Abdominoplasty

Pregnancy, sudden weight gain or loss, and aging can cause loosening of the abdominal muscles, skin sagging, and loss of elasticity. This condition can negatively affect both physical appearance and quality of life. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is performed to correct these loosenings in the abdominal area, remove excess sagging skin, and tighten the muscles. Often combined with liposuction, this procedure provides a firmer, flatter, and more aesthetic abdominal profile.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts about 3–3.5 hours. After the operation, patients usually stay in the hospital for 1–2 days. Walking slightly bent forward in the first days and wearing a compression garment for 6 weeks supports the healing process. Patients can return to daily activities approximately 2 weeks after surgery, but heavy exercise and movements that strain the abdominal muscles should be avoided for 2–3 months.

Thanks to abdominoplasty, patients achieve a slimmer waist, a flat abdomen, and an aesthetic belly line. To maintain long-lasting results, it is important to keep weight stable, exercise regularly, and maintain healthy eating habits.

For those planning pregnancy, the surgery should be postponed until after childbirth. The surgical scars are planned to be hidden in the bikini area and fade over time. Rare complications such as subcutaneous blood or fluid accumulation and wound infection may occur, but these risks can be minimized with an experienced surgeon and proper postoperative care.

Abdominoplasty is an important surgical procedure that not only provides aesthetic improvement but also boosts the patient’s self-confidence and quality of life. For detailed evaluation and personalized planning, please contact our clinic.
