal and muscle deterioration may occur. This causes a deformation of the skin in the abdominal area.

After pregnancy, the tissue that forms the abdominal wall shakes, causing abdominal swelling. The separation of the abdominal muscles by the pressure of the internal organs of the body makes the abdomen saggy and saggy. Therefore, the most effective solution to get rid of excess fat and loose skin is a tummy tuck method. Tummy tuck procedure, depending on the techniques applied in Turkey takes about 1.5-5 hours.

You will be under general anesthesia when the doctor will make an approximately 8-10 cm incision in the abdomen under the belly button and under the underwear.

There will be a scar in this area due to the incision, but it can be easily hidden because it will be under underwear.

Abdominoplasty Techniques

Liposuction with abdominoplasty in Turkey, breast and uterine and ovarian surgery, surgery can be performed. The method applied is chosen according to the elasticity of the skin, the degree of sagging and the amount of abdominal muscles. There are two ways to run the process:

• Full Abdominoplasty: The incision and excess skin are removed from under the belly button, the taut abdominal muscles are tightened and the belly button shape is corrected if deformed. In addition, excess fat in the abdomen and waist is removed.
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Mini tummy tuck surgery is a simpler procedure and is applied to those who have no signs of sagging in the abdominal skin. Only the skin and excess fat are removed from the lower abdomen. If necessary, the abdominal muscles can also be tightened.

Abdominoplasty and Pregnancy
