Abdominoplasty

It is the surgical correction of sagging abdominal skin caused by weight gain or pregnancy. It can be done as a full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck. In full tummy tuck, the belly button is placed where it should be. In general, the skin and fat tissue in the lower part of the belly button are completely removed and the muscle tissue is repaired. If there is an increase in fat in the lateral areas of the abdomen, liposuction should be added and a waist gap should be provided. The incision is between the two pelvises to fit the cesarean section. Excess skin and adipose tissue are removed, usually 2 drains are placed. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes 3-5 hours. The patient stays in the hospital for 1-2 days. In the first ten days, he should take great care of himself. Abdominal movements can be somewhat painful. The operation scar is planned to be hidden under the underwear. Stitches are usually removed with stitches that are not removed.

If patients are smoking before the operation, they should quit smoking and blood thinners. They should definitely inform their doctors about their chronic diseases. The results are very pleasing. Patients can return to their normal lives after two weeks, but at least 6 weeks should be waited for sports.
