Tummy Tuck | Abdominoplasty | Antalya
A tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that offers a suitable treatment option for sagging and/or a fatty abdomen. Having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or below is important for the surgery to be problem-free and achieve the desired results. In cases where the BMI is between 30-35, eligibility for surgery is rare and pros and cons should be carefully considered.
Why Undergo a Tummy Tuck Surgery?
This surgery can help you get rid of abdominal folds, post-pregnancy stretch marks, an unattractive navel, and excess fat. It is important to note that this surgery is not a weight loss surgery but a body contouring surgery.
How Is the Surgery Performed?
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Sometimes, liposuction is done prior to this surgery. The planned incision for the surgery varies depending on the patient's needs. Excess skin is removed, and the abdominal wall muscles are stitched. Since the muscle stitching is done with dissolvable stitches, it does not prevent women from becoming pregnant again. The procedure concludes with stitches and the placement of drains. In rare cases, drains are not used.
Techniques Used
A tummy tuck can be performed with or without liposuction. The type of tummy tuck varies based on the incision made and the extent of the surgery. These include:
Pre- and Post-Operative Care: Detailed consultations before a tummy tuck are essential to understand your expectations and plan the procedure correctly.
Pre-Operative Consultation: Detailed consultations help plan the surgery and understand your personal expectations. The body mass index (BMI) calculated with your height and weight values is important for our surgical planning. During this consultation, we decide together how the surgery will be performed, which techniques will be used, and the post-operative process. It is crucial that you do not smoke.
Preparation Process: Preparing for surgery includes certain blood tests, health checks, and pre-operative dietary recommendations.
Post-Operative Recovery: Swelling and sometimes bruising will occur after surgery. Swelling can persist for several weeks to several months. It is important to avoid excessive physical activities during the post-operative period. Protecting yourself from the sun and wearing a corset are also very important.
Pain and Discomfort: Mild pain may rarely occur after surgery and can be controlled with prescribed medication.
Follow-Up and Monitoring: Regular follow-ups during the post-operative period are important to monitor the healing process and detect any potential complications early. My team and I will be with you throughout the entire process, answering any questions you may have.
