Due to pregnancy, excessive weight changes, or that the skin loses its elasticity and becomes susceptible to deformation, sagging may occur especially in the abdominal area. With a comfortable tummy tuck surgery, it is possible to have a flat and fit abdomen by correcting these skin sagging.

Abdominal stretching performed under general anesthesia can be done as a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck, depending on the scope and detail of the procedure to be performed. The method to be applied is decided according to the needs of the patient during the consultation examination.

In a tummy tuck operation, where the appearance of a flat stomach is intended, not only the skin in the abdominal area, but also the abdominal muscles can be intervened depending on the deformation faced by the patient, if necessary, and a holistic shaping can be achieved by stretching the muscles. 

Tummy tuck surgeries are comfortable and reliable surgeries. Depending on details of the procedure performed, patients are accommodated in the hospital for a day or two after the tummy tuck surgery. Patients can return to their social lives within an average of 7 to 9 days after discharge, provided that they do not force themselves. 

Sports activities can be started 1 to 1.5 months after surgery.

Will there be any scars in tummy tuck surgery?

Scars remain in almost all plastic surgeries. The important thing is to make a planning that will cover the scar correctly. Since an incision is made in the lower abdomen, which we call a bikini scar in tummy tuck surgery, a slight scar remains here after the operation. Although this scar is red and prominent in the first postoperative period, it becomes faint over time in about 1 year and takes on a colour close to the person’s skin colour. 

Tummy tuck surgeries are the operations performed not to lose weight, but to remove deformations in the abdominal area depending on time. Tummy tuck operations, in which abdominal muscles are improved by removing loose and excess skin, can be performed in combination with many different plastic surgery procedures, particularly with breast aesthetic operations.
