QUESTIONS ABOUT TUMMY TUCK SURGERY
It is possible to have a tense abdomen by removing excess skin with tummy tuck surgery. Turkey Medicals medical hospital department and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. gave information about tummy tuck surgery in Antalya and Istanbul Turkey.
The abundance of skin in the abdominal area caused by time, births and weight loss effects makes the person both visually uncomfortable and these excess skin makes movement restricted.
.
WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK SURGERY ?
The process of removing the skin abundances that occur in the abdominal area for the reasons listed above and tightening the remaining abdominal skin by stretching is called a tummy tuck. Thanks to this operation, both a more beautiful and firmer abdominal appearance is achieved and many movements in everyday life that are prevented by loose skin are comfortably performed.
.
HOW IS A TUMMY TUCK PERFORMED?
The majority of the patients who applied for a tummy tuck are women who have given birth. Especially after the second birth, a number of problems occur more often in the abdomen. And there are also women at a younger age who have not given birth, who have lost serious weight. Of course, the same situation can occur in men when they lose weight.Although fat is removed in the abdominal area, an excessive abundance of skin is formed. Then the liposuction procedure is not enough, the skin also needs to be removed.
In such cases, it is necessary to perform a tummy tuck operation.The most common abdominal surgery is when the abdomen hangs down like a skirt in women who have had second, third or even more births, as has been said before. In fact, it is so dramatic that a person cannot see his genital area and clean it up. A number of wounds, problems occur on the skin below the area where this skin is sagging. Although weight is lost, it is not possible to get rid of this skin.Even in people with this excess weight loss event, this abundance of skin is also present on the back. Sometimes it may be necessary to stretch the lumbar region at the same time as the abdomen is stretched. In the genital area, it is as if it has separated from the abdomen and fallen down. When performing the operation, this area also needs to be corrected.
.
TO WHOM DOES IT APPLY,AND TO WHOM DOES IT NOT APPLY ?
A tummy tuck operation in Antalya and Istanbul hospital Turkey can be performed on every adult who has sagging skin, is uncomfortable with this condition, does not have a chronic disease. If she has a chronic illness, has not completed the labor work, the process of losing weight is underway, the operation may be postponed for a while longer. But, of course, the doctor and the patient should decide on this together as a result of the examination.
.
HOW LONG WILL THE OPERATION TAKE ?
Tummy tuck surgery takes about 2 hours or so. Considering that the leave coinciding with the cesarean section has been extended in this region, we need to accept a line that will remain within panties. The belly button place has already shifted downwards. This, in turn, is transferred to the place where it should be normal.Usually, the sagging skin in the area from the bottom of the navel to the hairy area is removed. Up to this area, the abdominal wall is removed and the abdomen is pulled down. Thus, a flat stomach is obtained. At the same time, the part that falls in the genital area is lifted up. Cleaning of the genital area is facilitated, its aesthetic appearance is also corrected.Sometimes the abundance of skin in the area above the navel is not much. It is more on the underside. Then we do what we call a mini tummy tuck. In this process, the cesarean section scar is again entered as a little longer, and only a limited amount of skin is taken here. The belly button doesn’t move.
.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR AFTER SURGERY ?
After the tummy tuck surgery, we always put a drain. Sometimes we may not put it in the mini tummy tuck. The drain is removed the next day. Our patients stay in the hospital one night, the next day they can go home in the afternoon. For about a month, they need to use a corset that they can decouple and put on from time to time. Such a large sagging does not occur again when they gain weight again or give birth.
.
IS THE AGE FACTOR IMPORTANT ?
it’s very important to be over the age of 18. It would not be right to do a tummy tuck because development has not yet been completed before. There is no upper limit on age. The tummy tuck can be performed even at an advanced age, as long as it is not a chronic disease.
Operator Doctor in Antalya finally said, “As a result: if you also suffer from sagging skin in the abdominal area and the discomfort caused by this condition, you can get an opinion as an examination to the nearest Turkish plastic surgery specialist.”
