Abdominoplasty

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a frequently performed cosmetic surgical procedure. This operation is performed to correct sagging and excess skin in the abdominal area and to tighten the abdominal muscles. It is often chosen to address loose abdominal skin caused by factors such as pregnancy, rapid weight loss, or aging.

Who is it Suitable For?

Abdominoplasty is typically considered for the following situations:

• • Sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy
• • Sagging skin following rapid weight loss
• • Abdominal sagging due to the effects of aging

Post-Pregnancy Abdominal Sagging

Pregnancy is a process that causes several changes in the body. During this process, the abdominal skin expands, and sometimes it may struggle to return to its pre-pregnancy state after childbirth. Abdominoplasty is an effective solution for correcting sagging skin that occurs after pregnancy.

Sagging Skin Following Rapid Weight Loss

Rapid weight loss is often achieved through methods such as obesity surgery or diet and exercise. However, after rapid weight loss, the skin may lose its elasticity, leading to sagging in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty can help address such situations.

Abdominal Sagging Due to Aging Effects

With the aging process, the skin loses its elastic structure, leading to sagging in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty can be preferred to correct such sagging caused by aging effects.

Recovery Process

The stitches placed after the surgery initiate the healing process. Adhering to the care instructions recommended by experts is key to successful recovery.
