Abdominoplasty is an operation performed to remove excess fat and sagging skin tissue in the abdominal area.
Abdominoplasty is an operation performed to remove excess fat and sagging skin tissue in the abdominal area. Abdominoplasty also offers solutions to skin problems such as abdominal sagging, stretch marks and loosening.
Patients often prefer abdominoplasty especially if the fat tissues stored in the abdominal area cannot be removed with sports. After the operation, the abdominal area has a firmer, flatter and aesthetically improved appearance.
The patient, who does not have any health problems that prevent abdominoplasty, is ready for surgery after the measurements performed by the doctor and the drawings that will guide the surgery. In the tummy tuck surgery, which lasts an average of 3-3.5 hours under general anaesthesia, excess fat tissues and skin are removed from the body. The belly button is repositioned and the abdomen regains a tight, taut form.
At the end of the operation, drains can be placed in the patient. Then the patient is taken to his/her room to rest. After the abdominoplasty, the patient is hospitalised for 1 night and the necessary controls are provided by the doctor during this period. The next day, the patient can return home/hotel. After the operation, the patient is dressed in a corset, it is very important to wear this corset for the period recommended by the doctor.
1- 5 DAYS It is quite normal to experience pain, oedema and swelling in the first days after abdominoplasty. By the end of the 5th day, most of these complaints will have decreased. It is very important for the patient to rest for the first five days, avoid sudden movements that will tire the body and protect the operation areas from impacts. If a drain is placed in the operation, these drains are removed by the doctor on the 2-3rd day after the operation and routine postoperative controls are performed. The patient can take a shower at the end of the 3rd day with the doctor's approval.
DAY 5-14. In the first week after the operation, the patient's stitches are removed and in this period when the oedema decreases considerably, the patient can return home at the end of the 7th-10th day if he/she lives abroad or outside the city. On the 10th-14th days, the patient can take small walks provided that he/she does not tire himself/herself and can return to his/her daily life. 2. Abundant water consumption and balanced nutrition are very important for the healing process
