Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty)
Information: Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty) at fomedi removes excess skin and fat around the stomach while tightening the abdominal wall. The surgery is frequently performed after pregnancy or weight loss when there is stretched or sagging skin. A new belly button may need to be surgically created. Other procedures such as liposuction or breast augmentation with uplift are often performed at the same time.
Abdominoplasty - tummy tuck surgery in Antalya - is an aesthetic method that provides flat abdomen and tightness to the abdominal muscles, by removing the fat tissue in the middle and lower abdomen and excess skin. Sagging abdominal skin usually occurs due to deformation of the abdomen and abdomen muscles resulting from pregnancy, excessive weight gain, and relaxation.
Significant weight loss causes relaxation and sagging in the abdomen. Even in people with normal size and weight, sometimes a little excess skin, looseness and sagging may occur in the abdomen. The most important reasons for this situation can be genetic features, multiple pregnancies, previous surgical procedures and weight gain-loss. Tummy tuck surgery in Turkey involving the removal of skin and subcutaneous fat tissue and tightening of the muscles dramatically corrects the sagging abdomen.
If you would like to get a tightened and flat belly and abdomen, tummy tuck surgery can help you. Abdominoplasty allows the removal of excess fat and excess skin. In some cases, it may be necessary to repair the muscles that are loose and dissociated. This provides a flat, tense abdomen look.
It would be the most rational and right decision to postpone this surgery for women who would like to have a child soon. If you smoke, you will be asked to stop smoking to get the best results after the operation. Smoking will decrease blood flow by narrowing the veins in your body, and a slow and bad recovery will occur. Some painkillers such as aspirin may increase bleeding and should be discontinued a few weeks before the surgery. A physical exam will reveal whether you are a good candidate for this operation. It must be noted that abdominoplasty is not a direct weight loss surgery, it is an operation to correct the body lines.
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery in Antalya is an operation to be performed in a hospital. In most cases, general anaesthesia is preferred. Sedation and local anaesthesia can be done for mini tummy tuck surgery. These decisions will be determined according to the details of the procedure, your surgeon and your choice. Abdominoplasty operation takes 2-3 hours depending on the extent of the surgery. An incision line that can be concealed under the underwear is made 8-10 cm below the belly. A second incision is made to transfer the belly button around the belly. Immediately after the operation, patients wear a medical corset.
