Loosening of the abdominal muscles, sagging of the skin and loss of elasticity may occur due to birth, sudden weight gain and loss and age. This situation can negatively affect both physical appearance and living comfort. Abdominal stretching surgery is performed to correct these loosenings in the abdominal area, remove excess sagging skin and tighten the muscles. This procedure, which is often combined with liposuction, provides a firmer, flatter and more aesthetically pleasing abdominal profile.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 3–3.5 hours. After the operation, the patient usually stays in the hospital for 1-2 days. Walking slightly leaning forward in the first days and using a corset for 6 weeks supports the healing process. After approximately 2 weeks, the patient can return to daily activities; Heavy exercise and movements that strain the abdominal muscles should be avoided for 2-3 months.
Thanks to the tummy tuck procedure, the patient achieves a slimmer waist, a flat stomach and an aesthetic belly line. In order for the results obtained from the surgery to be long-lasting, it is important to keep the weight constant, exercise regularly and maintain healthy eating habits.
For people planning pregnancy, this surgery should be postponed until after birth. Surgery scars are planned to be hidden in the bikini area and fade over time. Rare complications such as subcutaneous blood and fluid accumulation and wound infection may develop after the procedure; However, these risks can be minimized with an experienced surgeon and a good follow-up process.
Tummy tuck surgery is an important surgical procedure that goes beyond an aesthetic improvement, increasing the patient’s self-confidence and improving their quality of life. You can contact our clinic for detailed evaluation and personalized planning.
