What is Tummy Tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery is a surgical procedure in which excess fat and sagging skin in the front of the abdomen are removed and the abdominal muscles are stretched. Generally, these stretch marks are seen in sudden weight changes and pregnancy. The aim of tummy tuck surgery is to remove stretch marks, remove abdominal fat and restore the abdominal area to its ideal appearance after surgery. The duration of tummy tuck surgery varies between 2 and 4 hours. The stitches of the operated patient are removed in 10-15 days depending on the healing process.
Treatment Process
The procedure can vary from person to person, but in general;
Who Can Have Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Full tummy tuck surgery is applied to people who have experienced excessive weight change or who have given birth. If the patient has excess skin on the upper side of the belly button, and if there is a fold on the lower side of the belly button that he can hold with his hand while sitting, this patient is suitable for tummy tuck surgery. People who are not extremely obese for tummy tuck surgery, those whose abdominal fat does not melt despite diet and sports, those who have sagging, loosening and cracks in the abdominal area after weight loss, those who have a large abdomen even if they have not given birth, those who have sagging, loosening and cracking due to pregnancy, those who have fat in the abdominal area although their body is in aesthetic dimensions are suitable for tummy tuck surgery. People who do not have health problems that prevent tummy tuck surgery can easily undergo tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty). If the patient does not have excess skin, has only a little fat, and the abdominal wall has loosened due to childbirth and weight change, endoscopic tummy tuck surgery is preferred.
Will I Feel Pain During Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Abdominoplasty is not a painful operation. During tummy tuck surgery, local anesthesia is applied to all incisions and abdominal wall for a long time. In this way, patients will not feel pain after surgery. Even if they feel some pain the day after the operation, this pain will be due to the tension caused by the tummy tuck. In endoscopic tummy tuck and mini tummy tuck surgeries, the pain will be even less.
