Abdominoplasty or correction surgeries performed to eliminate deformities in the abdominal area are preferred, especially to eliminate sagging that develops due to obesity surgery and excessive weight loss after birth. Those who have problems due to deformation in the abdominal area can achieve a more aesthetic appearance with a tummy tuck surgery before summer.
Multiple pregnancy can cause sagging in the abdomen.
Deformity in the abdominal area. It occurs when the abdominal muscles relax as a result of excess skin and subcutaneous tissue. The most common reason for this is multiple pregnancies.
During pregnancy, the skin tissue and abdominal muscles are stretched beyond the elasticity level of the tissues. "Rectus diastasis" occurs when the membrane that holds the rectus muscles, which enable the body to move forward, ruptures and moves away from each other, creating a gap in between. Weight loss after pregnancy also contributes to this deformation. For this reason, the weight gained during pregnancy should be lost in the 6-12 months after birth. Thus, during this period, the skin of the abdomen will return to its previous shape and tighten. If the sagging appearance of the skin continues during this period despite diet and exercise, the abdominal area will probably never recover.
Losing excess weight stretches the abdominal wall.
It causes sagging. Another important reason is excessive weight gain. Excess weight lost through diet or stomach reduction operations causes stretching of the abdominal wall and excess skin tissue. In addition, deformities that occur after abdominal surgery are among the causes of sagging. Incision scars, especially those resulting from gallbladder, intestine or stomach surgeries and cesarean sections, can cause deformities in the abdomen.
Suitable criteria for abdominoplasty:
General Anyone over the age of 18 who is in good health and has no obstacle to surgery can undergo abdominoplasty. It is extremely important to take the person's medical history and habits before surgery. Previous pregnancies and their effects on the abdominal wall should be evaluated, the patient's weight gain and loss process should be discussed, and previous pregnancies should be evaluated. All surgical interventions, open or closed, should be detailed. If the patient plans to lose more than 5-6 kilos of weight, it should be recommended to postpone the operation. Before the operation, one should be motivated to get as close to the target weight as possible.

In order to accelerate the recovery before the operation, it should be ensured that the person exercises, and if smoking, it should be quit at least 4 weeks before the surgery.
Things to be done before surgery:
-
Before the abdominoplasty, a detailed physical examination should be performed. All traces of the abdominal wall should be recorded, and the presence of abdominal hernias should be noted.
-
The condition and tension of the abdominal wall should be examined. The amount, elasticity and quality of the abdominal wall skin should be evaluated in detail.
-
Photography should be taken before the operation and the patient should be given detailed information about the operation. For example, the patient should know that removing excess skin and fat tissue cannot flatten the swelling caused by the large structure called 'omentum' inside the abdominal wall.
-
The name 'stria' in the abdominal area of women who have had more than one pregnancy. It should be said that the lines (cracks) will not completely disappear after the operation, and only the parts of these cracks below the belly button will disappear.
-
The scar that will appear as a result of the operation will be placed directly on the patient's skin or on the photograph. should be specified. The nature of this scar and the potential wound problem that may occur should be shared with the patient.
Abdominal stretching surgeries take 2-3 hours. In these surgeries, liposuction procedures can be added to the upper abdomen and side abdomen and waist areas, depending on the physical characteristics of the patient. However, it is better to plan other surgical procedures in a separate session.
