All kinds of diets and sports have been tried, but the abdomen that has lost its elasticity will not recover.
People with sagging abdominal tissue who do not smoke, are not obese and do not have serious health problems are suitable. It does not help in cases of internal fat, sports and diet are recommended in this case. Those who do not pay attention to their diet after this surgery may have internal fat.
Since the abdominal midline muscles are separated with pregnancy and excessive weight gain and loss, the abdominal curvature occurs and it is especially evident in the sitting position. During the surgery, these muscles are joined to the midline and an internal corset is created and a flatter abdominal structure is formed. The ideal abdominal shape draws an S when viewed from the side.
Belly button aesthetics is also performed at this stage.
Liposuction is added together.
With tummy tuck, the stretch marks below the belly button are removed while those above it are reduced to the lower level.
If any, the umbilical hernia can also be repaired.
It may also be necessary to remove tissue from the midline of the abdomen after excessive weight loss, such as after stomach reduction surgeries.
In addition to the improvement in aesthetic appearance, tightening of the abdominal muscles supports the lumbar region, relieving back pain, improving urinary incontinence problems, eczema, fungus and odor formation in the fold areas.
Mini tummy tuck is used for sagging below the navel where the abdominal muscles are intact.
The operation takes an average of 2 hours. You will stay in the hospital for one night. The dressing can be opened and showered on the 3rd day. Rest for 1 week, jogging after 6 weeks and sports can be started after 8 weeks.
A corset is used for 6 weeks after surgery.
Possible postoperative complications include wound separation, necrosis, infection, water collection under the tissue (seroma) and thromboembolism in overweight, smoker and diabetic patients.
