Tummy Tuck IN TURKEY

What is Tummy Tuck?

A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer, and more contoured stomach. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have loose skin due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging and want to achieve a toned midsection.

It is especially beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have loose or sagging abdominal skin due to weight loss or pregnancy.
  • Struggle with stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
  • Experience weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).

    Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Procedure 

    Pre-Surgery Consultation & Planning

    • The surgeon evaluates skin laxity, fat distribution, and abdominal muscles.
    • The desired incision placement and surgical approach are discussed.
    • Pre-surgery guidelines are provided, including dietary restrictions and medication adjustments.

    Anesthesia Administration

    • The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience.

    Incision & Removal of Excess Skin & Fat

    • A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area.
    • Liposuction may be used to remove additional fat.
    • Excess skin is trimmed, and abdominal muscles are tightened to create a firmer stomach.

    Belly Button Repositioning (If Necessary)

    • In a full tummy tuck, the belly button is repositioned to match the new, tighter skin.

    Closing the Incisions & Applying Compression Garment

    • The incisions are sutured closed, and drains may be placed to remove excess fluid.
    • A compression garment is applied to minimize swelling and support healing.
    • Patients are monitored and discharged within 24-48 hours after surgery.

    Recovery After Tummy Tuck Surgery

    • First 1-2 Weeks: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. Patients must wear a compression garment 24/7. Avoid strenuous activity and stay hydrated.
    • 2-4 Weeks: Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks. Light activities are allowed, but no heavy lifting or intense exercise.
    • 6-8 Weeks: Swelling continues to reduce. Most patients can resume normal activities and light workouts.
    • 3-6 Months: Final results become fully visible as swelling completely subsides. Scars begin to fade and flatten over time.
    • Full Healing: Tummy tuck results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

    How Long Does a Tummy Tuck Last?

    • A Tummy Tuck provides permanent results, but maintaining a stable weight is crucial.
    • Weight gain, pregnancy, or aging may alter the results over time.
    • With proper care, results can last a lifetime.

    No, a Tummy Tuck is NOT a weight-loss procedure. It is a body contouring surgery that removes excess skin and fat, but it does not replace weight loss methods. Ideal candidates should be at or near their goal weight before undergoing surgery.
    • A Tummy Tuck can remove some stretch marks, especially if they are located on the lower abdomen.
    • If the stretch marks are above the belly button, they may be repositioned lower but not completely removed.
    • Laser treatments or microneedling can help improve the appearance of remaining stretch marks.

    Most patients can shower 48 hours after surgery, but they must avoid submerging in water (baths, pools, hot tubs) for at least 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will give specific post-op bathing instructions to prevent infections.

    Most patients can drive after 2-3 weeks, once they are off pain medications and can move comfortably. Long-distance travel should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complications.
    • Patients with sedentary jobs can return to work within 2-3 weeks.
    • Jobs that require physical labor or lifting may require 4-6 weeks off.
    • Your surgeon will provide personalized recovery guidelines.

    Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 4-6 weeks before resuming sexual activity. Any activity that puts pressure on the abdomen should be avoided.
