Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is one of the most popular aesthetic surgical procedures. This method, preferred by both women and men, helps eliminate excess skin, sagging, stretch marks, and fat in the abdominal area. If you can't achieve the desired results through diet and exercise, tummy tuck surgery can provide significant physical and psychological improvement.
Deformations that occur over time, particularly excess fat and skin in the abdominal area, can lead to a loss of self-confidence in some individuals. Factors such as pregnancy, weight gain and loss, or aging can cause sagging in the abdomen. Tummy tuck surgery is performed to correct these sagging issues and restore the abdominal muscles to their original form. As a result, a flatter, more toned appearance is achieved, and you will feel psychologically better.
Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours. Mini abdominoplasty, however, takes between 1 to 2 hours. The procedure starts with a horizontal skin incision made in the lower abdominal area. Excess skin and fat in the abdominal region are removed, and the abdominal wall muscles are sutured together to eliminate looseness. Additionally, a sagging belly button can be repositioned.
Liposuction may also be added to the tummy tuck procedure. This helps achieve a smoother and more aesthetic appearance.
The recovery process varies from person to person, but generally, the following points should be considered:
Drains: Drains are placed in the surgical area to prevent fluid buildup and are typically removed within 1 to 3 days.
Pain Management: Pain may occur in the first few days, but it can be easily managed with painkillers.
Corset Use: It is recommended to wear a corset for 2 months after surgery. This speeds up the recovery process and provides tension in the abdominal area.
Exercise and Activity: Heavy exercises should be avoided for the first 3 months. Additionally, when lying in bed, it is advised to sleep on your back with your legs slightly bent towards your abdomen.
Scars and Stitches: Showers should be avoided until the stitches are removed. The healing process can take 6 to 12 months, but with adherence to your doctor's advice, the scars will gradually fade and become less visible.
