A flat stomach is almost everyone's dream. The diet and exercise we do to achieve this are procedures that can get results in the long term, and sometimes not. Operationally, when we want to obtain a flat stomach and a thin waist, the surgery we perform is abdominoplasty.
Abdominoplasty is an operation performed under general anesthesia in operating room conditions and takes approximately 2-3 hours. It is performed by making a longer incision in the area where the cesarean section is made. The separated rectus muscles on the anterior abdominal wall, which give the abdomen its curve, are stitched together and procedures are performed to create an internal corset effect. The belly button, whose location will be changed after stretching, is placed in its new location. Excess sagging skin and fat tissue is removed and the abdominal skin is closed taut. Stitch marks that fade over time can be hidden under bikini and underwear. A flatter abdomen and a thinner waist can be achieved by performing liposuction on the side areas of the waist and other areas where necessary.
The hospital stay is 1-3 days. Postoperative pain is minimal and responds to painkillers. The patient starts walking after surgery. Walking bent forward at the waist for a while, gradually transitions to upright walking within a few days. Corset use will be required for 6 weeks. You can return to your work life in approximately 2-4 weeks.
In mini abdominoplasty surgery, a stretching procedure is performed under the belly button and the location of the belly button does not need to be changed.
You should not smoke for 4 weeks before the operation and 2 weeks after. It is very important for wound healing.
It is possible to get rid of abdominal fat and sagging skin with Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck surgery).
