Tummy Tuck ( Abdominoplasty )

'' Time to fix your Form ''

Tummy tuck surgery ;

​

Tummy Tuck is a surgical treatment for abdominal deformities occured by excessive weight gain and weight loss, pregnancy, aging , hereditary features, loosening of the abdominal wall and skin which is  caused by previous surgeries . Tummy tuck surgery is not a supplement to slimming or exercise programs . The purpose is to bring the contour of the abdominal cavity in the most appropriate form and to tighten the abdominal wall. Because of this, for those who are taking part in the weight-loss program or plan to become pregnant , it is appropriate to postpone the tummy tuck surgery .

Healing phase after surgery

​

Depending on the type of surgery, you spend the next 1-2 days in the hospital and then be discharged. During the operation to drain the blood two drains are placed, which are removed after 1 or 2 days. At the end of the operation, a special pressure corset will be put on in the operating room or in your bed. The corset, which you will need to wear for a month, will relieve the swelling and pain caused by the surgery and the movements. During wound healing, an antibiotic treatment for infection is performed for one week . Your movements should be extremely limited for 7 to 10 days. After 15 days you can start with light sports such as walks. At the end of the first month, you can start off corset-free and do light exercises. Heavy sports and exercises can be started in the second or third month. The most frequently asked question is "When can I return to work?". It depends on the type of operation and the difficulty of your job. If you do a light desk job, you can go back to work on a mini tummy tuck after 5 to 7 days, after a full tummy tuck after 7 to 10 days. However, your personal pain resistance and the quality of your wound healing play an important role.
