How is a tummy tuck surgery performed in Turkey?

The surgeon removes excess skin and fatty tissue. As a result, the patient gets a flat and elastic abdomen.

However, only the surgeon can give recommendations and a vision of the method of performing plastic surgery.

Preparation for abdominoplasty

In order for the rehabilitation process to be as short as possible, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s recommendations both before and after the abdominoplasty surgery:

Abdominoplasty surgery

Abdominoplasty in Turkey is performed under general anesthesia. The operation lasts 2-3 hours. The surgeon makes a transverse incision above the pubic area, from one hip to the other. The incision is in the form of an arc, reminiscent of a smile.

The next step is the separation of the skin and subcutaneous fat. In women who have given birth, the abdominal muscles may be stretched. In this case, the surgeon strengthens and connects them, tightening the abdominal wall.

Then the excess skin is stretched and excised. If necessary, by prior agreement with the patient, the surgeon performs liposuction, reducing fat deposits in the abdomen, sides, and waist.

The surgeon forms the navel in a new place, applies absorbable sutures. Then the doctor stitches the wound gradually, layer by layer. At the end of the operation, a subcutaneous drainage is installed. The abdomen is tightened with a fixing bandage.
