WHAT IS TUMMY TUCK?

Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery technique that tightens the
muscles of the abdominal wall and eliminates extra skin and fat from
the middle and lower regions of the abdomen. This procedure has the
potential to drastically alter how an enlarged abdomen looks.
The best candidates for an abdominoplasty are:
• Men and women with reasonably smooth bodies who are unable to lose
significant amounts of abdominal skin loosening or fat accumulation
through diet or exercise
• Female patients who have undergone several pregnancies and whose
abdominal muscles and skin.
• Loss of elasticity in the skin due to mild obesity is common, and
tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) may also be beneficial in these cases.

TUMMY TUCK METHODS

Tummy tuck surgery; also known as abdominoplasty in medicine. It is
one of the most popular operations in the field of abdominal and belly
aesthetics. Pregnancy period creates some disadvantages for women.
Especially after this period, the muscles and skin in the abdomen
cannot return to its pre-birth state. Therefore, unpleasant
deformations occur in the abdomen. Women who have given birth more
than twice or gain more weight than necessary during pregnancy. These
are very affected by this situation.
Tummy tuck surgery is a preferred operation after pregnancy. Because,
after this period, the connective tissue in the abdominal wall
loosens. Also, the abdominal wall comes forward. Therefore, some
cracks and slack formation are observed in the abdomen. As a result,
women who cannot get over the effect of giving birth; and they
encounter an image that will make them look bad from an aesthetic
point of view. Tummy tuck surgery is done in order to save the
abdominal region from the deformation and restore it. After the birth,
the loose and sagging abdominal skin is recovered. In addition, during
tummy tuck surgery, excess fat is removed from the area. It is ensured
that the person has a flat stomach. Abdominoplasty surgeries differs
depending on the person's condition. Mini tummy tuck surgeries usually
take one to two hours. During general tummy tuck surgeries, an
incision is made above the pubic region. In addition to this incision
made between the two hip bones, a second incision is made to cut the
connection between the navel and other tissues. In addition, the
location of the belly button may change in general tummy tuck
surgeries compared to mini operations.
In the process of tummy tuck surgery, the skin tissue is first
stretched towards the ribs. It is lifted from where it is in order to
clarify the remaining muscles in the lower part. It is aimed to reveal
the abdominal muscles. The abdominal muscles in question are combined
and shaped. In addition, they need to be fixed by sewing in order to
preserve their shape. In the next stage of tummy tuck surgery, the
skin on the upper surface is pulled down and stretched. Belly button
is required to be sewn in order to remain stable while being placed in
its new place. Precautions are also taken against situations that may
occur during tummy tuck surgery. For example, a drain is placed in the
surgical area during the operation in order to remove the blood and
edema, which is undesirable to accumulate inside. Thanks to these
tubes, the blood and fluid in the wound are thrown out. Each of these
procedures is carried out while the patient is asleep. In addition,
local anesthesia is also used in mini tummy tuck operations.

BEFORE TUMMY TUCK OPERATION

Those who have sagging abdominal skin that does not respond to diet
and exercise are candidates for this surgery, which is applied to both
women and men. This surgery should be postponed in those who have a
pregnancy and weight loss plan. All drugs-herbal products used, and
smoking should be stopped before the operation. Abdominoplasty is not
a weight loss method. It is an operation that stretches your abdominal
skin and tightens your abdominal muscles. Along with it, liposuction
is mostly used for retouching. It is not correct to do it at the same
time as birth. The patient needs to wait at least six months. The
operation is performed in the hospital under general or regional
anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours. It is performed through an incision
hidden inside the underwear. The abdominal muscles are strengthened,
and the skin is stretched closed, so when you wake up you find
yourself in a curved "V" shape at the waist. Your drains are removed
in 1-4 days. It is recommended to walk leaning forward. If dissolving
sutures were utilized, removal is not necessary. 1 month corset use is
necessary. Apart from the classical tummy tuck, mini abdominoplasty
may be preferred for those with a relatively tighter abdomen and
limited skin laxity. Here, the incision is short, and the
surgery-recovery time is also short. Circumferential abdominoplasty or
360-degree tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) may be preferred for those who
have all-around drooping, who have undergone bariatric surgery after
excessive weight loss. In these surgeries, the belly button is also
shaped, and the aesthetic appearance is completed by taking it to its
ideal place and shape.
Your surgeon will give you information about meals, drinks, smoking,
necessary and unneeded vitamins and medications to prepare you for the
procedure. Do not expose your abdomen to the sun before surgery and do
not follow a strict diet, as both of these can reduce your rate of
recovery. In case of any cold or infection, the surgical procedure
will likely be postponed. Whether you are hospitalized for the
surgical procedure or not, you should also arrange for someone to help
you with the housework for a day or two.

 

AFTER TUMMY TUCK OPERATION

During the first few days after tummy tuck surgery, you may have
swelling, pain and discomfort in your abdomen. These complaints can be
controlled with medications. Depending on the extent of the surgery,
you may go home a few hours after the procedure, or you may need to
stay in the hospital for a few days. Your doctor will give you some
advice on showering and changing your clothes. You may not be able to
stand upright initially, however, you should start walking as soon as
possible after the procedure. The sutures on the surface are removed
in 5-7 days, the ends of the deep sutures are on the surface of the
skin will come out within 2-3 weeks. A supportive garment can be used
in place of the dressings on the incision.
It may take weeks or months for you to feel the same as before. If you
are in good physical condition and your abs are strong at the
beginning, your recovery will be much faster. Some patients can return
to work after two weeks, while others may need 3-4 weeks of rest to
recover. Exercise improves your acceleration. Even people who have
never exercised before need to start an exercise program to reduce
bloating, lower the risk of blood clots, and put tension in the
muscles. However, you should avoid strenuous exercises until the day
you can do it comfortably. Your scars (surgical scars) may seem to get
worse for the first 3-6 months, but this is normal. Keep in mind that
it may take 9-12 months for scars to flatten and lighten. Although
they never completely disappear, abdominal scars are not visible under
most clothing (or even swimsuits).
Whether partial or complete, tummy tuck provides excellent results for
people with weakened abdominal muscles or excessive sagging skin.
